Martin Luther King, Jr., (January 15, 1929 - April 4, 1968) was born Michael Luther King, Jr., but later had his name changed to Martin. His grandfather began the family’s long tenure as pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, serving from 1914 to 1931; his father served from 1931 until his death in 1984, and from 1960 until his death Martin acted as co-pastor. Martin attended segregated public schools in Georgia, graduating from high school at the age of fifteen; he received the B.A. degree in 1948 from Morehouse College, a distinguished Negro institution in Atlanta from which both his father and grandfather graduated. After three years of theological study at Crozer Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania where he was elected www.milwaukeetimesnews.com

president of a predominantly white senior class, he was awarded his Bachelor’s in Divinity in 1951. With a fellowship won at Crozer, he enrolled in graduate studies at Boston University, completing his residence for the doctorate in 1953 and receiving the degree in 1955. In Boston he met and married Coretta Scott, a young woman of uncommon intellectual and artistic attainments. Two sons and two daughters were born into the family. In 1954, Martin Luther King accepted the pastorate of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, AL. Always a strong worker for civil rights for members of his race, King was, by this time, a member of the executive committee of the National Association for the

Advancement of Colored People, the leading organization of its kind in the nation. He was ready, then early in December 1955, to accept the leadership of the first great Negro nonviolent demonstration of contemporary times in the United States, the bus boycott described by Gunnar Jahn in his presentation speech in honor of the Nobel Peace Prize laureate. The boycott lasted 382 days. On December 21, 1956, after the Supreme Court of the United States had declared unconstitutional the laws requiring segregation on buses, Negroes and whites rode the buses as equals. During these days of boycott, King was arrested, his home was bombed, he was subjected to personal abuse, but at the same time he emerged as a Negro leader

of the first rank. In 1957 he was elected president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization formed to provide new leadership for the then burgeoning civil rights movement. The ideals for this organization he took from Christianity; its operational techniques from Gandhi. In the eleven-year period between 1957 and 1968, King traveled over six million miles and spoke over twenty-five hundred times, appearing wherever there was injustice, protest, and action; and meanwhile he wrote five books as well as numerous articles. In these years, he led a massive protest in Birmingham, AL, that caught the attention of the entire world, providing what he called a coalition of conscience and inspiring his “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” a manifesto of the Negro revolution. He planned the drives in Alabama for the registration of Negroes as voters; he directed the peaceful march on Washing-

ton, D.C., of 250,000 people to whom he delivered his address, “l Have a Dream;" he conferred with President John F. Kennedy and campaigned for President Lyndon B. Johnson; he was arrested upwards of twenty times and assaulted at least four times; he was awarded five honorary degrees; was named Man of the Year by Time magazine in 1963; and became not only the symbolic leader of American blacks but also a world figure. At the age of thirty-five, Martin Luther King, Jr., was the youngest man to have received the Nobel Peace Prize. When notified of his selection, he announced that he would turn over the prize money of $54,123 to the furtherance of the civil rights movement. On the evening of April 4, 1968, while standing on the balcony of his motel room in Memphis, TN, where he was to lead a protest march in sympathy with striking garbage workers of that city, he was assassinated.

Otis Clay, Hall Of Fame Rhythm And Blues singer, passes at 73 Hall of Fame rhythm and blues artist Otis Clay, known as much for his big heart and charitable work in Chicago as for his singing internationally, died Friday, January 8, 2016. He was 73. The Mississippi-born Clay - whose gruff, tenor-tinged voice on blues songs such as "Trying to Live My Life Without You" varied from his haunting but hopeful baritone on gospel standards like "When the Gates Swing Open" - died suddenly of a heart attack at 6:30 p.m., said his daughter, Ronda Tankson. The one-time Grammy nominee had a year of touring planned behind recent records and recognition at May's 37th Blues Music Awards, manager Miki Mulvehill said. Clay is nominated for Soul-Blues Male Artist and Soul-Blues Album for "This Time for Real," his collaboration with Billy Price. "Otis was the last standard-bearer for deep south-

Otis Clay ern soul music, the really gospel-inflected music that was in its heyday in the late '60s and early and mid '70s," Price told The Associated Press on Saturday. "These styles change, and different styles are in the forefront, but Otis was just as strong in the past five years ... For that reason, he was an icon for a lot of us who work in this genre."

European music enthusiasts and record-collectors flock to Clay's music because of its spare, "unvarnished" style wrought of the 1960s soul scenes in Memphis, TN and Muscle Shoals, AL, Price said. A 2013 Blues Hall of Fame inductee who moved to blues-steeped Chicago in 1957, Clay had just begun planning a gospel tour of the

U.S., followed by a summer European tour and, later, the Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise, Mulvehill said. His latest album is called, "Truth Is." But Clay was much more than a talented musician. A resident of Chicago's West Side, he was an avid humanitarian whose charitable works included assisting development of the Harold Washington Cultural Center. "Otis was the first one to jump on the 'Can I help?' train," Mulvehill said. Tankson, a Chicago special education teacher whose pupils include autistic children, said her father gave little thought to what benefit he'd get from performing and held nothing back, even when appearing for her students. "He sang to them as if they paid and he was on stage," Tankson said. Friends and co-workers of Tankson's, whom Clay had never met, repeatedly asked

if he would sing "When the Gates Swing Open" at loved ones' funerals. "He never let me down on that," she said, adding that he once delayed a recording-session trip to Memphis to comply. Clay was born Feb. 11, 1942 in Waxhaw, MS, to a musical and religious family, according to his online biography. After his arrival in Chicago, he joined the Golden Jubilaires, and in 1960 became part of Charles Bridges' Famous Blue Jay Singers, performing a cappella at schools and hotels. "We were known as variety singers, or we were billed as (performing) 'Old Negro Spirituals and Plantation Melodies'," Clay said in his biography. His recording debut came in 1965 with the rousing ballad, "Flame in Your Heart." Four decades later, in 2007, he was nominated for a Grammy for the gospel CD, "Walk a Mile in My Shoes."

Plastic Soul': David Bowie's legacy and impact on Black Artists

"You're going to make it… next year is your year!" Music icon David Bowie reportedly uttered these words to Luther Vandross in December of 1974. The declaration is just a snapshot of the special relationship between the two musical geniuses, recorded within the pages of the Craig Seymour biography, Luther: The Life and Longing of Luther Vandross. Bowie, 69, died late Sunday, January 10, 2016 after an 18 month long battle with cancer. In many ways Bowie's praise of Vandross illustrates his utmost respect not only for Vandross, but for the creativity and originality of black artists overall. In a 1983 interview with a very infant MTV, Bowie famously called out the network for their lack of black artists and hiding black music videos in overnight programming. "It occurred to me having watched MTV over the last few months that it's a solid enterprise," Bowie says to VJ Mark Goodman. "It's got a lot going for it. I'm just floored by the fact that there's so few black artists featured on it. Why is that?" DJ Sir Daniel, a local Atlanta party DJ, said Bowie had a standing relationship with the black community. "David Bowie, and many other British musicians, arrived on American shores with a deep passion for R&B and Gospel music," Daniel told NBCBLK. "In particular, David would make his 'glam-rock' music, but would also jam with Vandross, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner and others to edify his love of Black American music." Through his blue-eyed

tary, it was Carlos Alomar who introduced Vandross, among other musicians of color, to Bowie. Alomar, a Puerto Rican guitarist who met Bowie at RCA Recording Studios in 1974 went on to co-write the signature riff that evolved into the Bowie/ Lennon hit, "Fame" and has played with everyone from Mick Jagger to Bruno Mars. Simpson called the multitude of Twitter tributes on

Bowie with Luther Vandross, during the recording of Bowie's "Young Americans" album. soul, said Daniel, Bowie delivered music "on a gritty and soulful level that resonated with African Americans." "And of course he 'married into' the community via Iman," joked Daniel, referencing his 23 year marriage to the Somali-born supermodel. Today Iman remembered her husband of 23 years in a series of emotional and nostalgic Instagram posts. Donnie Simpson, a staple of urban radio, told NBCBLK that when he heard the news of his passing, he could not help but think of Bowie's admiration and respect for black music and black culture. Add to that, Simpson said Bowie was just so, "cool and different." "Back in the day David came to be a guest on Video Soul," said Simpson, referencing the program devoted to black artists that ran on BET from 1981-1996. "Other than Phil Collins and others, we did not get a lot of white artists on the show. He came to us and said to me that he saw value in the black community." It was because of Bowie that Simpson remembers

hearing Vandross' voice for the first time. A chance encounter in a Philadelphia recording studio led to Vandross doing the vocal arrangements for Bowie's 1975 "Young Americans" project. Not only that, but Vandross would also receive writing credits on the album and go on to become one of Bowie's background vocalists for the tour. The Showtime documentary about Bowie's life, Five Years, shows rare footage of tour rehearsals where Luther Vandross and other backing singers like Robin Clark tirelessly refine complex and unconventional soul harmonies together for songs like "Right". Ava Cherry, a backing singer on the album says she brought Bowie to the Apollo in Harlem to help him build the soul sound that he kept hearing and wanted to be sonically part of. True to chameleon form, Bowie says in voiceover, "I tried to do my own version of that kind of music." He was known to call his version "plastic soul." According to the documen-

Monday a proud sign that so many different stars, especially black artists, appreciated Bowie and his influence, or were helped by him in some way or another. He recalled a time when they were both scheduled to be in Minneapolis around the same time. Bowie invited Simpson to one of his performances while he was in town. (Continued on pg. 10)

LoveKindness

Perspectives

Wednesday, January 20, 2016

By: Michael S. Robertson Special to the Milwaukee Times

LoveKindness and why it is important At a recent church retreat we were asked to write what we would like to be said at our memorial service. It is surprisingly difficult to think about how we will be remembered after we are gone even though so much has been written about exactly that subject. We spend so much time focused on just getting by each day that it is easy to overlook what is most important. When we are young we do not give much attention to our legacy but later on it does receive more attention and yet habits are hard to break. So, as we begin another year, one resolution we can actually keep might be to focus on how we want to be remembered. How you treat someone on a daily basis is what that person will remember. Pretty simple and yet how easy to neglect. A kind word spoken at a critical moment can be remembered for a lifetime. What does it take to be remembered as having been a kind person as opposed to being rich and famous? Quite simple really, you merely have to treat others as you would

like to be treated. But it does have to start with how you treat yourself. We have been told that we are to, “Rejoice in the day that the Lord has made.” Also, we are to live joyfully and we cannot do that when we allow others to bombard us with bad news. I have stopped listening to or watching the news reports that report on how people are hurting others. We know that there are just as many stories of people helping others as there are of people hurting others. Yet these are not appearing in the news. So, it is up to each one of us

CHILD WATCH

to decide that today we will take the time to do at least one specific act of kindness so when we go to sleep we can know we did not waste the day. 1. Make a telephone call. 2. Send a card or letter. 3. Smile and greet someone in passing. 4. Visit someone who needs a visit. 5. Wear your Love Kindness button and give it to someone who comments on it. 6. Hug someone who needs a hug. 7. Hug yourself. 8. Count your blessings.

As we look at this short list note that doing these do not require money or much time and yet doing this each day will change how you are remembered. “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” How often do we claim this, yet fail to do the simple things that will truly give us the blessings we want? Will you report back on the success or difficulty you are having as you attempt to do this? What is keeping you from achieving just a small success? After just a few days do you see any difference? Can we share our successes? In our next column we will report specific acts of kindness that have been reported and will begin to award prizes.

Guns lethalize anger and despair

“Every single year, more than 30,000 Americans have their lives cut short by guns—30,000. Suicides. Domestic violence. Gang shootouts. Accidents. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have lost brothers and sisters, or buried their own children. Many have had to learn to live with a disability, or learned to live without the love of their life.” President Obama spoke movingly about the lives shattered by America’s gun violence epidemic on January 5 as he announced a series of new executive actions to reduce gun violence. These new measures will not prevent every shooting that snuffs out the lives of nearly seven children to gun violence daily; they will save many lives and help staunch the relentless plague of gun violence that terrorizes our nation’s homes, schools and communities. The President’s executive actions clarify that for purposes of requiring background checks a person does not need to sell guns in a traditional storefront to be “engaged in the business” of www.milwaukeetimesnews.com

selling guns. Some of those who conduct sales over the Internet or at gun shows will now be required to obtain a license and run background checks on potential purchasers or face stiff penalties. These steps, coupled with greater efficiency and effectiveness in our background check system, enforcement of existing gun laws, and new investments in mental health treatment and research into gun safety technologies, are long overdue. Legislative action to strengthen huge weaknesses in our nation’s gun laws is still required but the President's common-sense executive actions move us in the right direction. Several measures highlight one of the key components of our gun violence crisis: that much gun violence begins at home. So many wrongly believe that gun violence happens mostly “out on the streets” and others believe owning a gun will protect their family from gun violence. The opposite is true: A gun in the home increases the risk of homicide, suicide, and accidental death. Guns lethalize anger, do-

mestic disputes, mental illness and despair. A gun in the home makes the likelihood of homicide three times higher, suicide three to five times higher, and accidental death four times higher. The pro-gun lobby has created the fantasy of a gun as a homeowner’s perfect protection against a mythical intruder. In reality, each time a gun in the home injures or kills in self-defense, there are four unintentional shooting deaths or injuries, seven criminal assaults and

homicides with a gun, and 11 completed or attempted gun suicides. Suicides are the leading cause of gun deaths in America. In 2014, 21,334 adults, children and teens committed suicide with a gun compared to 10,945 gun homicides. Whites are most likely to die by gun suicide followed by American Indians and Alaska Natives. Whites were more than three times as likely as Blacks and nearly five times as likely as Hispanics to commit suicide by guns. In 2014, 929 children and teens committed suicide with a gun and 1,455 children and teens died in gun homicides. Guns lethalize suicide attempts. Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health’s Means Matter suicide prevention campaign explains, “Every study that has examined the issue to date has found that within the U.S., access to firearms is associated with increased suicide risk.” People who die by suicide are more likely to live in homes with guns. States with high gun ownership levels have higher suicide rates because

they have more gun suicides while the non-firearm suicide rate is about equal across states. They sum it up simply: “What is it about guns? Guns are more lethal than other suicide means. They’re quick. And they’re irreversible. About 85 percent of attempts with a firearm are fatal: that’s a much higher case fatality rate than for nearly every other method.” Nine out of ten people who attempt suicide and survive do not go on to die of suicide later—but most people who use a gun for their first try do not get a second chance. Guns can lethalize domestic violence. The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence notes the presence of a gun in a domestic violence situation increases the risk of homicide 500 percent. CDF noted in its Amicus Brief with the American Academy of Pediatrics in the U.S. Supreme Court case U.S. v. Castleman, that even when it is not used (Continued on pg. 18)

Rebuilding Our Community

Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper

By Dr. Andrew Calhoun, Ed.D. Special to the Milwaukee Times

Looking for a few good leaders The New Year is off running and so are a record number of people who are interested in one or more public offices. It going to be interesting to see what unfolds in the coming months from the upcoming battle for votes, debates and town hall meetings. However one thing is clear; many of the contenders will not make the cut. It is also going to be unclear if any of the incumbents or fresh faces to the political scene will be able to make a dent in the growing mountain of issues and social problems. And that is where the greatest concern lies; who is equipped, knowledgeable and ready to take on the issues that are affecting most residents in the city

of Milwaukee these days? Milwaukee, like so many other metro cities in America, is wrestling with a lot of issues that are affecting how the city operates, problems are handled and business is done. The list is endless and includes aging infrastructure, century-old housing, outdated water and sewage systems, and increasing levels of crime, lost sense of community, failing schools, vacant lots, empty buildings and food deserts. Beside those things we all can point to a few other areas of concern, however, the one thing that I have noticed is that there is a big “void in community leadership.” I am not talking about leadership created because

ed by situations and who live in those communities where the problems are real and the solutions are few. These are the places where leaders are “birthed into action” and take the lead to response to the crisis at hand. Today, there is a growing need for the development of “grass root leaders.” These leaders are desperately needed to fill in the looming leadership gaps. And with so many baby boomers becoming unable to take on the modern day challenges the situation is becoming more dire with each passing day. It is true that leadership at times is without easy answers, but that comes with the territory. And if you are looking at what I am seeing...

someone is running for some kind of paid public office, but real leadership that comes from the “grass root level.” This is the kind of leadership that is not found by a title or the holder of an office; but the kind of leadership that comes from those who lives are directly affect-

Over the past few decades the African American male image has changed. In the 1960’s the African American male was the militant. In the 1970’s and early 1980’s he was the player. In the late 80’s up to now he was the thug. In 2016 along with the thug image a new one is gaining momentum. The new and more stylistic image for the 2016 African American male is feminine by choice. I call the new style feminine by choice because it is. You look at many African American males and the dress is womanly at best. The over tight jeans and scarfs around their necks reek of femininity. You can say it looks sexy, and it does on women. On men who may stand over six feet it looks a tad bit bizarre. There are many who will argue that the new style is better than the sagging pants and big t-shirt era. I have to agree with this viewpoint. The sticking point is that many African American males who wear the tight jeans also sag. Sagging pants have become a culture to African Americans of both sexes. Look back to the 1960’s and the Black Power push; African American males were a menace. The image of African American males wielding weapons and menacing whites is powerful. A black man who isn’t scared of the white power structure? Can’t have that. Fast-forward to 2016 where even the athletes dress effeminately, no threat there. Can you see the trend?

The Counseling Corner By Rev. Judith T. Lester, B.Min. M.Th

Living a life that matters: Excellence pays big dividends (Week 2) This month this writer is reflecting on the subject: "Living A Life That Matters.” In an article written posthumously, Michael Hyatt pondered on the life and legacy of Maya Angelou concluding Ms. Angelou’s life was one of true significance. The author noted there were five lessons from Ms. Angelou’s life’s story that resonated for living a life of lasting significance. In the second installment of lessons learned from the life of Ms. Angelou, let’s consider: Lesson #2: Excellence pays big dividends Often we hear people encouraging us to follow our passions and we should do what we love; but that is only a recipe for significance if people care about what you love. On the subject of doing what you love, Maya Angelou commented: “You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love, and then do them so well that people can’t

take their eyes off you.” The crux of Angelou’s statement is to encourage everyone to strive to be the best at whatever they do. There are many places in Scripture that encourage excellence. If one fails to pursue excellence, their life may be bland and lukewarm. The quest for excellence fuels one’s fire and keeps them from drifting downstream gathering debris. The Apostle Paul notes in 2 Corinthians 8:7:

“But just as you excel in everything--in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness, and in the love we inspired in you--see that you also excel in this grace of giving.” (Berean Study Bible) The Apostle Paul encouraged the Corinthian saints and it is an encouragement to believers today that we are to abound or excel in not only what we are (our inward character) but also in what we do (our behav-

ior and/or good deeds). As one pursues excellence, the pursuit should be motivated by the right values, priorities and motives. If we lose our focus and go astray, then the pursuit of excellence can quickly become a result of our obsession with our own significance, which can be perilous and risky at best. In your pursuit of excellence, you are encouraged to trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own insight or understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge and recognize God, and God will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way] (Proverbs 3:5-6). And, beloved, you can’t beat the return on trusting God in all things – it pays big in the promise of God’s guidance, direction, amongst a host of other blessings.

Bible Scripture for the week from The Book of Psalms

A psalm of David. Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge. I said to the Lord, “You are my Master! Every good thing I have comes from you.” The godly people in the land are my true heroes! I take pleasure in them! Troubles multiply for those who chase after other gods. I will not take part in their sacrifices of blood or even speak the names of their gods. Lord, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing. You guard all that is mine. The land you have given me is a pleasant land. What a wonderful inheritance! I will bless the Lord who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me. I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety. For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave. You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever

- Psalm 16 Holy Bible, New Living Translation

Bowie and Black music (Continued from pg. 2) "He sits me at the soundboard where the sound engineer sits. Ray Leonard, who is my best friend, goes with me. We go to sit down, and it's actually funny, I spoke to the person in front of me saying, 'excuse me ma'am,'" Simpson remembers. "And Prince turns around." Simpson breaks out in a hysterical laugh, adding that what he appreciated about Bowie and Prince at the time and even still today is how unapologetically different they were. "Anyway, Prince turns around, addresses me, 'Hey Donnie,' and proceeds to invite me and Ray to a private party at Paisley Park [Prince's studio complex in Minneapolis]." It was very private; just Prince, Simpson, Leonard, Bowie and one other individual. "To get to hang with him, to get to know him and have that one-on-one time with him was a special treat for me," Simpson remembers. "He was just cool to me." Bowie resonated with people. And because of his respect for the black community, Daniel said African Americans created a safe-space for Bowie. "As a DJ, David Bowie resonates with me on an aesthetic level. His whole existence was a middle finger to gender stereotypes and roles," he said. "In order to do that you must be fearless and enjoy taking risks. I

can't grow as an artist without pushing myself whether it's in appearance or music selection." Simpson agrees and adds that Bowie's ability to be different created spaces and access. That was Bowie's biggest contribution; even bigger than the music. "He helped the world accept different. Dude was different from all of his personas," said Simpson. "And I think he really helped people who saw themselves as different accept their difference." Simpson shared an anecdote of a recent conversation with mega-producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. The discussion shifted to Lady Gaga, her extravagant costuming -- he calls it her "get up" - and a mesmerizing incident where she shattered a champagne glass on a piano while still singing and playing. "I know different. I have seen

different. And I like it," he said. "I like people who are not afraid to show themselves; I really do. And David Bowie was that. He was one who was not afraid to show himself in all the different facets of himself. I have mad respect for that, for his artistry, and for his bravery and willingness to express himself - to be himself no matter what you thought about it or him." Bowie led the way, Daniel adds. "Bowie's sonic footprint and fashion influence will echo forever because of musician's innate desire to express themselves and be free," he said. "In today's music market you can have a Lady Gaga and a Young Thug that both speak to their generation through music and fashion and push the envelope with little concern for normative thinking around gender."

The mission of Leon L. Williamson Funeral Home is to provide the highest level of dignified, personal service as we facilitate the celebration of lives and memories of loved ones.

Superintendent Driver, Bucks star Jabari Parker host attendance summit

Milwaukee Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Darienne Driver and Milwaukee Bucks forward Jabari Parker hosted an attendance summit for students and parents in MPS Monday evening, January 11, 2016. More than 375 MPS family members attended the summit held at James Madison Academic Campus. Parker joined Dr. Driver to announce a new incentive program where he will provide 40-60 tickets to every remaining Bucks home game for students with improved attendance. “Seeing Jabari Parker interact with families and brainstorm ideas to improve attendance was truly powerful," said MPS Family and Community Engagement Specialist Danielle Costello. "His commitment to our community and our kids is obvious and Milwaukee is lucky to have him.” The attendance summit is the latest in a series of family roundtables hosted by Dr.

Driver. The focus on attendance at this roundtable is tied to the district’s overall effort to improve attendance. Efforts include the launch of the “Be in School” campaign with Jabari and the Bucks, the creation of attendance liaison positions and an October gathering of students to hear their ideas on effective strategies to improve attendance. MPS’ overall attendance rate is about 90 percent, but the average for high school students is lower, creating a barrier to graduation and post-graduation success. “Being in school all day every day is a critical first step on the path to a successful life after graduation,” Dr. Driver said.

Learn about all MPS schools and programs, meet principals and apply early at the Annual MPS All-School Enrollment Fair Free backpacks for the first 250 families to enroll at January 30 event for families looking for a new school for fall or the future

Parents and students looking for a new neighborhood, specialty or charter school for the fall or in the coming years are invited to meet school principals – and get their enrollment application in early – at Milwaukee Public Schools’ Annual AllSchool Enrollment Fair. Free backpacks will be provided to the first 250 families to enroll their student at the event, which is set for Saturday, January 30 from 9 a.m. to noon at MPS’ Milwaukee High School of the Arts, 2300 W. Highland Avenue, Milwaukee 53233. The fair will allow families to fill out a Three-Choice Enrollment application before the applications open online. The Three-Choice application allows a family to select up to three schools in which they are interested for their child. Child care will be available at the fair. “Meeting a school leader in person and learning about the strong academic, extracurricular and athletic programs each school offers is one of the best ways to find the school that’s right for your child,” MPS Superintendent Dr. Darienne Driver said. “We invite families who are making their school decisions for the fall – or in future years – to join us.” Families who cannot attend the fair can still enroll starting Monday, February 1.

Families can enroll online at mpsmke.com/EnrollMPS, at any MPS school or at MPS Central Services. Families can learn more about any school by searching by name, location or program at mpsmke.com/findaschool. Applying at the fair or during the Three-Choice period gives families their best opportunity to attend their first-choice school. All ap-

plications received at the fair and during the Three-Choice Period (February 1-19, 2016) are treated equally and a random selection process will take place if there are more interested families than seats in a given school or grade level. Families receive an enrollment preference if a sibling is enrolled in the school or if it is their neighborhood school.

Enrollment applications received after February 19 are handled on a first-come, first-served basis. This year’s fair comes as MPS continues to expand access to strong programs. Expansions for the upcoming school year include: • MPS is building an addition for Fernwood Montessori School, allowing the high-performing K-8 school

in the Bay View area to accommodate the large number of early childhood students the school has enrolled in recent years as those students advance by grade level. The school has grown in recent years from about 550 students to more than 700. • Rufus King International Middle School is moving to a new location at (Continued on pg. 13)

Osteoarthritis: Is hip or knee replacement right for you? Multiple studies have shown that African Americans are less likely to receive hip or knee replacements for osteoarthritis than Hispanics or Caucasians. Additional studies have looked at why. The most common reasons being that African Americans were less likely to be familiar with joint replacement surgery, have lower expectations, more concerns about post-operative pain and recovery, and less likely to have a friend or family who have had a joint replacement. One particular study also showed that African Americans were more likely to report believing and using prayer to selftreat knee or hip pain. Here is what you need to know about osteoarthritis and when you should be expected to be offered a hip or knee replacement by your doctor.

What is osteoarthritis? Arthritis is not a single disease but is a way to refer to joint pain or joint disease. Arthritis affects nearly 50 million adults and is the most common cause of disability in the US. There are 100 types of arthritis, with osteoarthritis being the most common. Others include rheumatoid arthritis, septic arthritis and

psoriatic arthritis. Osteoarthritis, also called “wear and tear arthritis,” occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of the bones within joints gradually wears away. Although osteoarthritis can damage any joint in your body, the disorder most commonly affects joints in your hands, knees, hips and spine.

Symptoms The most common symptom is pain in your joints after repetitive movements. Other symptoms include decreased range of motion, muscle aches and pain, tenderness and difficulty moving the joint. The symptoms may be mild, moderate or severe and may stay the same for years or may progress and get worse over time. Treatment options There is no cure for osteoarthritis but staying active and maintaining a healthy weight may slow progression of the disease and help improve pain and joint function. Non-operative (meaning non-surgical) options are often tried first. These include pain medications, steroid injections, bracing and physical therapy. When is surgery warranted? When all other non-surgi-

cal options have failed over a period of time, then surgery may be warranted. Surgery may entail having a part of your knee or hip replaced (partial joint replacement) or the entire knee or hip replaced (total joint replacement). What you can do Keep a list that includes a detailed description of your symptoms (when they first started, how they affect your daily life) and what you have tried in terms of medications and/or therapy. In addition, include information about your medical problems and what medications you take. Be sure to include questions that you want to ask the doctor at your appointment. Be prepared to discuss with your doctor your expectations, the recovery, and what you should expect before and after surgery.

Trying to kick coffee? Three healthy alternatives for your morning boost As delicious and addictive as coffee is, it’s not the healthiest beverage you can grab on the go. Studies show that drinking coffee, on a regular basis, can have some serious side effects. According to Lawrence Wilson, MD, “Coffee contains some lead, cadmium, aluminum and perhaps other toxic metals… habitual use can add significant lead, according to our experience with hair mineral testing. All the toxic metals are quite harmful, so it makes little sense to add more to the body.” You might be thinking,”How else am I supposed to get my energy in the morning?” Well, fortunately for you, there are a few alternatives to coffee that are not

The partnership provides for the two schools

working together to improve student achievement, school climate and teaching and administrative practices as each school brings 200 new freshmen into the Pulaski campus this fall. • Victory School is expanding its Italian immersion program to include full immersion beginning with 4-year-old kindergarten (K4) this fall. The full immersion program will offer transportation to students citywide, excluding those living within the school’s walk zone. MPS continues to advance its eight strategic objectives to improve student outcomes focused on student achievement, effective and efficient operations and family and community engagement. The district continues to build on success including its seven high schools rated among the best in the state and nation by U.S. News and World Report and the Washington Post and its 82 schools recognized for reinforcing positive student behaviors and helping all students learn.

Take a close look at Social Security in 2016 If you're not close to retirement age, it's easy to ignore what Social Security is doing. However, some significant announcements late last year make now a very good time to pay attention. What follows is a summary of notable changes to Social Security at the start of 2016 and ways to ensure you're making the right retirement planning and claiming (http://www.consumerfinance.gov/retirement/ before-you-claim/) decisions based on what's ahead: 1. 2016 Social Security payments won't increase. In late October, Social Security (https://www.ssa.gov/ myaccount/) announced that there wasn't enough inflation in 2015 to create a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) to monthly benefits this year. Understandably, this announcement shook up recipients who look to Social Security for a significant part of their monthly income. It's only the third time payments were frozen in the past 40

years since automatic COLA adjustments began, but here's the rub – all three occasions occurred after 2010. In short, most seniors will have to live with an average monthly payment of $1,341 with married beneficiaries receiving a total of $2,212. 2. Married and divorced individuals may have to rethink the way they claim benefits. Also last October, Washington settled a federal budget battle in part by closing some notable loopholes in Social Security law that allowed certain married couples to substantially increase their benefits over time and certain divorced individuals to claim benefits from former spouses under certain circumstances. These new restrictions on so-called fileand-suspend and restricted-claim strategies go into effect this coming May. In short, if you're close to age 62 (the earliest age you can start claiming Social Security benefits) getting qualified advice has never been more

important. 3. Other COLA-related issues. When there's no costof-living adjustment, there's no change in the maximum amount of earnings subject to the Social Security tax, which will stay at $118,500 in 2016. This means earnings above that level aren't subject to the Social Security portion of the payroll tax or used to calculate retirement payouts. At the same time, the Social Security earnings limit for people who work and claim Social Security payments will stay at $15,720 in 2016 for people ages 65 and younger. Social Security beneficia-

students with extra time before graduation, it's also the season for test prep (http:// www.usnews.com/education/best-colleg es/testprep). Higher-scoring students on such achievement tests generally are in a better position for admissions or certain types of financial aid. High-school sophomores take the PSAT as a primary qualification for National Merit Scholarships, but it also gives an early indication of how students may do during their junior year on their ACT or SAT test, whichever they are encouraged to take. Get your student to check directly with the colleges of their choice to see which tests they require. Finally, the closer your teen gets to freshman year, the more specific the dates on the calendar become. For college-bound seniors, fall is the time for narrowing down college choices after visits, interviews or auditions so applications can be sent. Once acceptance letters arrive, it's time for parents and teens to evaluate financial aid packages. Bottom line: Creating a college-planning calendar can help you and your teen target desired schools, learn about money management and break down funding obstacles. Set it up as early as possible. www.milwaukeetimesnews.com

Special: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

‘I Have A Dream’ - address at The March on Washington, D.C. on August 28, 1963 I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity. But one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition. In a sense we have come to our nation’s capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of

happiness. It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check which has come back marked “insufficient funds.” But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check -- a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God’s children. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of the Negro. This sweltering summer of the Negro’s legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will

now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges. But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their pres-

“We must act now.” Thank you to all who participated and congratulations to the 2015 speech contest winners.

ence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, “When will you be satisfied?” We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro’s basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair. I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.” I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day

the state of Alabama, whose governor’s lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the South. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day. This will be the day when all of God’s children will be able to sing with a new meaning, “My country, ‘tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim’s pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring.” And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania! Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado! Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California! But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia! Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee! Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring. When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, “Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!”

The legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. By The Late Coretta Scott King Special to the Milwaukee Times Reprint from 1985, during the passage of the King Holiday bill by the U.S. Senate. We have set in motion a great celebration of freedom and justice, in honor of America’s hero and patriot, Martin Luther King, Jr. When Martin began his career, the principles of social justice for which he stood were very controversial. But by the end of his career he was a widely respected leader of international stature, who helped lead an extraordinary revolution in America’s laws and customs. Martin’s moving example of dignity in the face of threats and hatred gave the whole nation a new hero to admire and emulate. Martin knew that America’s democracy was not perfect. But he also knew that, when aroused, America’s conscience could be a powerful force for reform. His unique combination of moral leadership and practical political wisdom enlisted America’s conscience on the side of peaceful change. His memory is engraved in the hearts and minds of his fellow Americans, and it is appropriate, as the President and the Congress have said, to remember and hon-

or the values for which he stood. Each year, Martin’s national birthday celebration will rekindle in the hearts of all our people a new pride in America, a determination to make it an even greater nation. It will also spark a new appreciation for its son, who was born into a world where bigotry and racism still hold sway. But before he died, he contributed immeasurably to the human rights of all people. In my travels to the 50 states and U.S. territories as chairperson of the King Federal Holiday Commission, I find that Americans from all walks of life and every political persuasion share a common enthusiasm and excitement as we prepare to celebrate what has been called by President Reagan “A Celebration of Freedom and Justice to Unite All Our Citizens.” There is a spirit of unity and good will sweeping this land. People of all races,religions, classes, politics and stations in life are coming together and putting aside differences in a spirit of reconciliation to make Monday, January 20, 1985 “Martin’s Day,” a day of great national unity and renewed patriotism consistent with the non-violent tradition of the man we

The late Coretta Scott King prepare to honor. It was not too long ago that Martin painted a vivid picture of what an America united would look like...an America in which all children could grow up to realize their full potential. January 20, 1985 must be seen as a way to reflect that vision, a way to celebrate the life and legacy of a man with a dream for all seasons. The special recognition accorded Martin by the American people provides a unique opportunity for all Americans to reaffirm their faith in nonviolence at a time when violence in all its ugly forms seems to be a way of life. It also gives Americans a special moment to reaffirm

their support for Martin’s beloved community and for the values that distinguish our republic in this troubled world. The commission has chosen “Living the Dream” as its theme for the birthday celebration. We see “Martin’s Day” - the third Monday of each year - as: ...a day to celebrate the life and dream of Martin Luther King Jr... ...a day to reaffirm the American ideals of freedom, justice and opportunity for all... ...a day for love, not hate; for understanding, not anger; for peace, not war... ...a day for the family to share together, to reach out to relatives and friends and to mend broken relationships... ...a day when people of all races, religions, classes and stations in life put aside their differences and join in a spirit of togetherness... ...a day for our nation to pay tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr., who awakened in us the best qualities of the American spirit... ...a day for nations of the world to cease all violent actions, seek non-violent solutions and demonstrate that peace is not just a dream but a real possibility, if only for one day. We have come too far to

be discouraged or to lose hope or to stop believing in the dream. If we believe in the justice for which he died, if we embrace his dream of a community where we can all come to love and care for one another, we will strive to complete his unfinished agenda, we will make his unfinished work our own. Let us be grateful for the providence that sends among us men and women with the courage and vision to stand peacefully but unyieldingly for what is right. Let us also make this a time when we rededicate ourselves to carry on the work of justice. Martin showed how much good a single life, well led, can accomplish. Let Americans honor his memory by pledging in their own lives to do everything they can to make America a place where his dream of freedom and brotherhood and sisterhood will grow up and flourish and we can all be proud to sing with new meaning, “From every mountainside, Let freedom ring.” Coretta Scott King, widow of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was chairperson of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Federal Holiday Commission and President of The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, Inc. She died in 2006.

His father would eventually change his name in honor of the German leader of the Protestant Reformation, and it was by that name – Martin Luther King, Jr. – that the world would remember him nearly a century later. Few names in modern American history ring more powerfully than Martin Luther King’s. He remains the only person born in the 20th Century after which we celebrate a federal holiday. His name is synonymous with great speeches, with inspiring hope, and with the brutal assassination which took his life before he even reached the age of 40. His name is still invoked constantly in modern political discussions, and he arguably left a more profound, longer-lasting legacy than nearly any other American over the last centu-

ry. When you think of great historical leaders, Martin Luther King’s name constantly makes the short list. So what can we learn from Dr. King’s legacy? What knowledge can we apply to our own lives today to make the world a better place? It would be impossible to list all of them, but here are a few of the most important lessons from Dr. King’s life and legacy, as represented by some how the most powerful passages from his speeches: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness – only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate – only love can do that.” – One of Dr. King’s most well-remembered quotes is also the one perhaps most relevant to our own lives. Our political system and even our popular culture are all heavily centered around the concept of conflict and hate. There is a whole industry in entertainment and politics built around the idea of outrage – we’re supposed to get mad

Special: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Historical perspectives: Why we honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Each year a fundamental question arises. Young people especially want to know, "Why do we honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.?" The following is a brief analysis which can be duplicated and shared with schools, churches, organizations and the media. Early in our country's history, almost all black people came here as slaves. Because people in the South felt they needed cheap labor in building the land and because black people in Africa knew how to farm land like that in the South, they were taken from their homes and forced to come to America. Upon arriving in this country, they were sold to whites as slaves without rights or freedoms. In 1776, the American Colonies declared their freedom from Great Britain. In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson wrote that "all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." That is, Jefferson declared that all citizens have the rights to be free from oppression and have equal opportunities in pursuing their goals. These ideals have been called the American Dream. To best achieve these ide-

als, the people of the United States developed their government along democratic principles in which the people choose who will lead them and decide which laws should guide them. The Constitution is a document that tells how leaders are to be chosen and how laws are to be made. The laws can be changed, usually when a majority votes to do so. However, in the new government, slaves were not given the same rights as white people. They were not given the opportunity to choose their leaders, start businesses, own homes or go to school. Slaves were not allowed to lead their lives in the ways they wanted. Yet, there were many people, mostly people in the North, who wanted the slaves to be free, but there was not a majority of the people in the country who felt that way. Some states in the North had outlawed slavery, but most blacks in

the South remained slaves. Free blacks in the North had more rights than slaves, but they still did not have as many rights as white people. Freeing the slaves was a large issue in the Civil War. After that war, the slaves were finally given their freedom through amendments to the Constitution. The Thirteenth Amendment outlawed slavery in the United States, the Fourteenth Amendment gave blacks citizenship and the Fifteenth Amendment gave them the right to vote. Blacks became free citizens of the United States, but many whites were not happy with this change. They felt that blacks should not be treated as citizens equal to whites. They passed laws to keep whites and blacks apart. In 1896, the Supreme Court decided that the "separate but equal" facilities legalized in the South did not violate the 14th Amendment. Thus, blacks could not work with whites, live in the same neighborhoods or send their children to the same schools as whites. Even so, black people throughout the nation contributed to the bet-

terment of the country. Efforts to give black people their rights never stopped, but the changes were not enough. After World War II, many more people felt that new laws were needed. In 1954, the Supreme Court ruled that blacks and whites could go to the same schools, saying that "separate but equal" schools were inherently unequal. However, many people still did not want to change. It took a strong leader, a person who believed in peace and justice, to win more freedom for black Americans. Martin Luther King, Jr. was that man. Between 1955 and 1968, Martin Luther King, Jr. helped change America. He brought to the world's attention how unfairly blacks were treated. He had the help of millions of Americans, but his strong leadership and unprecedented power of speech gave people the faith and courage to keep working peacefully even when others did not. This led to new laws that ended the practice of keeping people of different backgrounds apart, making life fairer for everyone. America will always remember the work of Martin Luther King, Jr. Each year, on the third Monday in January, we celebrate his birthday. This is the first national holiday to honor an individual black American. The legacy

of Dr. King lives in each of us and we are responsible to promote, teach and live the American Dream.

Three important lessons (Continued from pg. 16) something, but that “something” is hardly productive or positive. Our world won’t get better until we stop revolving our collective existence around hate, and our collective existence won’t get better until we personally make the choice to stop the cycle of hate and try to find common ground with all people. “Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I’m not concerned about that now… I’ve seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people will get to the promised land.” – MLK said those prophetic words in a speech delivered the day before he died in a speech titled “I’ve Been To The Mountaintop.” Reading those words 55 years later, after all of the ups and downs we’ve experienced as a society, you still can feel their power to lift us up and make us hope for something better. There’s also a lesson there for all of us: leadership is sometimes as simple as Inspiring A Shared Vision. We want to be reminded that the world can be better, and sometimes it’s up to us as leaders to do the reminding. We may not have the platform of Dr. King, but all of us have the potential to lift others up. “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” – King’s most famous line was spoken over 50 years ago, but it still describes a future we have not yet attained. We still have much to learn in how we treat those different from us, whether the lines that separate us are gender, race, socioeconomic status, religion, sexual orientation, or any other countless divisions which still exist, and which motivate people to act with fear or hate. We will always be a nation of many different types of people, and those differences should be celebrated and embraced – but we can also work toward a future in which those differences no longer cause us to push away our fellow humans. Dr. King was a revolutionary leader in many respects, and next week we will take just 24 hours to celebrate his legacy. What we do after the celebration will determine our own legacy.

increasing the abuser’s ability to control a victim; the ever-present threat of gun violence makes it more difficult for victims to leave their abusers. Children are severely impacted. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Castleman that domestic violence abusers are prohibited from possessing guns regardless of whether “violent force” is an element of the underlying offense. In August 2015, Texas mother Valerie Jackson, her husband, and her six children, ages six through 13, were killed by a gun inside their home by her ex-partner, the oldest child’s father. The FBI defines a “mass murder” as an event in which four or more people are killed. By that definition the majority of “mass shootings” are cases of domestic violence and the majority of mass shooting victims are women and children. Valerie Jackson’s shooter was an ex-felon who had been arrested and charged for domestic violence against her in the past, and there was a warrant out for his arrest for a new charge of violence against her when he killed her and her entire family. He would not have been able to pass a background check to purchase the gun he used in

act of evil in the world. But maybe we could try to stop one . . .” He echoes Nobel Literature Laureate Albert Camus’ words while speaking at a Dominican monastery in 1948: “Perhaps we cannot prevent this world from being a world in which children are tortured. But we can reduce the number of tortured children.” Camus described our responsibility as human beings “if not to reduce evil, at least not to add to it” and “to refuse to consent to conditions which torture innocents.” “I continue,” he said “to struggle against this universe in which children suffer and die." And so must every one of us in our gun saturated nation which takes the life of a child or teen every 3 hours and 28 minutes, nearly 7 every day, 48 every week, and more than 2,500 a year.

This study will compare three commonly used medicines given in the emergency department for long seizures. A person whose seizure does not stop even after receiving a full dose of medicine that can stop seizures (benzodiazepines) has a long seizure. This means that doctors need to use other medicines besides benzodiazepines. Researchers do not know which of the medicines will work the best. The three common medicines are fosphenytoin, valproic acid, and levetiracetam. The study plans to learn which of the three medicines works the best to stop a seizure quickly. Normally, researchers get permission before a person can be included in a research study. A long seizure is an emergency and the doctors have to act quickly to treat a person. This means that there is little time to get permission. A person having a seizure is unconscious and cannot agree to join. In studies like this, a person’s consent before treatment is not possible. This is called an exception from informed consent for emergency circumstances. Researchers will discuss the study with the patient or family as soon as possible. This study meets the U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines for exception from informed consent under emergency circumstances. Opting out of this study: Any adult who does not wish to be enrolled in this study may opt-out by wearing an opt-out bracelet or necklace. These may be requested free of charge by calling (414) 805-6493 or emailing ESETT@mcw.edu. Any parent/ guardian of a child 17 years and younger that does not wish their child to be enrolled in this study may call (414)-805-6493 or email ESETT@mcw.edu to discuss the opt-out options.
