Alderman Wade won’t seek re-election By Steve Waring Special to The Milwaukee Times Alderman Willie C. Wade said he will not seek re-election to the Milwaukee Common Council 7th District in a press conference held December 1 at Gee’s Clippers, 4327 W. Fond du Lac Ave. He also introduced Milwaukee Common Council Supervisor Khalif Rainey, endorsing him as his successor. “I’m proud of my legacy in the 7th district,” Alderman Wade said. “It takes an experienced person to keep that momentum going forward.” Supervisor Rainey is the right person for the job, Alderman Wade added. There were just a few questions initially from the media after the brief announcement which included Supervisor Rainey thanking Alderman Wade for his service and his endorsement. In a brief one-on-one interview with The Milwaukee Times, Supervisor Rainey said the City of Milwaukee would remain “where my passion lies,” but he said public service at the county level meant less interference from state government-imposed limitations on city government.
Supervisor Rainey said he was especially eager to ensure that the Office of African American Affairs and the minority impact statement, two pieces of legislation he helped sponsor and which Supervisor Rainey said will require oversight from the Common Council if they are to succeed. When asked what he planned to do after his term expires in April 2016, Alderman Wade briefly became emotional as he said that his children had grown up “with me as a leader in the community and there were times when I wasn’t able to be there for them,” he said. “I want to dedicate time to my family before my daughter heads off to college.” As reporters began filing out, the questions started to come more rapidly. Alderman Wade said he had waited to make the announcement not to run again until now because it would save the city $100,000 that it would cost to hold a special election.

Volunteers at the fourth annual "Food for Families Phone Bank." The fourth annual “Food for Families Phone Bank” raised $103,634 to support local food pantries, through on-air and online coverage featuring news anchors, reporters and local celebrities. On Tuesday Nov. 24, 2015 and Wednesday Nov. 25, 2015, WISN 12 and Hunger Task Force teamed up for the two-day event, answering the call to help those who need it most. “As always, Southeast Wisconsin came together to take care of its community, and WISN 12 is proud to play a part in that,” said Jan Wade, president and general manager of WISN 12. “Each year we are grateful for the
tremendous outpouring of support for those in need, and this year, we have far exceeded our own expectations.” Compared to the $84,782 raised in 2014, the “Food For Families Phone Bank” experienced a 22 percent increase this year, due to inspiring donations from more than 1,000 viewers and a number of remarkable corporate contributions. WaterStone Bank was not only a phone bank sponsor, but also provided matching donations and helped in answering phone calls. In addition to their contributions, Wells Fargo Advisors also matched

$25,000 in donations. The industrial company Rexnord, the Brewers Community Foundation and local elected officials helped out by taking calls from area viewers. “Thanks to the generosity of WISN 12 and loyal viewers, Hunger Task Force raised $103,000 during the Food For Families Phone Bank. Local families had turkey plus all the trimmings this Thanksgiving. We are so very thankful for the support we receive, because without help from viewers Thanksgiving wouldn’t have been possible,” said Sherrie Tussler, executive director of Hunger Task Force.

Capitol Dr. between N. 13th and N. 17th Streets, and W. Sheridan Ave. and W. Silver Spring Dr. between N. 35th and N. 42nd Streets.

Rebuilding Our Community
Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper
By Dr. Andrew Calhoun, Ed.D. Special to the Milwaukee Times
Game on!! If you have not noticed it as of yet...we are already in the political season for 2016 and that is saying it mildly. For many it seems that we just finished the last cycle only a few months ago. And with each passing day it appears that someone is always running for some public office at the flip of a coin, drop of a hat or when an opportunity just comes available. You get the feeling real quick that something is missing in the process that people are more interested in running for or remaining in public office than getting things done for the people. I know you just can’t wait to start receiving all that promotional material including handouts, church fans and donation pledge cards. Be-
sides that, you will begin seeing ads on TV, yard signs, billboards, featured personal news stories and the debates. And let’s not forget about being invited to attend town hall meetings, listening sessions, book signings, fund raising dinners, and few special rallies to get out the vote. From what I have seen and heard already, this upcoming election season will be something for the record books. I don’t mean just in terms of how many people will be run-
ning for some kind of public office, but also in terms of how much money will be spent by each candidate. The totals will be just “staggering” and “out the roof ” for many. To some observers, the money that is going to be spent would be enough
to fund a middle size school district for an entire year or pay for a graduating high school class of 100 to attend college for four years. It will be “off the chain” and we all see it coming. However, we must remember that all elections depend on whether or not enough voters come out to cast a vote for a particular candidate or on an issue that affects them. The voter is the only person that really matters during each “political season.” It is up to voters to make sure their voices are heard on the issues. Of course we have to understand that all elections are

The most wonderful time Black Friday has come and gone. The Thanksgiving leftovers are either frozen or thrown out. The Christmas decorations have gone up and the wish lists are out. Yes, fellow Americans, it’s the wonderful time of year. The Christmas season brings out the best in everyone and it’s here. For the past 11 months people have been bogged down by negative events. From police shootings to high murder rates, the American public has been dragged through the emotional wringer. Well for the next few weeks, Americans can take a mini-vacation from the negativity and enjoy the Christmas season. It may seem corny but Christmas does bring out the best in people. Over the next few weeks people will go out of their way for others. Many people who don’t look at homeless will volunteer to feed them on Christmas day. People who cringe when strangers walk by will open doors and say hello to those same people. It’s the magic of the wonderful time of year. Christmas season helps keep behavior in line during school. Many students who are prone to cut up in class tone it down over the next few weeks. The reason being, a phone call home could mean that new phone or game won’t be under the
caulay Culkin will be home alone and looking young and innocent. Television will be rated G for a time. The Christmas season is truly a magical time of year.

tree. Nonchalant spouses will be out shopping for that usually ignored wife or husband. Disobedient children will buy gifts for their exasperated parents. This is the power of the Christmas season. There are those who say Christmas is a farce. There are plenty who argue about the true meaning of the season. I was one for years who laughed and thought the whole event childish. But even the greatest naysayer has to look at the results from Christmas. For these next few weeks people will be more jubilant and pleasant towards each other. With that in mind, aren’t the results of Christmas on society all that matters? The skeptics will say, “Crime still takes place during Christmas time.” This is true but crime is like breathing in

the USA, a necessity. There will be criminal acts that take place during the next few weeks. People will have their houses broken into and their gifts stolen. But because of the spirit of the year the crime will not bog down the populace. Watch how people respond if a family suffers a break in and their gifts are stolen. The reaction from the public will speak volumes to the magic of the season. Television will become tolerable to watch. Many shows will have a Christmas theme. You will get to see the classics that have been shown for decades. Rudolph and Frosty the Snowman will march across 80-inch screens the same way they did across 12 inch ones in the past.

The Counseling Corner By Rev. Judith T. Lester, B.Min. M.Th
Year-in-review Whew! We have reached the end of another year. We began 2015 with a focus on New Year’s resolves. Readers were reminded that New Year’s is a time, according to the American Psychological Association, for people to reflect on their past year’s behavior and promise to make positive lifestyle changes. In response, January’s articles focused on making healthy lifestyle changes. In response to your request, in July this column ran articles entitled “Healthy Living” which received enormous feedback. A series which received equivalent response were the articles run during the month of February regarding African American History Month. The old Negro Spiritual included in those articles was called: “We’ve Come A Long Way”, which, per your request, is re-run below: We've come a long way, Lord, a mighty long way, We've borne our burdens in the heat of the day, But we know the Lord has made the way, We've come a long way, Lord, a mighty long way.
For the month of June this column featured special articles honoring fatherhood. The articles were written by men who responded to the question: “What Have Been The Greatest Joys of Fatherhood.?” Due to popular demand, readers will be asked to submit articles again in 2016 responding to this question to run during the month of June. If you are interested in submitting a piece, please note the following submission requirements which will be strictly followed: ----------------------------
The Counseling Corner submission requirements: Due to space limitations, unfortunately, not all submissions can be considered. Thus, submissions will be taken on a first-come/firstserved basis. Submissions are to be typed double-spaced no more than 300 words. Submissions may be handwritten as long as it is decipherable. All submissions are subject to editing. Please include your name, phone number or email address on all submissions. No photos please. Submissions are to be sent to this writer by the deadline given at P.O. Box 121, Brookfield, WI, 53008.
--------------------------Beginning 2016 this column will have been ministering via the print media for over 15 years. Each year that goes by is a reminder that we must make the very most of our time recognizing and taking advantage of each opportunity and using it with wisdom and diligence (Ephesians 5:16, Amplified Bible). Since the inception of this column this writer has used diligence and care with every article featured in this column and makes reasonable efforts to ensure that all information presented is fair, accurate and complete. You can expect this writer to continue to take advantage of every opportunity to enlighten, inform and engage our readers each week in the coming years. Many thanks to our readership for your ideas and suggestions as well as your encouraging letters over the years. Please keep them coming. This column would not be what it is without you! As noted previously, next year readers can expect articles that will encourage reader participation. Look for
those opportunities in March 2016 for the months of May and June as we prepare to celebrate Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Articles in 2016 will also feature ways to grow spiritually and tackle a painful topic regarding marital infidelity pursuant to reader request. And yes, you have this writer’s promise not to discontinue the “awareness months” articles. This writer believes she owes it to the public to continue to raise awareness on topics that are important to our reading community. As always, this column will take a break for the balance of this month and will return the 1st week in January, 2016. “And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise” (Philippians 4:8, NLT). I Wish You All A Happy And Blessed Holiday Season And Blessings In The Coming Year! Yours Because of Calvary, The Reverend Judith T. Lester

Going harder with your workouts may reduce risk of aggressive prostate cancer Vigorous exercise, a healthy diet and not smoking may dramatically reduce a man’s risk for aggressive prostate cancer, new research suggests. Nearly half of lethal prostate cancer cases in the United States would be prevented if men over 60 followed five or more healthy habits, lead author Stacey Kenfield, an assistant professor in the urology department at University of California, San Francisco Medical Center, said in a university news release. Most cases of prostate cancer do not spread to other parts of the body and are not life-threatening. For some men, however, the disease is deadly, affecting their bones and other organs. Kenfield’s team investigated whether healthy lifestyle habits could help protect men from aggressive forms
of prostate cancer. They analyzed data from two large studies involving more than 62,000 men between 40 and 84. The men, who were cancer-free at the start, were followed for more than 20 years. Each participant received one point for each healthy habit, such as vigorous exercise, a diet rich in fatty fish or tomatoes, minimal intake of
red meat and low body mass index (BMI), a measure used to determine if someone is at a healthy weight for their height. During the study, 913 cases of deadly prostate cancer were identified. The researchers noted, however, the men who earned five to six points by working up a sweat during exercise or following healthy lifestyle hab-
its had a much lower risk for the disease — 38 percent less in one study and 68 percent lower in the other. The findings were published recently in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. “It’s interesting that vigorous activity had the highest potential impact on prevention of lethal prostate cancer,” said Kenfield, who was with Harvard Medical School when the study began. “We calculated the population-attributable risk for American men over 60 and estimated that 34 percent of lethal prostate cancer would be reduced if all men exercised to the point of sweating for at least three hours a week.” When researchers considered diet alone, they found men who had three healthy habit points were 30 percent to 46 percent less likely to develop lethal prostate cancer than the men with no points.
Meanwhile, eating at least seven servings of tomatoes each week would reduce the risk for deadly forms of prostate cancer by 15 percent, the study found. The researchers also calculated that just one serving of fatty fish weekly would lower the risk for the disease by 17 percent, and avoiding processed meat would reduce the risk by 12 percent. Since many older American men have smoked for a long time, the researchers noted that quitting smoking lowered their risk for aggressive prostate cancer by 3 percent. These are associations, however, and do not prove a direct cause-and-effect relationship. In 2015, it’s estimated that 27,540 men will die from prostate cancer, according to the American Cancer Society.
Beware of these asthma and allergy triggers this holiday season There are a number of steps people with allergies and asthma can take to deal with the challenges they may face over the holidays, an expert says. “Two-thirds of allergy sufferers have symptoms yearround, so it’s not just a matter of the first freeze hitting and your symptoms disap-
pearing,” Dr. Bryan Martin, president of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI), said in a college news release. “Even after the pollen season dies down, there are environmental triggers to deal with — things like mold, dust and pet dander. The winter holidays can bring a
whole new set of triggers,” he explained. For example, very cold, dry air can trigger asthma, experts warn. When going outside in very cold weather, people with asthma should cover their mouth and nose with a scarf or face mask, especially if they’re exercising. People with allergies and

asthma should pack their medicines if they travel for the holidays. Before you book your stay, check with the hotel to see if it offers allergy-free rooms. If you’re allergic to dust mites, bring your allergy-blocking bedding. If you need to carry injectable epinephrine, pack two injectors for your trip, according to the ACAAI. Artificial Christmas trees and holiday ornaments are likely to be covered in allergy-triggering dust. Give them a thorough cleaning before putting them up. When the holidays are over, store them in air-tight boxes, allergists suggest. If you get a real tree, be
aware that mold spores and pollen can also be brought into the house on fresh trees and greenery. In addition, some people have contact skin allergies to terpene, which is found in the sap of trees. Food allergies are another holiday concern, according to the ACAAI. If you or a family member has a food allergy, discuss it with your hosts before you attend their gatherings. You also need to check labels of pre-prepared foods that you have not eaten before. There are a number of websites that offer allergy-free recipes for holiday dishes.
Getting vaccinated each and every year is the best protection during the upcoming flu season. Even if you and your child got vaccinated the season before, and the viruses in the vaccine have not changed for the current season, it’s still an important step to take so everyone can be healthy.

THE
Movie Time By Terri Schlichenmeyer
“The Jemima Code: Two Centuries of African American Cookbooks” by Toni Tipton-Martin You woke up this morning with a craving. So is breakfast time too early to think about dinner? Is it bad to want to sneak home for lunch, just to make your favorite comfort food? No, because nothing else tastes good when you’re hankering for something specific. Your stomach won’t give up until you’ve satisfied that craving, so you might as well give in a little and read “The Jemima Code” by Toni Tipton-Martin. Though her upbringing in California was sprinkled with foods reminiscent of her family’s origins in the South, Toni Tipton-Martin says that “precious few” of her favorite foods “qualified as southern.” That made her, she says, “a casualty of the Jemima code,” which she defines as something that classifies the “character and life’s work of our nation’s black cooks as insignificant.” She set out to change that.
In many libraries, cookbooks by African American authors are lacking. “Even,” says Tipton-Martin, “the southern cookbooks were silent on the subject” so she began to specifically collect cookbooks written by black authors, containing the knowledge and recipes of black cooks. As her collection grew, so did her understanding and she began seeing how “cooking changed, and cooks changed with it.” From an obscure 1827 cookbook - the first one published by an African American author (and a man!) Tipton-Martin realized that many black cooks “existed in the culinary shadows as far as cookbook writers were concerned.” Much of their work was probably credited to white owners or employers. Technological advances in the early twentieth century altered how meals were made; science entered the picture, too, as did house-

black cooks,” and people of all races. By the 1980s, African American cookbooks were penned by football stars, gardeners, and experts alike. Says Tipton-Martin, “it was the cooks’ time to shine” although, even in today’s kitchen, “the times are not yet postracial.” There are, as I see it, three main reasons why you’d want “The Jemima Code” on your kitchen bookshelf. First, author Toni Tipton-Martin’s history is a surprising one. Reading her discoveries of cookbook subtleties and social mores alongside recipes through the years feels like opening a multi-layered gift, and her evolution of the Mammy figure is also fascinating. And those recipes she found? Though there aren’t a lot of them here, the ones that peek out through the pages are classic and easy to follow. And finally, there’s a trea-

Our History
Rosa Parks wasn’t meek, passive, or naive — and 7 other things you probably didn’t learn in school
Much of what students are taught, and much of what most Americans think they know about Parks’s activism, is wrong Sixty years ago, on December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus and was arrested. Her courageous action galvanized a yearlong community boycott and helped usher in a new chapter of the Black freedom struggle. Its is now one of the most well-known stories of the civil-rights movement—imparted to school children across the United States. Yet much of what students are taught, and much of what most Americans think they know, about Parks’s activism is wrong. Here are corrections to ten commonly circulated myths about Rosa Parks: 1. Rosa Parks wasn’t meek. Parks had a “life history of being rebellious,” as she put it. As a child, she stayed up with her grandfather as he guarded their house with his shotgun against Klan attack. She picked up a brick when a white kid threatened to punch her. When her grandmother, who worried about her “talking biggity to white folks,” reprimanded her, the young Rosa cried, “I would rather be lynched than live to be mistreated…[and] not be allowed to say ‘I don’t like it'.” In the 1930s and ’40s, Parks took part in dangerous organizing work—both with her husband, Raymond, in defense of the Scottsboro Boys and with E.D. Nixon, a Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters organizer who then became president of Montgomery’s NAACP, in seeking justice for lynching, rape, and assault victims. She hated how “a militant Negro was almost a freak of nature to [white people], many times ridiculed by others of his own group.” 2. Nor was she passive in key moments. The summer before her arrest, she had grown tired of meetings with city officials around black community concerns about bus segregation that went nowhere: “We would be

The impact of these incidents accumulated—and Montgomery’s black community was at a breaking point by December 1955. 4. Nor was it her first act of bus resistance. Montgomery’s segregated buses mandated black riders at the back, whites in the front, and a middle section in which both black and white passengers could sit (though not together)—and black people could be asked to move for white passengers. Bus drivers carried a gun. Some Montgomery bus drivers would make black people pay in the front, but then force them to get off the bus, and reboard through the back door (so they didn’t even walk by white passengers). Parks had been kicked off the bus a number of times for refusing to abide by this practice, including by the very driver, James Blake, who would have her arrested on that December evening. “Over the years I have been rebelling against second-class citizenship. It didn’t begin when I was arrested,” she said. “Some people say I was tired” when she refused the bus driver’s order to move to the back of the bus, but, as she explained in her autobiography, “The only tired I was was tired of giving.”

given some vague promises and given the run-around.” She refused to go to another meeting: “I had decided I wouldn’t go anywhere with a piece of paper in my hand asking white folks for any favors.” That December evening, when the police boarded the bus to arrest her and asked why she didn’t move, she countered, “Why do you push us around?” 3. She wasn’t the first to be arrested on the bus. A number of black Montgomerians had resisted segregation on Montgomery’s buses. When Viola White did in 1944, she was beaten and fined $10; her case was still in appeals when she passed away 10 years later. In 1950, police shot and killed Hilliard Brooks, a World War II veteran, when he boarded the bus after having a few drinks and refused to reboard from the back door—and the police were called. Witnesses rebutted the officer’s claims that he acted in self-defense, but he wasn’t prosecuted. Emboldened by the 1954 Brown ruling, the Women’s Political Council had written Montgomery’s mayor that there needed to be change on Montgomery’s buses or the community would boycott. Then on March 2, 1955, 15-year-old Claudette Colvin refused to relinquish her bus seat. When a white rider hollered at her that she had to get up, a young girl, Margaret Johnson, responded in her defense, “She ain’t got to do nothin’ but stay black and die.” Police arrested Colvin and charged her on three counts. The black community was outraged and initially mounted some resistance (Parks served as a fundraiser for Colvin’s case), but ultimately decided against a full-blown campaign on Colvin’s behalf, seeing her as too young, feisty, and emotional. (Despite popular belief, Colvin was not pregnant at the time the community decided not to pursue her

5. It wasn’t just about a seat on the bus. When Blake told her to give up her seat, Parks thought of Emmett Till, the 14-year-old boy who had been lynched in Mississippi in August, and the recent acquittal of the two men who had killed him. She thought about the many years she’d been fighting for criminal justice for black men wrongfully accused of crimes and for black women who could find no justice after being raped. She later wrote that when the bus driver said he would have her arrested, she mused, “Let us look at Jim Crow for the criminal he is and what he had done to one life multiplied millions of times over these United States.” It was not about a seat next to a white person: “I have never been what you would call just an integrationist. I know I’ve been called that…. Integrating that bus wouldn’t mean more equality. Even when there was segregation there was plenty of integration in the South, but it was for the benefit and convenience of the white person, not us.” Her aim was “to discontinue all forms of oppression.” Hearing of Parks’s arrest and her decision to pursue her case, the Women’s Political Council called for a one-day boycott the day Parks was to be arraigned in court. Buoyed by the success of that first day, the community at a mass meeting that night decided to extend the boycott. A young Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave a galvanizing speech and would emerge as the movement’s leader. A separate federal court case was filed, with Colvin as one of the plaintiffs (Parks was not). Three hundred and eightytwo days later, Montgomery’s buses were desegregated. 6. Her courage wasn’t just a one-day thing. And she loved the spirit and militancy of young people. In the 1950s, she organized the Youth Council of the Montgomery NAACP, encouraged its members to take a strong stance against segregation, and following Colvin’s arrest, made her secretary. Parks
asked Colvin to tell her story over and over to inspire others. Parks believed in youth leadership, and young people’s need to be heard and treated with dignity. So while she was deeply distraught by the Detroit uprising of July 1967—a turbulent four days sparked by a police raid of a black after-hours bar that brought out the National Guard and witnessed the deaths of 43 people, 33 of whom were black—she understood that “the establishment of white people…will antagonize and provoke violence. When the young people want to present themselves as human beings and come into their own as men, there is always something to cut them down.” When young radicals organized a People’s Tribunal around the police killings of three young black men at the Algiers Motel during the Detroit uprising (after no police were indicted and the media refused to investigate), she agreed to serve on the jury. And when SNCC helped build an independent black political party with local residents in Lowndes County, Alabama, that took the black panther as its symbol, Parks journeyed down to support them. 7. Rosa Parks was not a political carbon copy of MLK. When the Montgomery bus boycott began, Rosa Parks was 42, a seasoned activist, while Martin Luther King was 26, a new minister pastoring his first church. Parks grew up in a family that supported Marcus Garvey, began her adult political life with the Scottsboro defense alongside her husband Raymond, and spent the next decade with E.D. Nixon pushing to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist chapter. Mentored by legendary organizer Ella Baker, she was inspired by the political visions of Highlander Folk School leaders Septima Clark and Myles Horton, when she attended the adult-organizer-training school the summer before her arrest. Throughout her life, she believed in the power of organized nonviolence and the moral right of self-defense and described Malcolm X as her personal hero. 8. She wasn’t a middle-class church lady who dreamed only of heaven and the hereafter. Although Parks was demure in demeanor, the Parks family wasn’t middle class. They lived in the Cleveland Courts projects when she made her bus stand; Raymond was a barber and Rosa an assistant tailor, altering white men’s clothes at Montgomery Fair Department Store. Her bus stand plunged them into a (Continued on pg. 18)

decade of economic instability and deep poverty. In 1965, newly elected Congressman John Conyers hired her to work in his Detroit office. This stabilized the family’s situation, but they never were able to afford to own their own home. Parks was a woman of deep Christian faith, but to her, Christianity required justice and action in this world. “Faith without works is dead,” she wrote. 9. And she spent more than half her life in the North. Eight months after the boycott’s successful end, still unable to find work and facing death threats, she moved with her husband and mother to Detroit, where she lived for nearly five decades. She called it “the promised land that wasn’t.” During an interview on the 10th anniversary of the boycott, she remarked, “I can’t say we like Detroit any better than Montgomery.” She didn’t find “too much difference” between the systems of housing and school segregation, job exclusion, and policing from Montgomery to Detroit—so she set about to challenge the racial inequality of the North, alongside a growing Black Power movement. She attended the 1968 Black Power conference in Philadelphia and the 1972 Political Convention in Gary, and visited the Black Panther Party School in Oakland during the 1979–80 school year. “I’m in favor of any move to show that we are
dissatisfied,” she explained. 10. And those famous pictures of her being fingerprinted and her mugshot… well, they’re not actually from her first arrest. There was no fanfare around Parks’s bus arrest. While unsure if she would “get off the bus alive,” she didn’t imagine her stand as the prelude to something big. She wrote a colleague a few months later how “startling” the community’s reaction and boycott of the buses was to her. Over the next few months, the city tried to break the boycott. Police harassed boycott leaders, and then, the city indicted 89 of them (including Parks) on an old anti-boycott law. She and E.D Nixon presented themselves for arrest: “Are you looking for me? Well, I am here.” She was photographed being fingerprinted, and her mugshot circulated publicly. Reckoning with Rosa Parks, the lifelong rebel, moves us beyond the popular narrative of the civil rights movement’s happy ending with the passage of the Civil and Voting Rights Acts. It reminds us instead of the long and ongoing history of racial injustice in the United States and the wish Parks left us with—to keep on fighting.

Bible Scripture for the week from The Book of Psalms O Lord, why do you stand so far away? Why do you hide when I am in trouble? The wicked arrogantly hunt down the poor. Let them be caught in the evil they plan for others. For they brag about their evil desires; they praise the greedy and curse the Lord. The wicked are too proud to seek God. They seem to think that God is dead. Yet they succeed in everything they do. They do not see your punishment awaiting them. They sneer at all their enemies. They think, “Nothing bad will ever happen to us! We will be free of trouble forever!” Their mouths are full of cursing, lies, and threats. Trouble and evil are on the tips of their tongues. They lurk in ambush in the villages, waiting to murder innocent people. They are always searching for helpless victims. Like lions crouched in hiding, they wait to pounce on the helpless. Like hunters they capture the helpless and drag them away in nets. Their helpless victims are crushed; they fall beneath the strength of the wicked. The wicked think, “God isn’t watching us! He has closed his eyes and won’t even see what we do!” Arise, O Lord! Punish the wicked, O God! Do not ignore the helpless! Why do the wicked get away with despising God? They think, “God will never call us to account.” But you see the trouble and grief they cause. You take note of it and punish them. The helpless put their trust in you. You defend the orphans. Break the arms of these wicked, evil people! Go after them until the last one is destroyed. The Lord is king forever and ever! The godless nations will vanish from the land. Lord, you know the hopes of the helpless. Surely you will hear their cries and comfort them. You will bring justice to the orphans and the oppressed, so mere people can no longer terrify them. - Psalm 10 Holy Bible, New Living Translation
