President Barack Obama visits Milwaukee to congratulate the city's success in the Healthy Communities Challenge President Barack Obama paid a visit to Milwaukee on Thursday, March 3, 2016. President Obama appeared at the Bruce Guadalupe Community School in order to congratulate the city of Milwaukee on winning the "Healthy Communities Challenge." The "Challenge" was a competition issued by the White House among 20 communities across the U.S. that had high numbers or percentages of Marketplace-eligible uninsured. Under the leadership of Mayor Tom Barrett, County Executive Chris Abele, and a number of community based organizations and initiatives, about 38,000 people in the Milwaukee area selected a plan through the Health Insurance Marketplace, putting Milwaukee in first place in the competition. Together with returning consumers, about 89,000 individuals and families in Milwaukee had insurance through the Marketplace in 2016. President Obama also met with families and individuals who have had, or would have had, a difficult time finding affordable health insurance or any insurance at all if not for the Affordable Care Act.

St. Patrick’s Day Parade returns to Downtown Milwaukee Saturday, March 12th
Did you know that 53206 is characterized as one of the most poverty stricken zip codes in the nation, and is considered the worse place to raise a black male? It takes an entire village of community members to effectively change our current social and economic situation. Let's start by determining who our elected officials are and if he or she is qualified to serve as our leaders. Access to voting registration will also be available for all community members. Join Amani United and the Building Neighborhood capacity Program (BNCP), a key program of the White House Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative (NRI), at a candidates forum on Saturday, April 2, 2016. The forum will take place at North Division High School, 1011 W Center St Milwaukee, WI 53206, from 10:00 a.m. - 1:00
p.m. (Refreshments served afterwards). Join them as they challenge the mayoral, aldermanic and county executive candidates with the hard questions concerning unemployment, vacant lots, violence and a variety of issues that plague 53206. This is an opportunity to have a voice and to equip ourselves with the knowledge necessary to make an informed decision, as we work for/move toward racial and economic equity.
Week of Irish entertainment planned The Shamrock Club of Wisconsin’s 50th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade will make its return to downtown Milwaukee on Saturday, March 12, 2016 at noon. The parade steps off on Wisconsin Avenue at Old World Third Street and will wind its way through the streets of downtown Milwaukee. Building on a successful partnership, the Shamrock Club of Wisconsin and the Westown Association, along with presenting sponsor Miller Lite, are collaborating on Wisconsin’s oldest and largest St. Patrick’s Day celebration. Although the Shamrock Club of Wisconsin is celebrating its 50th anniversary of producing the parade, the event dates back to 1843. It predates the incorporation of the State of Wisconsin and the City of Milwaukee. Milwaukee’s parade is the sixth oldest in the nation. This year’s parade will feature more than 140 units including Irish dance groups, pipe and drum corps and local celebrities and dignitaries. The Friends of St. Patrick, in partnership with the Hunger Task Force, will collect non-perishable food donations during the parade. Volunteers will walk the parade route with grocery carts collecting the donated food items. Along with the parade, the Westown Association has planned a week of Irish entertainment and celebrations.

Our Next Generation is an after school enrichment and learning program. About 20 volunteers from Saint John’s participate in the twice-a-week program. On Mondays, youth visit St. John’s and on Tuesdays the adults travel to Westside to assist the children with homework during the school calendar year.

Rebuilding Our Community The pressure is on!!! And it keeps on building as the political world that we thought we once knew is now standing on its collective head. This election cycle certainly has a lot of people scratching their heads, gasping for air and even seeking out counseling to deal with what they are hearing, seeing and experiencing. With each passing day, many keep on saying this is not real, unprecedented, it will not last for long, but to their dismay... this “political circus” train keeps on making its way down the track. This train has it all – clowns, big money, backdrops, insiders, spin doctors, pushbacks, walk backs, fact checkers, the outrageous and the insane. Not

only is this train affecting the way the race for the White House is being viewed, it is also affecting countless state and local races as well. Truly the circus has come to town. What is also making the 2016 elections so interesting has been the emergence of a new level of deep seated prejudice, racism and personal agendas. In the 1975 movie Network, news anchor Howard Beale declares, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore.” In this movie, people everywhere go and open their windows and repeat the same catch-phrase. Then they rushed to the streets to air out their grievances. It does not take Howard long to come to realize that the system co-opts both social

We are raising our voices to be heard, taking a stand and marching to a new drummer to reflect why Black Lives Matters, to reduce gun violence, bring back livable wage jobs, keep Plan Parenthood services for all women, provide clean water to drink and to hold people accountable.

Now that we have decided to embrace the fire and burn up, we will rise stronger. The day is coming where young men won’t have to be told to pull their pants up. The day is coming where young women won’t have to be judged by how much Brazilian weave they can buy. Our most talented people won’t have to dribble a ball or be mis-educated. We won’t judge who we love by paper with old white men’s faces on it. The day is coming where Black people will look at each other and see their greatest asset. In conclusion, my fellow Black Oppressed, the day
of the planet has afforded us. We will shake off the special education label the Bantu education system has placed on our children. We will stop making excuses, “They're picking on us because we are Black.” Of course they are, so we're moving on. We will see the reality of our situation

notes. You have children who are in schools that teach them against themselves. You have spouses who you claim to love and they you, but convenience is the only commonality. You are living the American dream because you have a high credit score and the debt to prove it. My fellow Blacks, I’m here to tell you there can be more to life than the created misery in the Oppressed States. I feel your pain. It takes a mighty big person to look into the mirror and realize you have been played for a fool. My fellow Blacks, I’m telling you today that looking into the mirror isn’t that bad. It’s true our men and women have been reduced to the status of clown and harlot. It’s true that the States of Oppression have become strong off of our ignorance. But I’m here to say the time of the Oppressed Black is over.

The State of the Union address usually takes place in January. The speech is delivered by the President of the USA. The speech details the administration's view of the nation and planned legislation. For the next few paragraphs I will be the President of The Black States of Oppression. My fellow statesmen I will open by saying, “We have fallen deep into an abyss of decay.” My Black people, or African American if you choose, we are on the point of total annihilation. I say this because of the total disregard we have for each other and ourselves. Our plight in the Black States of Oppression is one that we have willingly allowed to be created for us. In most cases we have formed the barriers of our own prison. Yes my fellow Blacks, we have participated in our own degradation. Our journey, I won’t say plight, because we will shake off the mental rust and regain our stature on the planet. The journey we have partaken of has to be rethought. We have to view our fall from grace like the life of the mythical phoenix. Using this example, as a people we are at the burning stage of the phoenix. This may seem bad, my fellow Blacks, but it’s not. All we have to do is burn completely up and from the ashes we will rise.

The Counseling Corner
By Rev. Judith T. Lester, B.Min. M.Th
Countdown to the Glorious Resurrection! (Week 1) This year Resurrection Sunday (Easter Sunday) will be celebrated on March 27, 2016. Easter Sunday is the Christian holiday in which we celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ! As this unique countdown begins, each week this column will stop at a significant Station of the Cross (also known as Via Dolorosa) and explain its meaning. The Stations of the Cross represents certain scenes in the Passion of the Christ and is a reminder of the humble manner in which Jesus was willing to set aside any privilege of deity in order to provide a path to salvation through His sacrifice. Note there are several widely accepted versions describing those final hours, one being biblical and others being more traditional accounts of events in Jesus’ final hours. This column will present the Scriptural Stations of the Cross. It is this writer’s prayer that you will join me this month as we countdown to the Glorious Resurrection!
1st Station of the Cross: Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane Luke 22:39-46 It was there in the Garden of Gethsemane that the Father revealed to Jesus the full scope of the “cup” that Jesus was to drink. The “cup” represents the symbol of the terrible punishment that was awaiting Jesus. The Pulpit Commentary notes, in this supreme hour, just before the Passion really began, to the Crucifixion and all the horrors which preceded it and accompanied it - to the treason of Judas; the denial of Peter; the desertion of the apostles; the cruel, relentless enmity of the priests and rulers; the heartless abandonment of the people; the insults; the scourging; and then the shameful and agonizing lingering death which was to close the Passion; and, more dreadful than all, the reason why Jesus was there in Gethsemane; why Jesus was to drink the dreadful “cup” of suffering – and that was for the sins of humankind! To drink this “cup” of suffering, the Redeemer
“cup” of agony. Beloved, Jesus consumed the “cup” and continued on the path of sacrifice, service and suffering with the Cross looming just ahead, to give His life as a ransom for many. (Matthew 20:28). Next Week: Jesus Before Pilate --------------------------
for a moment shrank back, and asked the Father if the Cross was the only means of gaining the salvation of the souls of unnumbered millions. Could not God in God’s unlimited power find another way of reconciliation? And yet beneath this awful agony, laid the desire that the Father's will should be done. The prayer of Jesus was made and answered. It was not the Father's will that the “cup” should pass. Jesus’ prayer was answered by the gift of strength - strength from heaven being given to enable the Son to drink the

Cousins Subs and Milwaukee Bucks team-up to 'Block Out Hunger'
Photos by Steve Waring
Cousins Subs and the Milwaukee Bucks kicked off a month-long food drive on March 1 in which those who donate three non-perishable food items at any Wisconsin-based Cousins Subs franchise will receive a free sub offer and Bucks ticket offer. Donations will be distributed to more than 40 Wisconsin food pantries. In addition, for every blocked shot by the Bucks during the season, Cousins will make a donation to the Hunger Task Force
up to $10,000 to support emergency food supplies at pantries. In the photos, Cousins Subs and Milwaukee Bucks representatives sorting food at the Hunger Task Force office at 201 S. Hawley Ct.

Milwaukee celebrates International Women's Day On Sunday, March 6, 2016, Milwaukee joined women from all across the globe to celebrate International Women's Day. This free celebrations was hosted at the Hyatt Regency Center, 333 W. Kilbourn Ave., in downtown Milwaukee. The event was coordinated by a collaborative of organizations whose joint mission is to educate, empower, and inspire women for the greater good of the community. The theme for this year's International Women's Day event was "Pledge for Parity." In 2015 the World Economic Forum predicted that at the current pace of progress for women , the gender gap wouldn't close entirely until 2133. That is up from 2014's Photo by Yvonne Kemp prediction of 2095 for global gender parity. Therefore 2016 is being recognized as the year of "Pledging for Parity," and highlights how each of us can be a leader within our own spheres of influence and commit to take pragmatic action to accelerate gender parity. This year's event drew more than 400 attendees, who came and saw the diverse community of Milwaukee women and their supporters, crossing ethnic groups and religious affiliations to celebrate women everywhere. Cultural groups presented displays, dance and music, and guest speakers shared inspiring stories. Many of the presenters also wore cultural attire, and there was culturally themed food and refreshments served.

Healing Black mothers: Whether pregnant or postpartum get screened for depression If you’re pregnant or have recently given birth, you should be screened for depression, a new U.S. Preventative Task Force recommendation says. Depression during pregnancy and postpartum is real — even if it isn’t a popular topic in the Black community. It is a dangerous condition that the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says affects between 14-23 percent women at some point in their pregnancy. It may be brought on by many factors such as the stress of the pregnancy itself or even a relapse of past depression, but it often goes undiagnosed and can be mistaken for hormonal imbalance. Every woman should be screened during this time when depression can affect her child, too. Screening, the recommendation says, reduces depression symptoms in mother and child because it gives the mother time to set up a needed support system. Tamera Mowry-Housley, host of “The Real,” is one star who has openly shared her history of depression. When the actress had her first child, she says she was able to avoid postpartum depression through preparation.
“I was so worried that I was going to get it because I have experienced depression before, and let me just tell you that it is no fun at all (obviously),” Mowry-Housely said in a 2013 blog post. “It’s a very scary situation to go through, and I was especially worried about going through it again after having Aden. Luckily, I didn’t get it – but, I did do enough research to feel like I would be prepared if I did.” When Nicole Watson, a mother of two, started crying uncontrollably after her second birth, she knew something was wrong. The licensed clinical social worker had a history of miscarriages so when her second child had complications, the experience left her in a state
of post-traumatic stress — one that she luckily noticed because of her clinical background. “I definitely think that they should screen during pregnancy because if you have a history of miscarriages, having a successful pregnancy can be really hard because you’re really worried: Is the baby okay? Did I make it today? Did the baby kick today? Having had a miscarriage, all of those things are very present.” Although a depression screening should be done by a medical professional, here are some ways to alleviate stress and anxiety before and after childbirth. Before giving birth If you are diagnosed with
depression while pregnant, your doctor will likely try to avoid medication in less severe cases to protect the fetus, but there are still some good practices to implement: 1. Change up your diet. Cutting out caffeine, sugar, processed carbohydrates and artificial sweeteners can positively affect your mood. 2. Try acupuncture. Acupuncture can reduce depression symptoms when antidepressants aren’t safe, according to a study by researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine. 3. Supplement with mercury-free fish oil. Omega-3 fatty acids, specifically EPA and DHA, already add to a baby’s growth and development, but adding fish oil supplements to your prenatal care can also decrease depression symptoms. Just make sure it’s mercury-free. After giving birth Depression is often treated with psychotherapy and if needed, antidepressants after you’re no longer pregnant. But, there are some good practices to implement into your post-pregnancy routine: 1. Get physical. Exercise is a natural antidepressant. It releases your natural feel-good chemicals such as endorphins and se-
rotonin, which stabilize your mood and lessen depression symptoms. Going outside for a walk with your baby or popping in a workout DVD during his or her naptime can help. 2. Schedule time for yourself. Although it’s easier to say than it is to actually do it, set aside some time for yourself to be alone. Seek whatever resources you’ll need to ensure that it happens often by asking family and friends. Getting a babysitter for a weekly Monday night yoga session or having dad take over at the same time every night while you refresh can make a difference in your mood and stress level. 3. Lean on someone. When it comes to postpartum depression, you’re not alone. Up to 19 percent of women reported suffering from postpartum after giving birth, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and that doesn’t include the women who suffer without seeking help. Aside from discussing your symptoms with family, friends, and your doctor, consider joining support groups or online forums to connect with other women who understand exactly how you are feeling.
Thirteen things to do if you are chronically ill Just because you’re cooped up somewhere due to your chronic illness or pain does not mean that life is over. Actually, it could mean a rebirth into something new , a new purpose or an even more exciting path. It may not seem like that now, but in order to get there you’ve got to start living again. Here are a few ways to get going, no matter what your condition is. Subscribe to Netflix or Hulu to watch a season of a TV series that you had always wanted to see. You could also watch old movies or re-watch some of your favorite movies. It’s a very minimal cost for weeks and weeks of entertainment.

Do something BIG – like really big. Think of a project or a bucket list item you have never done and do it. Not just the little simple stuff either. Thinking beyond your current reality often rejuvenates you and pushes you further to even accomplishing it! Read a book – Reading a book can literally take you on a journey. You can have instant access if you have a smart phone or tablet, download the Kindle or iBooks app. There are lots of free books you can download. Sometimes you even have the option to listen to the book or you can find books
on CD for those times you would rather listen than read. Do something for someone else (just because) – nothing brings a bigger smile on other people’s faces than when they receive something or get something done for them without expecting anything in return. So maybe pay for someone’s lunch in line behind you. Send a get well letter to a random person at the hospital. Create a gift basket for an overworked nurse. Whatever it is, do it for someone else. You’ll get a smile too. Open up a Pinterest account and start pinning away. Pinterest allows you to create collections of your favorite ideas on different boards. We love Pinterest! Do something new – if pain is limiting you in some area(s), try something new like adult coloring books, sewing, painting, photography, singing, playing an instrument, learn a new language, etc.
Create a playlist for your go-to music or if you already have one, add music to your playlist. Create a few playlists to go with your mood, maybe adding an inspirational list for those days you need a pick me up. Amazon Prime Music has a free 30 day trial going on and they have a wide variety of music. Call an old friend or a family member you haven’t spoken with for a while and catch up with them. If you don’t want to call them write an email, send a 'thinking of you card,' or a letter to them. Even if you don’t think they want to hear from you, nine times out of ten, they do. Sit outside for a while, get some fresh air and some sunshine. Being cooped up inside can only do so much. Research has shown that many people need to just get outside and breath natural air from time to time. Also the healing power of the sun can re-energize you too. Try a new recipe – There are tons of recipes online, anything from desserts to main dishes. Create online photo albums of all your digital prints with Shutterfly.com, Snapfish.com, or any oth-
er online photo service. These can be shipped right to your house. I have used Walgreen’s photo. They offer a ton of photo options and they seem to always have online coupons/codes which makes it very inexpensive and the quality is great. Write it all out – One great form of therapy in many different conditions is writing. It’s both theraputic mentally and physically. If you don’t feel like writing about what you are going through, feel free to use your creative energy and make up a story or two. Contact your favorite celebrity – no seriously, you should! It may take a little research, but those celebrities you may have or had a crush on are reachable if you have enough patience. From the President to your favorite comedian, find their contact information online and by calling a few places and send them a letter and/or email. It’ll be fun to get a response back, wouldn’t it? Although we may not be able to do all the things we used to, we can still find enjoyable activities to do when chronically ill or with a chronic pain condition. The possibilities are endless, you will just need to find hobbies that appeal to you and then cater them to fit your illness or pain level.

Fourteen easy spring cleaning tips for your computer
That’s right. It's Spring, which means Spring Cleaning. Set aside the brushes and mops. Grab a liter of soda and get a comfortable chair. Put on your problem-solving hat, and get started. The goal: To make your computer faster, more efficient, and more reliable for all the work you’ll be doing to wrap up the rest of the year. Here’s what you need to do: • Make sure your firewall is working. Windows comes with one built in. Maybe Mac does too. Leave it active. It’s under Control Panel>Administrative Tools. Sometimes, they seem to turn off by themselves (I have no idea why). Check to be sure it is active. • Defrag your computer. To quote Windows, Fragmentation makes your hard disk do extra work that can slow down your computer. Removable storage devices such as USBs can also become fragmented. Disk Defragmenter rearranges fragmented data so your disks and drives can work more
Documents files and get rid of those you don't need anymore. It's intimidating, like a file cabinet that hasn't been opened in months-or years and is covered with dust, even spider webs. Do it, though. If you don’t, every time you search, the computer must finger through all those unused and worthless files. It doesn’t understand the difference between ‘unused’ and ‘important’.

Five spring cleaning safety tips for senior citizens Does your kitchen look like a display ad for gadgets and counter-top appliances? Does all of the excess furniture lying around your living space look like it should be in a yard sale? If you answered “yes” or even a reluctant “no”, then it’s time to freshen up your home. Spring is the season of renewal, so get caught up in the fever and throw out the junk and re-organize your space! For seniors citizens and their caregivers, these five spring cleaning tips are for safety first. 1. Check the medicine cabinet Are medications labeled and stored in their proper containers? Do you have old prescription drugs mixed in with the new? These common practices in homes pose potentially dangerous health hazards. Whereas some medications still retain their potency after expiration dates, many do not and should be disposed of. Old liquid antibiotics, drugs comprised of organic ingredients and those requiring refrigeration should be safely discarded. Be sure to store medications in a cool, dark, dry place; the bathroom does not fit that category. A better place is an airtight plastic container on a shelf in your closet. 2. Clean up clutter Trips and falls are likely to happen when you accumu-
guisher and emergency kit Periodically check your smoke alarm system and carbon monoxide detectors; run a test to ensure batteries for detectors are functional. Every home should have at least two handheld fire extinguishers (one in the kitchen for sure). Check the expiration date and remind yourself to monitor the device every once in a while. Emergency kits should late too much “stuff ”. Reduce the risk by removing unnecessary and obstructive items (including furniture) from your regular walking path and place them in storage. Make maintaining a clear walkway in every room of the house or apartment a top priority. And either tape carpet edges or throw rugs to the floor or get rid of them entirely. In the kitchen, remove infrequently used appliances off the counter, organize cabinets, create front row spaces for frequently use items, and clear out the refrigerator and pantry of stale food.

General contents may include: a flashlight and spare batteries, thermometer, Band-Aids, scissors, tape, triple antibiotic ointment, wound care dressings, allergy and digestive medications, protein bars, a current medication list and names and phone number of family or friends to contact list in an emergency.
If you reside in an assisted living community, be sure you understand how the emergency response system works. Just like when you were living in a neighborhood, look out for others and know who to go to for help.
4. Never try to move heavy objects or furniture on your own For seniors with reduced strength or mobility challenges, doing household chores may seem like a monumental task. Never try to move furniture or heavy objects on your own. Don’t stand on a chair or ladder to clean hard to reach spots or change light 3. Have an emergency bulbs.

Nellie Weddle’s 80th Birthday Celebration With NORI’s Community Heroes’ Recognition Banquet $50 Plate Donation
Nellie Weddle, founder of Nellie’s Outreach Resource lnitiative (NORI) is the woman who became involved with the community through the NBA Pro-Am Men’s Basketball League and the YouthAm Boy’s Basketball Program in the 1980s and 1990s. In 1990, Nellie became involved with the Neighborhood Family Initiative (NFI). Ford Foundation provided grants to community foundations in Detroit, MI, Hanford, CT, Memphis, TN and Milwaukee,WI to assemble a staff collaborative board in a neighborhood community of their choosing. The late Sarah Anne Ford (not related to the Fords) was the program coordinator for the Milwaukee Project. For over six years in the 90s, Nellie was an active volunteer with the Neighborhood Leadership Committee. NFl provided her the skills and understanding of the community development process through classes of NFI’s Leadership Workshop by Jan Smith, Learning Your Community conducted by Dan Folkman and Kalyani Rai and Investing In Harambee (Partnership Building Program) conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Project in Social Investing. Inspired by what she had learned and seeing the possibilities of how one person can make a diflerence, Nellie’s Outreach Resource Initiative (NORI) was created in 1994. Nellie considered NORI a spin-off project of NFI because of the affiliation. The NORI/Youth Employment Program-Model 1999 was created to improve the communication between the Milwaukee Central City and the “quick service” restaurant industry. This was a successful partnership venture with McDonald’s Owner/Operator Sherman Claypool, with a $40,000 grant funded by Helen Bader Foundation. Because of the successful venture, Helen Bader Foundation chose to further their assistance by helping NORI to secure 501(c)(3) status. The Greater Milwaukee Foundation’s Donors Anita B. Steinman Fund and I.A. Dinerstein Fund made it possible to assist NORI with office space.

First-ever Globalfest Tour brings Carnival to Wilson Center
Eclectic line-up features Emeline Michel, Brushy One String, and Casuarina As the dark days of winter give way to spring, global music lovers throughout the Greater Milwaukee area will have a chance to celebrate “fusions both geographical and temporal” (The New York Times) with the first North American tour of globalFEST: Creole Carnival at Brookfield’s Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts (Wilson Center) on Saturday, Mar. 19, at 8:00 p.m. With the 2016 international globalFEST line-up, Wilson Center audiences will experience a no-holdsbarred soiree where magic and religious fervor intersect, featuring the reigning queen of Haitian song, Emeline Michel, Rio’s innovative samba master Casuarina, and Jamaica’s one-stringed guitar virtuoso Brushy One String. A complimentary pre-show event beginning at 7:00 p.m. in the Wilson Center’s Kuttemperoor Grand Hall will include performances from Panadanza Dance Company and Wisconsin Conservatory of Music’s Samba la Vida drum group. Tickets for globalFEST range from $42$73 and may be purchased through the Wilson Center Box Office at 262-781-9250 or online at wilsoncenter. com. Proclaimed by the Haitian Times an “all-time favorite artist,” Michel combines traditional Haitian rhythms and acoustic jazz with social, political, and inspirational messages, in spirited songs that capture the reverence and gratitude for each moment. Her warm voice, captivating live performances, and moving compositions have made her one of the leading ladies of a unique wave of Haitian, emphasizing a broad palette of musical styles, including Haitian compas, twoubadou, and rara. Born a dozen years ago in Lapa, a hip yet gritty bohemian Rio neighborhood, Casuarina is part of a samba renaissance that has spread like wildfire in recent years. In addition to their own compositions, the five-piece member group creates original and sophisticated arrangements of classics, often drawing on the work and spirit of chorinho and of MPB, Brazil’s wildly creative popular music. Rural Jamaican musician Brushy One String (born Andrew Chin) has a seemingly innate ability to inspire even casual listeners—including millions of people who have watched and shared Brushy’s videos on YouTube. The veteran musician evokes the sweetness of soul singers and the grit and wit of Delta bluesmen, all woven together with a Jamaican pulse and

Over the past decade, globalFEST has become one of the most dynamic global music platforms in North America. What started in New York as a creatively curated bright spot for global music lovers has grown into an international brand, building audiences for world music with stages at SXSW, Bonnaroo, and beyond.

globalFest, in the Wall Street Journal. "So we also wanted to make a positive stand to support international cultural exchange and a more global perspective.” Partnering with CAMI Music for this first tour across North America, Creole Carnival honors the roots of African musical currents, crossed with a fusion of sounds from the Americas, and revolving around Carnival, the pre-Lent festival celebrated globally that is everyone’s favorite excuse for a party. From Brazil— the superpower of celebration— to Haiti and Jamaica, each country has its own rich traditions for music, dancing, costumes, and cutting loose. GlobalFest: Creole Carnival will be presented as part of the Wilson Center’s 2015-2016 Performing Arts Series, which is sponsored by Krause Funeral Homes & Cremation Services, Enterforce, and Godfrey & Kahn S.C.

Thursday, March 10: The all-black 54th Massachusetts Infantry was created by Governor John A. Andrew.in 1863. During their first combat engagement in July 1863 they were ordered to capture a fort guarding the harbor in Charleston, S.C. Although unsuccessful in capturing the fort, the heroism and discipline shown by the troops despite suffering severe casualties won over many skeptics in the North who did not believe that blacks were intellectually capable of serving in combat. Their bravery also inspired many other blacks to enlist. In 1989, the 54th Massachusetts Infantry story was portrayed in an Academy Award winning film, “Glory.” Friday, March 11: “A Raisin in the Sun,” the first Broadway play written by a black woman opened at the Barrymore Theater on this date with Sidney Poitier and Claudia McNeil in the starring roles. The drama by Lorraine Hansberry ran for 530 performances and received the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award. Saturday, March 12: The Savoy Ballroom opened in Harlem in 1926. It swiftly became the most popular dance venue in Harlem, and many of the jazz dance crazes of the 1920s and 1930s originated there. The ballroom was the center for the development of ‘lindyhopping’. During its 32-year existence, the Savoy represented a remarkably successful example of an interracial cultural meeting place, and embodiment of wide scale acceptance of black urban culture by whites in the 1930’s and 1940’s. Sunday, March 13: Rose Fortune was born into slavery in the British Colony of Virginia in 1774. During the American Revolution her family supported the British and after the war the family fled to Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, Canada as part of the Black Loyalist migration when Rose was 10 years old. In 1825 she started her own business, carting luggage between the ferry docks and nearby homes and hotels. Rose was later entrusted with safeguarding property and maintaining order on the wharves and warehouses of Annapolis Royal, acting as the town’s waterfront police officer. Rose Fortune died on February 20, 1864. The business she founded was continued by her grandson-in-law Albert Lewis as the Lewis Transfer Company. It remained in business until 1980. Monday, March 14: Record producer, conductor, arranger, composer, musician, television producer, film producer, instrumentalist, magazine founder, entertainment company executive, and humanitarian Quincy Jones was born in 1933. In 1968, Jones and his songwriting partner Bob Russell became the first African Americans to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song: “The Eyes of Love.” That same year, Jones was the first African American to be nominated twice within the same year for an Academy Award, as he was also nominated for his work on the musical score for the film In Cold Blood (1967). Jones was the producer, with Michael Jackson, of Jackson’s albums Off the Wall (1979), Thriller (1982), and Bad (1987). In 1985, Jones wrote the score for the Steven Spielberg film adaptation of the Pulitzer-prize winning novel, The Color Purple. He, is one of only four composers to have scored a Spielberg theatrical film. After the 1985 American Music Awards ceremony, Jones used his influence to draw most of the major American recording artists of the day into a studio to record the song “We Are the World” to raise money for the victims of Ethiopia’s famine. Jones’ social activism began in the 1960s with his support of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He is one of the founders of the Institute for Black American Music (IBAM), whose events aim to raise enough funds for the creation of a national library of African-American art and music. Jones is also one of the founders of the Black Arts Festival in his hometown of Chicago. In 2013 Jones was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as the winner, alongside Lou Adler, of the Ahmet Ertegun Award. Tuesday, March 15: Author Harriet E. Wilson was born in New Hampshire in 1825. She is considered to be the first female African American novelist, as well as the first African American of any gender to publish a novel on the North American continent. Her novel Our Nig, or Sketches from the Life of a Free Black was published anonymously in 1859 in Boston. In the preface to the book she said that she had written the novel because as a widow, she could not make enough money as a dressmaker to support herself and her infant son who died six months after the book was published. The scholar Henry Louis Gates, Jr. rediscovered Our Nig in 1982 and documented it as the first novel by an African American to be published in the United States. His discovery and the novel gained national attention.
