Dr. MLK, Jr. School hosts '22nd Annual African American Male Teach-In' On Friday, February 26, 2016 the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., School Governance Council presented the 22nd Annual African American Male Teach-In. The event was hosted at Dr. King School, 3275 N. 3rd Street, in the school's gym. The event theme was, "We Must Restore Hope in the Village," and aimed to shape future leaders by pairing local African American male community leaders from a variety of areas with young, at-risk African American boys and girls to effectively engage them and help improve their education. The children of Dr. King School and the community need to see African American men who are in leadership positions and have used education as a tool for success. Thus, these children will be better equipped to make serious life choices down the road and become leaders in Milwaukee's Black community. Their success will determine whether Black Milwaukee thrives or survives.

During his tenure as chairman of Quarles & Brady, he grew the firm during the worst economy since the Great Depression, expanding its ranks of attorneys and adding new locations and national practice specialties. He is a champion of diversity and inclusion, and a Atty. John W. Daniels, Jr. sought-after thought leader on multiple topics. Over the butions to the legal profescourse of his career, Daniels sion on the local and national has made significant contri- level. He is the past national

and was the Milwaukee Rotary Club's 2015 Person of the Year.

"During his years as chair of the firm and as a member of the Executive Committee, John was a driving force of the firm's transformation into a model of what a 21st century legal services firm should be, and is a fierce champion of diversity and inclusion both inside and outside the legal industry," said Kimberly Leach Johnson, firm chair of Quarles & Brady. "He is immensely deserving of this honor for all he does for the firm and the community."

Black Inventors Gallery hosts Gallery-on-the-Go! at City Hall to honor achievements of great Black inventors On Thursday, February 24, 2016 the Black Inventors

Gallery took part in a nationwide effort to honor Black History Month by hosting a Gallery-on-th-Go! at Milwaukee's City Hall Rotunda. The gallery, an informative exhibit of inventions that have changed everyday lives, promotes the significant impact that African American inventors have had in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math. For example, the traffic light (pictured) so common on city streets today was first invented by Garret Augustus Morgan, an African American inventor. The gallery at City Hall is just a sample of a much larger permanent exhibit set to open to the public this summer at 3201 North 40th Street. Pictured at the event are (from left) Betty Brinn Children's Museum board president David Marcus; Black Inventors Gallery founder Peggy J. Hardy; STEM Forward executive director Rich Merkel; Black Inventors Gallery executive director Synovia Youngblood Moss; Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett; and Black Inventors Gallery board member Gail A.

Rebuilding Our Community

Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper

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

It's crunch time If you believe you have heard it or seen it all, then just wait a day or two... much more of it is on its way. With the number of contested local, state and national races this time around, things are about to get interesting, to say the least. Between now and Election Day there will be more debates about the issues, town-halls, rallies, robocalls and door-to-door campaigning.

A lot is at stake and voters are eager to hear more about what can be done about the issues that matter to them.

Even here in Milwaukee, local residents are looking for more than a canned speech or empty rhetoric; they are looking for answers. In a

broader view, people want to hear more about solutions that help the community become safer and more economically vibrant. They seek solutions to reducing the high rates of incarceration of African American men and boys; improve job skill training for employment across all career pathways, reducing poverty, shrinking the number of high school dropouts and the creation of more affordable housing options. These are all tough issues to tackle, but any solutions are better than none.

What is truly amazing about this election cycle is that it is occurring during a generation shift, from “baby boomers” leaving the work-

CHILD WATCH

force to “Millennials” joining the workforce in full force.

It is also a time period of changing demographic and when the nation as a whole is becoming more diverse.

And it is with this transition that a lot of the values of the previous generation are being questioned and changed.

These changes are not only

affecting the values of our past, but also our heritage and national identity.

For those of us who appreciate where we are in this moment of history, it helps to have the ability to relate to a new generation in ways that can only build stronger communities. For those who cannot relate to this new generation and realize that a new era has begun, it may be too late to be out front in the near future. One thing is for sure; that this new generation has come to learn quickly in that change can occur through activism and voting.

This year, the pressure to win is on and the time is running out!!!

The third reconstruction era Many of us have been thrilled by the video of 106-year-old mentor and school volunteer Mrs. Virginia McLaurin visiting the White House during a Black History Month celebration to meet — and dance with — President and Mrs. Obama. Her joy in being there and fulfilling her dream of meeting the first African American President and First Lady was infectious. Born a child of South Carolina sharecroppers in 1909, this was a day she never dreamed would come: “I didn’t think I’d ever live to see a colored president. I am so happy.”

Moments like these give us a chance to appreciate how much change a citizen like Mrs. McLaurin has seen in her lifetime. When she was born America was firmly in the grip of Jim Crow, segregation, racial violence and political disenfranchisement that characterized the decades following the initial post-Civil War promise of Reconstruction. She moved to Washington, DC in 1941, in time to see the activism of A. Philip Randolph, Bayard Rustin and others urging the federal government to desegregate our armed forces and provide more economic opportunity for African Americans. She saw burgeoning civil rights activities like these surge into a transforming movement across the South including the 1963 March on Washington in her new hometown. And she saw the Civil Rights Movement lead to significant changes —

enough to allow her to visit President and Mrs. Obama in the White House in 2016.

When we look at arcs of history like this, where are we today? Many scholars see the Civil Rights Movement as a second Reconstruction Era and a second try at rebuilding our nation into one truly committed to liberty and justice for all. But just as the progress of the first Reconstruction was followed by decades of retrenchment and reversal, many of the formidable threats millions of poor children and families of all races but especially children of color face today are very dangerous steps backwards. Unjust racial profiling and killing of Black boys and men by law enforcement officers enjoined to protect them; mass incarceration of people of color — especially Black males; massive attacks on voting rights which especially impact the poor, people of color, the elderly, disabled and the young; and resegregated and substandard schools denying millions of poor Black, Latino and Native American children basic literacy, numeracy and other skills they will need to work in our increasingly competitive globalized economy should be siren calls to wake up and fight back.

Past lessons have led some scholars and observers to believe we may be in a second post-Reconstruction Era, fighting deliberate widespread well-funded regression and backlash against progress made. But

Mrs. Virginia McLaurin Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II, the head of North Carolina’s NAACP chapter and a leader in the “Moral Mondays” movement, views this historical moment with optimism but urges vigilance. In his new book with Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, The Third Reconstruction: Moral Mondays, Fusion Politics, and the Rise of a New Justice Movement, Dr. Barber argues that the beginnings of a Third Reconstruction are underway—rooted in “fusion politics” that have changed our nation before and can do it again.

The Third Reconstruction describes how what has become the Forward Together Moral Movement was the outgrowth of several years of theological education and grassroots organizing in North Carolina that coalesced in 2013 with Moral Mondays, a nonviolent civil disobedience campaign of protests, rallies, and arrests that has been adapted in oth-

er states, including Florida, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Ohio and New York. The multifaith, multiracial movement is committed to a 14-point People’s Agenda including education, health care, the economy and reforming the justice and electoral systems, and is supported by over 150 coalition partners. The book describes the historical impact that can occur when people are willing to form strong coalitions for change.

The coalition in North Carolina includes progressive people of faith, union members, immigrants, Appalachian workers and many more and may be a model for others committed to racial and economic justice.

When Dr. Barber spoke to a group of young leaders at a Children’s Defense Fund event last June, he explained why he believes multiracial, multifaith, nonviolent coalitions are essential right now: “So what many extremists are trying to do is abort the third reconstruction. That’s why they are telling America this myth . . . You want a great America? Deny public education, deny health care, deny living wages, deny labor rights. You really, really want a great America? Deny immigrant rights. Deny LGBTQ rights. Deny women’s rights.

You really want a great America? Deny the right to vote. You really want a great America? Turn everybody against everybody. Pit Muslims against Christians and women against men. Call the

president everything you can but a child of God . . . And if you really, really, really, really want a great America, make sure that people can get a gun quicker than they can vote. . . . And I stopped by to tell you that in this moment we better know who we are and where we are, and that in this moment of a possible third reconstruction we are called to speak truth in times like these . . . Dr. King said: ‘The dispossessed of this nation—the poor, both white and Negro—live in a cruelly unjust society. They must organize a revolution against that injustice, not against the lives of their fellow citizens, but against the structures through which the society is refusing to deal with the issues of injustice.’ And I want you to know it’s your time, and we can learn from the past.”

It is our time. We must all learn from the past to end another era of backlash and backsliding and keep moving forward together.

Marian Wright Edelman is President of the Children's Defense Fund whose Leave No Child Behind® mission is to ensure every child a Healthy Start, a Head Start, a Fair Start, a Safe Start and a Moral Start in life and successful passage to adulthood with the help of caring families and communities.

The Counseling Corner

By Rev. Judith T. Lester, B.Min. M.Th

African American women who changed history (Week 4)

Spotlight: Angela Y. Davis (1944 - ____) Political Activist, Author, Professor and Communist Party Member Angela Yvonne Davis was born in Birmingham, Alabama, on January 26, 1944, the eldest of four children.

When Davis was four years old, the family moved out of the Birmingham projects and bought a large wooden house in a nearby neighborhood.

Other black families soon followed. Incensed white neighbors drew a dividing

line between the white and black sections and began trying to drive the black families out by bombing their homes.

The area soon was nicknamed Dynamite Hill. All of Birmingham was segregated during Davis' childhood.

Davis later wrote that although the black schools she attended were much poorer than the white schools in Birmingham, her studies of black historical and contemporary figures such as Frederick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, and Harriet Tubman helped her develop a strong positive identification with black history.

At age 15, Davis decided to leave Birmingham and went to New York City where she lived with a white family headed by an Episcopalian minister. Davis attended Elisabeth Irwin High School where she learned about socialism. Later Davis studied with the German philosopher Herbert Marcuse. The following year, she received a scholarship to study philosophy in Frankfurt, Germany.

During the two years Davis spent in Germany, the black liberation and black power

movements were emerging in the U.S. The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense had been formed in Oakland to protect the black community from police brutality. In the summer of 1967, Davis decided to return home to join these movements. In Los Angeles, Davis worked with various academic and community organizations to build a coalition to address issues of concern to the African American community. During this period, Davis was heavily criticized by black male activists for doing what they considered to be men's work. Women should not assume leadership roles, they claimed, but should educate children and should support men so that they could direct the struggle for black liberation.

Later Davis was charged with murder, imprisoned and finally acquitted of all charges. In 2003, in addition to writing and traveling for speaking engagements, Davis continued her work as tenured professor at the University of California at Santa Cruz.

Beloved, African Ameri-

can women have been active in the black history story since they were brought to this country as slaves in the 17th century. They have remained committed in the struggle to attain liberation from the oppressive structures of race, gender, and class over the centuries, using different forms of resistance to receive better education and rights. African American women have come a long way; yet there’s still a ways to go. There continue to be challenges, (e.g. racial discrimination, gender bias, stereotypes about femininity, wage inequality, etc.) that the African American woman must still overcome. That brings to mind the song: “We Shall Overcome” which the Library of Congress calls “the most powerful song of the 20th century”, and which was a staple for civil rights protests and for that matter any kind of social justice movement. As you sing/read the words of this song printed on this page, reflect on the many accomplishments made by African American women over the years and how African American wom-

CHURCH LISTINGS ARE IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER: ABIDING FAITH FELLOWSHIP - BETHESDA BAPTIST CHURCH

en have changed history; as well as the many reasons why this song has brought strength, and encouragement to so many for so many years: We Shall Overcome We Shall Overcome, We Shall Overcome Someday; Oh, Deep In My Heart, I Do Believe, We Shall Overcome Someday.

Rufus King cheer team takes home state championship Congratulations to Milwaukee Public Schools’ Rufus King International High School cheer team! It earned the Division 1 Cheer Dance state championship at the Wisconsin Association of Cheer/Pom Coaches (WACPC) State Cheer Championships Saturday, February 28, 2016.

Rufus King became the first MPS school to win the WACPC state championship.

The team edged out 2014 and 2015 champions Oregon and Appleton West high schools to take home the title.

It was the team’s third trip to the state championships since 2011. The Rufus King cheer team’s previous appearances at the state championships were in the AllGirl Small Division in 2011 and Small Co-Ed Division in 2012.

This is the first time King has ever placed at the

WACPC state competition.

The team is coached by MPS’ Rufus King alumnae Veronica Bohannon and Robin Anderson.

Central to the district’s plan to increase academic achievement as part of its eight big ideas is the redesign of the MPS experience to include expansion of fine arts, athletic programs and the opportunity for all students to participate in student clubs, associations and organization that support their interests and increase their connection with their school and community.

These activities offer opportunities for students to learn the values of teamwork, individual and group responsibility, physical strength and endurance, competition, diPhoto Courtesy of MPS versity, and a sense of culture and community. Extracurricular activities provide lessons learned in the classroom, offering students the opportunity to apply academic skills a channel for reinforcing the in a real-world context, and are considered part of a well-rounded education.

More than 3,400 Milwaukee Public Schools students received their second round of free books to start their own home libraries and build their reading skills through the My Very Own Library (MVOL) literacy initiative which is dedicated to putting books into the hands of children in need.

During the all-school assembly Tuesday, March 1, 2016, children at Riley Elementary School heard children’s author Troy Cummings read his book Giddy Up, Daddy! and had an opportunity to ask him questions.

Milwaukee is one of six communities selected to take part in the MVOL program, which is supported by the Feeley Family Foundation, Scholastic Book

Fairs, Milwaukee Public Schools and the United Way of Greater Milwaukee & Waukesha County.

United Way and MPS have partnered to match the $250,000 grant award, dollar for dollar.

The program kicked off on December 9 and throughout this school year, the My Very Own Library program will distribute 34,200 books to students in 10 MPS schools: Kluge; Auer Avenue School; Brown Street Academy; Hopkins Lloyd Community School; Jackson Early Childhood and Elementary School; Kagel School; Lancaster School; James Whitcomb Riley School; Townsend Street School; and Clement J.

Intensive high blood pressure treatment could harm people with diabetes It’s known that many African Americans living with diabetes often deal with high blood pressure. This puts the community at an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases.

Now, according to a new study, diabetes patients taking medication for high blood pressure may be at high risk for heart attack, UPI.com reported.

The study conducted by Swedish researchers found that diabetic patients with a systolic blood pressure below 140, prior to any antihypertensive drug treatment, had a higher chance of having a heart attack.

A systolic pressure above 140 and diastolic pressure above 90 is typically consid-

betes than whites, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health.

Therefore, with diabetes and high blood pressure being linked in the Black community, the Swedish study is concerning for Blacks.

According to the study, effects of high blood pressure medication depend on the blood pressure level of the patient before treatment. If the systolic blood pressure before treatment was highered high blood pressure.

Also, higher rates of obe- er than 140, a decreased risk More than 40 percent of sity and diabetes among Af- of death, stroke and heart Blacks have high blood pres- rican Americans put us at attack was associated with sure in America, according to higher risk for high blood treatment. the American Heart Associa- pressure and heart diseases.

“At the same time, it is important to remember that blood pressure lowering treatment is crucial for the majority of people with diabetes whose blood pressure measures above 140,” Mattias Brunström, a doctoral student at the Department of Public Health and Clinical Medicine at Umeå University, said in a press release.

The study was based on patients with type-2 diabetes and previous antihypertensive treatment. Researchers don’t have a conclusion on patients with type-1 diabetes or patients with diabetes and normal blood pressure levels.

The researchers hope their study will influence international treatment guidelines.

Seven diabetes management plan essentials It’s important to craft a diabetes management plan with your endocrinologist or other health specialists to ensure you’re doing what’s necessary to control your blood glucose levels.

It’s also equally important to actually stick with the plan.

Diabetes management relies mostly on discipline – sticking to healthy dietary and exercise routines.

More than a million people are diagnosed with diabetes yearly. And thousands die annually from diabetes-related complications.

Here are seven essentials to include in your diabetes management plan to stay healthy: 1. Make well-balanced meals.

Every meal should include a variety of starches, fruits and vegetables, proteins and fats. When it comes to carbohydrates, however, some are

better than others. Fruits, for example, are low in carbs but contain fiber that helps stabilize your blood sugar levels.

Make sure to limit fatty and salty foods.

2. Count carbohydrates.

Carbs have the most impact on your blood sugar levels. Why? The body breaks down digestible carbs into sugar. The sugar then enters the blood stream. This is important in type 2 diabetes – a condition when the body can’t produce enough insulin or properly use the insulin.

If you’re taking insulin before or after meals, counting carbs in your food is crucial to making sure you get the right dose of insulin.

3. Schedule meals and medications.

You could become hypoglycemic by eating too little food in proportion to your diabetes medicine. That’s

exercising.

6. Control blood pressure and cholesterol.

High blood pressure and cholesterol levels can lead to heart disease, which is a common complication of diabetes. Ask your doctor how you can manage these levels and include them in your diabetes plan.

when your blood sugar gets too low. On the other hand, too much food can lead to hyperglycemia – when the blood sugar level gets too high. Work with your doctor to find the right balance.

4. Check your feet.

People living with diabetes can develop nerve problems that can get worse over time.

Each day, examine your feet

for scabs, blisters, wounds and swelling.

5. Exercise regularly.

Generally, adults should workout at least 30 minutes a day. Check on your blood sugar levels before, during and after exercising if you’re on medication that lowers blood sugar. Adjust your insulin dose as needed when

7. Drink alcohol safely.

If you’re taking insulin or other diabetes medicine, drinking alcohol on an empty stomach is bad. Eat a meal before going out for an alcoholic beverage, or drink alcohol while eating to prevent your blood sugar level from dropping. Also, keep in mind that light beers and dry wines have fewer calories and carbs than other alcohol drinks.

This could play a factor in your carb count for the day.

Get rid of car clutter for better mental wellness Everyone has that one friend who’s in denial about how cluttered their car is.

Their front seat is filled with office must-haves and the back seat looks similar to a waste hazard.

If you have to make room for passengers every time it’s your turn to carpool, chances are it’s you. If your friends “jokingly” tell you that you need to clean out your car, or give you a gift card to a car detailer for your birthday, you may be a clutter lover.

Here are five reasons to give your car a little TLC for a stress-free commute.

1. Actin’ brand new Think about how excited you were the day you bought your brand new car. Now, would that experience have been different if it were given to you full of clutter? A part of that experience had a lot to do with that “new car smell” that you just couldn’t get enough of and wanted to last forever. But, over time, that smell of achievement was masked by less desirable www.milwaukeetimesnews.com

fragrances and clutter. Cleaning out your car can recreate that same feeling of achievement and add a positive boost to your morning commute.

2. Get rid of emotional baggage According to an article from the Denver Post on the psychology of clutter, professional organizers and psychologists often refer clients to one another. That’s because clutter is often the sign of a deeper unresolved issue. In many cases, clutter can be the outward effect of internal issues like depression, unexplainable fatigue or stress.

While gearing your emotions toward clutter provides a distraction from the real issue, it can also make matters

worse by adding to your reason for frustration. Decluttering your car will remove that distraction and allow you to focus on the real issue.

According to professional organizer and New York Times

bestselling author Regina Leeds, the internal pain that creates the clutter, and the avoidance that is achieved through the clutter, is only part of the psychological puzzle.

3. Make more time Do you ever feel as if there isn’t enough time in the day? That may be because you spend too much time looking for something that’s hidden beneath clutter. Now, there are a few people who are able to function and find their belongings, no matter how disorganized they are. But they are the rare exception. Knowing where your keys, phone, or an old receipt saves time, which can give you a headstart on your commute. Eva Selhub, M.D.

explains, “At the end of the day, being organized is about having more time for yourself, and enabling you to live a more balanced life.”

4. It’s therapeutic After you clean out the clutter, the air fresheners you use to mask the smell of old food and dirty gym bags will actually work. Not only that, choosing a calming scent can improve your mood and decrease stress. Pamela Dalton, Ph.D., M.P.H., a researcher at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, tells EatingWell, “The part of the brain that processes odors is very close to the [part that houses] emotions and memories.

Choosing a scent that’s tied to a positive memory can help you breathe more deeply, lower your blood pressure and heart rate, causing more relaxation. Choosing a scent like lavender can help lower anxiety. Peppermint and lemon are also great options as they aid in improving concentration.

By Nathaniel Sillin Director of Visa’s financial education programs

Keeping kids' sports costs under control Most parents put countless miles on the car driving kids back and forth from various practices and games throughout elementary and secondary school.

As for the actual dollars behind all that driving and purchasing of uniforms, equipment, lessons and various activity fees, the numbers are pretty eye-opening.

A 2014 study by the Utah State University's Families in Sport Lab (http://www. usufamiliesinsportlab.com) shows that the average annual family financial investment in youth sports came out to $2,292.42, or 1.84 percent of that family's gross annual income.

Other research done within the program indicates that many parents spend much more – some in excess of 10 percent of gross annual income.

Whether that figure sounds low or high depends on your child's chosen sport and the number of years your child participates in it.

Whether your child's interest in sports is temporary MCTS R2.pdf or a long-termT commitment,

it's not only important to plan and budget what you're spending but to find ways to save. Here are some steps to begin: Link up with other parents. Whether it's after-school or weekend soccer, hockey or baseball, your first source of intelligence is with parents who already have kids playing the sport.

Discuss everything from the best program for your child overall to individual costs and fees associated with play – and don't forget to ask them how they've kept their budget in line.

Schedule for the best discounts. Don't miss any 1opportunities 1/15/16 4:29 for PM sales on

merchandise or discounts on training and activity fees.

Paying early on merchandise, sports camp or pre-season activity fees can save significant money over time. Above all, avoid late registration fees on all sports and activities.

Make sure your child's health insurance is adequate. Depending on what sport your child plays, you may end up buying additional coverage beyond what your family health insurance allows. It takes virtually no time for a night or two in the hospital to run into tens of thousands of dollars, so take every step to make sure your child has the right coverage.

Some health insurers may

sell special sports coverage for minors, but if your child is playing an organized sport within a school system or league, they may have their own insurance requirements before they allow your child to play. There may be other coverage options as well –run those options by your qualified financial experts or fellow parents who are insuring their children against sports injuries.

Buy used. Whether it's equipment or uniforms, see if there are safe options to buy used. Auction sites may provide some solutions while many communities known for particular sports may have used equipment stores that can cut your bills extensively. If your child isn't destined for the pros, buying used makes a lot of sense – why buy full price if at some point their interest wanes?

Buy multiple sizes and neutral colors and styles.

If you've got a growing child who is likely to maintain interest in a particular sport over several seasons, stock up on clothing in different

sizes and go for neutral colors and styles that allow for gender-neutral hand-medowns.

Negotiate shared transportation and group fees when possible. Again, in partnership with other parents or your school system, see if there are cheaper ways to travel, buy gear and find play and practice space. Always be on the lookout for cheaper options and set up a network either by email or social media where there's a free flow of spending tips and discounts that might come in handy. As for lessons, try the classroom approach. If your child wants to improve in a sport, work with other parents to hire an instructor who will do group lessons that will assure a lower cost per family.

Bottom line: Even if your child doesn't grow up with the natural skill of a Manning brother or a Williams sister, it's possible to introducing them to youth athletics without ruining your family finances.

Special: Women's History Month

UR HISTORY

AN EXPLORATION OF OUR LIVES AND LEGACY

Seven of the most unrecognized women in Black History Every February, in recognition of Black History Month, we’re reintroduced to influential people in our history who have left marks in their respective industries. These people were great. Their courage surpassed their fear and they held steadfast in their fight for justice and equality for the human race.

Yet, while we’re constantly reminded of the Dr. Martin Luther Kings, Harriet Tubmans, Malcolms, and Rosa Parkses of the past, there are many other black leaders that often go unrecognized.

Their paths were just as difficult and their fights just as courageous.

So as Black History Month comes to a close, we would like to acknowledge seven of the least recognized women in black history. Some you may be familiar with by name, but not aware of their stories. Others you will be introduced to for the first time.

These women paved the way for other women and blacks in general.

Check out our list of influential black women who may have missed the mainstream recognition, but nevertheless played a pivotal role in our history.

Ella Baker

While we’re constantly reminded of the civil rights leaders who worked in front, those who were behind the scenes often go unrecognized. Ella Baker is one of those people. An active civil rights leader in the 1930s, Ms. Baker fought for civil rights for five decades, working alongside W.E.B Dubois, Thurgood Marshall, and Martin Luther King, Jr. She even mentored well-known civil rights activist, Rosa Parks.

Ella Baker is quoted as saying, “You didn’t see me on television; you didn’t see news stories about me. The kind of role that I tried to play was to pick up pieces or put together pieces out of which I hoped organization might come. My theory is, strong people don’t need strong leaders.” www.milwaukeetimesnews.com

Diane Nash

educator in Charleston, Clark worked with the NAACP to gather petitions allowing blacks to serve as principals in Charleston schools. Their signed petitions resulted in the first black principal in Charleston. Clark also worked tirelessly to teach literacy to black adults. In 1979, President Jimmy Carter awarded her a Living Legacy Award in 1979. Her second autobiography, Ready from Within: Septima Clark and A leader and strategist of the Civil Rights Movement, won the student wing of the Civ- the American Book Award. il Rights Movement, Diane Nash was a member of the Fannie Lou Hamer infamous Freedom Riders.

She also helped found the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and the Selma Voting Rights Committee campaign, which helped blacks in the South get to vote and have political power.

Raised in Chicago, Nash initially wanted to become a nun as a result of her Catholic upbringing. Also known for her beauty, she would later become runner-up for Miss Illinois.

Before that, Bates and her husband started their own newspaper in 1941 called the Arkansas State Press. The paper became a voice for civil rights even before the nationally recognized movement.

Bates worked tirelessly until her death in 1999. After moving to Washington, DC in the 1960s, she served on the Democratic National Committee and also served in the administration of President Lyndon B. Johnson, working her magic on anti-poverty programs. In her home state of Arkansas, it has been established that the third Monday in February is ‘George Washington’s Birthday and Daisy Gatson Bates Day,” an official state holiday.

Anna Arnold Hedgemen

A civil rights leader, politician, and writer, Anna Arnold Hedgemen was also the first African American student at Hamline University, a Methodist college in Minnesota. After college she became a teacher. During her tenure as a teacher, Hedgemen witnessed segregation and decided to fight for its end.

After holding a position as assistant dean of women at Howard University in 1946, Hedgemen later moved to New York and became the

first African American woman to hold a mayoral cabinet position in the history of the state.

Hedgemen, who died in 1990, is the author of The Trumpet Sounds (1964), The Gift of Chaos (1977) and many more articles for numerous organizations.

Dorothy Height

While the name Dorothy Height is recognizable, many of her accomplishments are not. Height, who died in 2010 at the age of 98, was a social rights activist, administrator, and educator.

After earning her bachelor’s and master’s degrees at New York University, Height later became active in fighting against social injustices. She was the president of the National Council of Negro Women for 40 years, and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1994, and the Congressional Gold Medal in 2004.

Also during the height of the Civil Rights Movement, Height organized “Wednesdays in Mississippi” which brought together black and white women from the North and South to engage in dialogue about relevant social issues.

Dorothy Height is quoted as saying “I want to be remembered as someone who used herself and anything she could touch to work for justice and freedom…I want to be remembered as one who tried,”a motto she lived by until her death.

Daisy Bates

Known as the “Grandmother of the American Civil Rights Movement,” Septima Poinsette Clark was an educator and civil rights activist who played a major role in the voting rights of African Americans.

“The Firebrand and the First Lady” by Patricia Bell-Scott You know your own mind.

After thinking things through, you have your opinions and while you’re willing to listen to what others say, you’re also willing to defend what you believe in. And, as in the new book “The Firebrand and the First Lady”

by Patricia Bell-Scott, your friends don’t necessarily have to agree with you.

Eleanor Roosevelt’s Camp Tera, nestled near New York’s Hudson River, was initially meant to be a temporary, leg-up place for Depression-era women who were destitute and totally without resources. Though she was young, educated, and married, Pauli Murray was there because of ill health.

Recovery-time aside, Murray’s tenure at Camp Tera was beneficial: a friend had told her that Roosevelt an-

swered all correspondence, and Murray took that to heart. In 1938, a few years after she was kicked out of Camp Tera for “disrespecting the first lady,” she wrote a protest letter to Roosevelt, requesting intercession in FDR’s stance on anti-lynching laws. Activism was Murray’s passion and the answer she got wasn’t what she’d wanted but it did, as promised, come from Roosevelt.

Murray was born in 1910, the feisty granddaughter of a mulatto slave whose stories of injustice she grew up hearing. Murray lost her mother when she was just three; a few years later, her father was institutionalized, then murdered; and her brother was lobotomized.

She, herself, had health problems and was often severely underweight; during one of

It took awhile for Murray to tell Roosevelt all that.

Before she did, and because of that first protest note, the two corresponded for years in letters that offered guidance, outrage, and rebuttal. The women didn’t always agree, but they always seemed to attempt to understand one another’s take on issues. Murray supported Roosevelt in her widowhood.

Roosevelt encouraged Murray in her activism.

It was a support that Murray imagined she felt long after Mrs. Roosevelt’s death.

I would not, under the broadest of terms, call “The Firebrand and the First Lady” a pleasure read.

Bell-Scott goes deep into the politics and work of both Roosevelt and Murray (more the latter than the former) and that can be very dry. It’s informative - Bell-Scott tells a story that’s been largely hidden for decades, about a woman who left her mark on social issues in many ways but it’s far from lively. Adding more details of Murray’s personal life might’ve helped; that’s what I was hungriest for, but didn’t get enough of.

I think this is an important work of history and definitely worth reading but you’ll want to be in the mood for it, particularly if you usually like lots of energy in your stories. her hospitalizations, she fiIf you’re a scholar or historinally admitted that she was That’s not to say that this an reading “The Firebrand and attracted to women, which book isn’t a pleasure – it’s just the First Lady,” though, the was then considered to be a not something you’d pick up pace is something you probmental health issue. to relax with.

Host Chris Rock did have much more pressing issues to protest. Even now, in the midst of the Flint water crisis and police brutality, many would argue that a few nominations at an award show are largely irrelevant. We can recognize that while people of color aren't

necessarily dying from not getting more opportunities in the film industry, the lack of opportunity is symptomatic of institutional racism as a whole.

So, now that Hollywood's biggest night is over, what have we learned? And where do we go from here? The fact that the Oscars made somewhat of an effort to acknowledge its whiteness is certainly a sign of progress, as are the initiatives the Academy's taken to diversify its members.

But the white producers, directors, casting agents and

writers in the Hollywood and Highland Center auditorium audience on Oscar night, who laughed with awkward enthusiasm at Chris Rock's punchlines need to also be called out and held accountable in the same way as the Academy. These white industry movers and shakers have to realize that #OscarsSoWhite is really #HollywoodSoWhite, and the question of diversity and inclusion isn't just a trending topic that will die out after one night of self-aware jokes. Oscars night is over, but we still have work to do.

Last Sunday's 88th annual Academy Awards was a testament to Hollywood's special talent for dismissing its shortcomings even as it acknowledges them.

The awards show tried to toe a tricky line -- celebrating the night's overwhelmingly white nominees, while also calling itself and Hollywood at-large out for yet another year of snubbing filmmakers and actors of color.

The show did this largely through host Chris Rock, whose opening monologue was a series of insightful comments about Hollywood's diversity problem mixed with off-color observations about Hollywood sexism and digs at Jada Pinkett Smith.

But if the Academy Awards was any indication of the overall problem with Hollywood, it's that the conversation was too focused on black and white. Much of the diversity talk was on the lack of black representation at the Oscars, with little mention of Latinos, Asians and other non-black people of color.

It took Sacha Baron Cohen coming out in character to present an award as Ali G (from "The Ali G Show") for there to even be a mention on the Oscar stage about the other people of color needing representation in Hollywood, and even then that came in the form of a quip about "dem hard-working little yellow people wiv tiny dongs... minions."

t may sound contrary to your healthy eating plan, but the human body actually needs some types of fat for heart and brain health.

One common source is cooking oil, such as olive oil.

Of the cooking oils most commonly used in North America, such as olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil and various vegetable oils, olive oil contains the most monounsaturated fat, which is widely recognized for its potential role in reducing the risk of coronary heart disease. In fact, beginning in 2016, olive oils will display the American Heart Association’s Heart Check-Mark* to alert consumers about olive oil’s heart-healthy benefits.
