Life Enhancement Supportive Services provides free pre- and postnatal care The best counselors, caregivers and case managers are those who have seen the ‘other side’, according to Life Enhancement Supportive Services Director Tonyetta L. Ross.

Ross is very candid about her past which includes illegal drug use and incarceration. She has been drug free since October 4, 2008.

“In order for me to change my life, I had to change the person that created that life,” Ross said when asked what caused her to turn her life around. “I was miserable doing what I loved the most and that was using drugs… I stayed in treatment for four months working diligently on becoming a better person and here I stand seven years later.”

Life Enhancement Supportive Services, the organization that Ross founded and leads, offers free in-house, pre- and postnatal supportive services to help new mothers. The organization offers a variety of services including helping new mothers and

Life Enhancement Supportive Services Director Tonyetta L. Ross their babies gain access to medical, social, educational and other services related to their pregnancy; and to continuing assistance with care after the baby is born,

according to information available on a website maintained by the organization.

The program is available for women who may be high risk for adverse pregnancy

outcomes. Services are available until the child’s seventh birthday.

“I’ve been on the receiving end of care by the state,” Ross said. “These women have many needs including community advocacy and education. I’ve taken from this community in every conceivable way. I feel I have to give back. Unfortunately we are limited by the resources we have.”

Ross said donations of disposable diapers are especially appreciated as she tries to supply all of her clients with a month’s supply at a time, but virtually any item for infants–from clothes, formula, shampoo, soap and volunteer support–is gratefully received. She said meeting in homes helps build strong rapport with clients and helps provide a better understanding of how to support the family.

“Becoming a mother changes you,” Ross said.

“Not everyone realizes that at the same time. If a child gets good prenatal care and

returns to a dysfunctional home, that is a strong indicator of a family that will be in crisis. Our organization wants to serve as a bridge to community wellness where families develop the skills they need to thrive.”

Ross knows personally how illegal drug use can consume virtually all of a person’s waking hours, leaving little time to care for vulnerable newborn infants. After she became drug free, Ross earned a bachelor of science and a master’s degree in counseling from Springfield College of Human Services in Milwaukee. She said she is optimistic that Life Enhancement Supportive Services will be accredited as an Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse (AODA)/mental health outpatient and day treatment provider soon.

President Obama to Howard University graduates: “Be confident in your blackness” In his final year in office, President Barack Obama has been doing a lot of what people hadn’t expected him to do. From hosting the largest African dance symposium in the White House, to meeting with Black Lives Matter activists, to changing the face of the $20 Bill to a Black woman… Let’s be honest: there have been many “Black” things our first Black president has done in his final 365 days.

And his commencement speech to Howard University’s class of 2016, was no different. He addressed the historically Black university students with a message that addressed race and the future of this nation.

“Be confident in your heritage. Be confident in your blackness,” President Obama told a crowd of 15,000 gathered at Washington, D.C.’s Howard University, one of the nation’s leading historically black colleges.

Blackness, he said, had “no litmus test for authenticity,” pointing to his own conflicting critics that have questioned whether he was “too black” or “not black enough.”

“Create your own style, set your own standard of beauty, embrace your own sexuality,”

“Graduates, each of us is here only because someone else faced down the challenges for us. We’re only who we are because someone struggled and sacrificed for us. So when your journey seems too hard or when you run into

President Barack Obama (Photo courtesy of the White House) he added. “Because you’re a black person — doing whatever it is that you’re doing — that makes it a black thing!”

“Or,” the president continued, “as my daughters tell me all the time: ‘You be you, Daddy'.”

The President went on to give kudos to the incredible university. “Howard is the home to many firsts,” the President said, “Including the first Black Nobel Peace Prize and the first Black Supreme Court Judge. But it was at Howard that they made sure that those ‘firsts’ wouldn’t be the last.”

“We’re CEOs,” he said.

“We’re mayors, representatives. President of the United States.” Still, he acknowledged “racism persists and…

inequality persists” with the achievement gap in schools and the “justice gap” in jails.

“You have to go through life with more than just a passion for change — you have to have strategy,” the President said, pushing “not just awareness but action, not just hashtags but votes.”

“Change,” he added, “requires more than righteous anger.”

President Obama wound down his speech by quoting a phrase from award-winning author James Baldwin.

“James Baldwin once said ‘Nothing everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can change unless it is faced'.”

Then he gave a charge to the graduates.

a chorus of cynics who say you can’t do something, that you should stop believing or you should just settle…Then you may find useful a little phrase that I found handy these last eight years: YES. WE. CAN.”

Rebuilding Our Community

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

Changing the conversation Even with this political season now in full stride, a number of issues have been put on the back burner or just pushed aside for a later time. However, through the eyes of many of us, life as we have always experienced continues unabated.

This includes gun violence, drug abuse, homelessness and high unemployment in the inner city. The issues and challenges most communities were facing before this election season started continue to march forward without anything being done to address them or, at best, slow things down.

Even with so much attention being given to the political process and who is running for office, some neighborhoods have been taking action and doing something to improve their

relationships with local law enforcement.

One such initiative has been the ‘Police and Resident Listening Circles’ that are being held in the Harambee, Metcalfe Park and Amani neighborhoods. These listening circles are being facilitated by the Zeidler Center with funding from the Greater Milwaukee Foundation’s Racial Equality and Inclusion Grant.

A design team consisting of residents, youth, police

and Zeidler Center facilitators began planning the spring listening circles during the winter of 2015. A total of three (3) listening circles are being held this spring and three additional ones are scheduled for this coming fall. Each listening circle session includes local residents, youth as well police officers who are assigned from the local police precinct and who cover those neighborhoods.

During each listening circle

CHILD WATCH

session a number of questions are asked of all participants to which to respond.

At the end of each listening circle, participants are asked to fill out an evaluation and make any additional comments.

These listening circles are designed with three goals, including: (1) listen deeply to each other and speak from the heart; (2) build relationships and trust and; (3) brainstorm ways to strengthen and support the community together. At the heart and beyond these goals, other initiatives, recommendations, and ideas will be created by the residents and officers brainstorming together, and be led by the participants themselves. So far, so good and this is without media coverage. Here is a “bright idea;” instead of us focusing

on what people are saying outside of our communities, we just need to sit down and listen to those who live, work, play and worship in our neighborhoods. What do you think? I am listening!

Think about mothers who have dedicat- know firsthand how import- ronment and safe communi- it: no one would construct a ed our lives to serving chil- ant a stable home, a positive ties are for a child’s healthy building without first laying a strong foundation. Yet too many children in New York City and in our nation are born into poverty and begin their lives without the most basic supports they need.

In New York City, over 150,000 children under five are poor. Last year, nearly 20,000 of these children slept in homeless shelters – enough to fill Madison Square Garden. From the moment they’re born, children in poverty face an uphill struggle to survive, thrive and learn with so many odds stacked against them. These children are born with tremendous potential and if we want to help them, we must act immediately.

There is no time in life when the brain develops more rapidly than in the first years—at an astonishing rate of 700-1,000 new neural connections every second. Each connection helps establish Loans and the architecture of the brain Lines of Credit and is a precursor for functions including language, social skills, and problem solving that are crucial for a Addie Collins child’s success in school and www.addiecollins.com life.

teract with a child—to read, giggle, sing and babble with them—we’re not only building a brain, we are building the foundation for our collective future.

But preventable poverty and toxic stress can impede and derail a child’s early brain development.

The school-readiness gap impacting poor children is big and deep and its implications lasting. A Children’s Defense Fund report, Ending Child Poverty Now, points to several studies including one that found by age four high-income children had heard 30 million more words than poor children. Another found poor preschoolers had already fallen behind those from wealthier families, and were less able to recognize letters, count to twenty, or write their names. By the time they entered kindergarten, children from poor families were six months or more behind in reading and math skills.

In addition to quality interactions with parents, grandparents and other caregivers, young children need access to a full continuum of high quality early learning opportunities so that every child, regardless of circumstance of birth or lottery of geography, is ready for school (Continued on pg. 9)

The Counseling Corner

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

A celebration of Motherhood (Part 2) “Lo, children are a heritage of the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is his reward.”

- Psalm 127:3 This month the Counseling Corner is sharing responses from mothers to the question: “What Have Been Your Greatest Joys of Motherhood?” When sending out the call for submissions, little did this writer expect the vast amount of responses. However, due to the limitations of space, all of the responses could not be published. This month the entries submitted have been selected on a firstcome/first serve basis. All of the entries, however, were down to earth and certainly inspiring and many thanks to all of you. This week, this writer is honored to share Sabrina Lee’s submission regarding her joys of motherhood. It’s truly a gem and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I have.

"If you would have asked me 20 years ago if I wanted to have a child/be a mother the answer would have been a flat out NO! Needless to say I have been a mom for 12 years now and wouldn't

change it for the world! Becoming a mom is one of the best things that has ever happened to me, and I thank GOD for my little blessing everyday. The first time I saw my little person's face I was like, 'wow' I helped create that beautiful small human being. Who knew you could have such unconditional love for someone you just met.

From his first smile, his first tooth, his first bath, to his frist time feeding himself; these were all moments of joy that increased my love for being a mom.

"There is nothing I enjoy more than being a mom, it is the greatest feeling in the

world. Being a mom or a parent for that matter is the hardest but most fulfilling job to have. It is the only job that I look forward to being 'employee of the month' every month. There are so many positive things that come from being a mother such as altering your lifestyle, changing the way you live and the way you deal with people in your life. The things that use to upset you don't upset you any more; some of the people you use to hang out with you can't hang out with any more because they don't understand you have someone that depends on you now. Someone who looks

up to you and expects you to make responsible adult decisions. I went from being a selfish hothead to a rational, multi-tasking, unconditionally loving person who thinks before acting. So I guess you can say becoming a mom shifted my life in a positive manner.

"It warms my heart when I hear my child utter the words mom...mama.... or mommy no matter how many unnecessary times he does so. The word “mom” always puts a smile on my face. Children are the biggest blessing you'll ever receive because they love unconditionally and there's nothing you can do about it. All the hugs, kisses, and “I love you's” I receive on a daily basis can instantly uplift my mood. The joys of being a mom shifted my nurturing gears into overdrive, almost to a level unimaginable. To have the honor of someone calling you mom you have to know you are more than just that; you are a provider, a teacher, a protector, and a unconditionally nurturing soul. " I never knew how much I would enjoy taking care of

(Continued from pg. 3) and has a fair chance to reach their fullest potential.

This is not only the just but the smart and cost-effective thing to do. High quality early childhood programs have been shown to return $8.60 for every dollar invested.

Staff in quality voluntary home visiting programs, Early Head Start and Head Start programs, Child Care and Pre-K programs play critical roles in stimulating healthy brain development to buffer the negative impacts of poverty and produce lifelong benefits for disadvantaged children. But far too few young children get high quality early childhood development and learning supports. Early Head Start, which provides comprehensive services for poor infants and toddlers through home visiting, center-based and family child care serves only an estimated 4 percent of eligible children.

Together, we can and must close these opportunity gaps with urgency and persistence and create a more level playing field enabling all our children to succeed.

We are excited that Robin Hood, a poverty-fighting organization, is launching a new, groundbreaking initiative to build the first Early Learning Metropolis by partnering with organizations all across New York City to ensure every parent, grandparent, caregiver, and child care provider knows the best ways, based on up-to-date research, to spur children’s brain development in the first three years of life.

Research shows that spurring brain development is simple, and impactful. Every moment, no matter how small, is an opportunity to

stimulate children’s brains – bath time, meal time, bed time – these every day moments are a chance to stimulate a child’s mind. Anyone can do it – parents, grandparents, caregivers or teachers.

It doesn’t require parents to spend money – just attention and love. But imagine how much harder this is if you are living in a homeless shelter or don’t know where your next meal is coming from or feel unsafe and uncertain and lack private bath time or play space to enjoy your children.

Chilean Nobel literature laureate Gabriela Mistral wrote, “We are guilty of many errors and many faults, but our worst crime is abandoning the children, neglecting the fountain of life. Many of the things we need can wait.

The child cannot. Right now is the time his bones are being formed, his blood is being made, and his senses are being developed. To him we cannot answer ‘Tomorrow.’

His name is today.” From a child’s birth until age three, we have only a thousand days to help build their brains and chart the course for a lifetime of learning, making every day that passes a potential opportunity lost or gained.

So this Mother’s Day, we call on every parent, grandparent, early childhood provider and teacher to be brain builders, helping prepare our youngest children for a bright future. Together, we can change the trajectory of an entire generation of children beginning this year in New York City.

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.

Robotics team makes it to quarterfinals in world championship

A robotics team that includes students from five MPS high schools advanced to the quarterfinal round in the prestigious FIRST Robotics World Championship in St. Louis last month.

Team 1675 – dubbed the “Ultimate Protection Squad” – includes students from Milwaukee Public Schools' Lynde and Harry Bradley Technology and Trade School, Rufus King International High School, Reagan College Preparatory High School, Washington High School of Information Technology, and Veritas High School, along with a home-schooled student.

After two 10-hour days of fast-paced competition, Team 1675 was seeded 10th in its 75-robot division, higher than any of the oth-

er eight Wisconsin teams at the championship. The robot was eliminated after two challenging matches, but students will continue to strive for excellence and promote science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) in the off-season.

FIRST Robotics is designed to help students discover how interesting and rewarding engineering and science careers can be.

Teams of young people and their mentors work to solve a common problem in a sixweek time frame using a stan-

dard kit of parts and a common set of rules. Solving the problem involves designing, building and programming 120-pound robots that compete against others on a basketball-court sized field.

An estimated 40,000 people attended the championship, including about 20,000 students from two-dozen countries. At the event, Team 1675 students and mentors learned new ways to increase their impact in the community through STEM outreach as well as how to use technology, not only in building robots, but also in scouting other teams, developing strategy and tracking success.

Students and mentors will continue to meet after the official season is over to consider ways to improve their performance next year.

They’ll also engage in community events throughout the area with the robot as a way to share information about the importance of STEM education.

Outside of competitions, team members spend their time demonstrating their love of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to their community. They perform robotic demonstrations and organize tournaments for younger students in an effort to increase exposure to STEM in the community.

Team 1675 is sponsored by Aluma-Tec, GE Volunteers, Hellerman Tyton, Matthew Blakeburn Photography, Milwaukee School of Engineering, George Mosher, PPG and Rockwell Automation.

Green Bay Packer Sam Barrington, UnitedHealthcare support MPS students in Sherman Park neighborhood

Barrington to visit Townsend Street School to announce funding of weekend healthy meals program, activity space renovation NFL linebacker Sam Barrington, the 2015 Green Bay Packers Walter Payton Man of the Year, is teaming up with UnitedHealthcare to help renovate a student activity room at Milwaukee Public Schools' Townsend Street School and support Blessings in a Backpack, a program that provides bags of nutritious food for students.

The renovation project and the weekend meal program is part of a $22,000 grant from UnitedHealthcare to Sam Barrington's Dreambuilders program. Barrington will join employee volunteers from UnitedHealthcare to assemble furniture, and paint and refresh the Townsend Street School's student activity center. UnitedHealthcare is also donating items for the room.

Sam Barrington

Blessings in a Backpack is a national nonprofit that provides nutritious food for eligible school children who may otherwise have little or no healthy food to eat on weekends during the school year. Beginning with the new school year in August, Barrington and UnitedHealthcare will provide bags of healthy foods and snacks to 100 students at Townsend

every Friday afternoon, ensuring these children do not go hungry on the weekends.

To introduce the program, Barrington and UnitedHealthcare employees donated backpacks of healthy food to all 335 students as part of their volunteer activity at the school on Wednesday, May 11.

MATC Promise offered to high school juniors Free tuition program expanded to Class of 2017

Milwaukee Area Technical College President Dr. Vicki J. Martin announced recently that current high school juniors can apply for the MATC Promise, the program that provides free tuition and fees for eligible students.

"The response to the MATC Promise from prospective students and their parents/guardians, our K-12 education partners, business leaders, elected officials, community members and donors has been incredibly positive," said Martin. "Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we have the necessary funds to support another cohort of Promise students."

The announcement comes on the same day the White House released details on a $100 million investment for America's Promise Job-Driven Training grants. The De-

high school in the MATC district and/or reside in the MATC district and meet additional requirements to be eligible for the MATC Promise. The program will pay students' tuition and fees for four consecutive semesters after federal and state financial grants have been applied.

It just looks like we’re not hurting: 20 signs of depression Depression affects everyone differently. Not all people experience the same symptoms, but there are some telltale signs that are very common. If you recognize that you, or someone close to you, have been experiencing some of these symptoms, don’t ignore them. Give voice to your feelings and speak up. No one should, or has to feel this way. Below are some examples of feelings/situations that are often associated with depression: 1. You are always too busy and never have, or take, the time to give yourself the care you need.

2. You feel as though you are running from something; something is eating at you.

3. You keep things that bother you locked up inside,

festering and are afraid to speak about disappointment, hurts, fears; you are afraid or express anger. You hold on to grudges for way too long.

4. You can’t ask people for what you need.

5. You find yourself being secretive about your feelings.

6. Your appetite changes.

You can’t wait to get home to eat something, anything and lots of it because it’s the only thing that soothes you.

Or you’ve lost your appetite and nothing tastes good to you anymore.

7. You just don’t have en-

ergy to do anything and you have to force yourself to do everything.

8. Everything is so hard that you’re sleeping a lot. It’s difficult to get up. You are afraid to get up.

9. You can’t seem to concentrate—on any one thing.

You look at the same piece of paper over and over.

10. You are steadily gaining weight. Self esteem starts to plummet.

11. You are not doing work that brings you joy; you are just working a gig, and holding out for the check.

12. You lose interest in sex and your relationship begins to suffer.

13. You have a persistent, gnawing feeling that something is wrong. And you’re right!

14. People are talking—

you know this because their lips are moving—but you have no idea what they are saying. You aren’t even there.

15. You used to care a lot about what you wore; now you just wear anything that fits.

16. You stay home a little too often, cancel plans with friends and stop doing the things that once made you happy. You start calling in sick at least once a month.

17. You feel as though you are at the end of your rope and there’s no way you can face another day.

18. You wonder if you’re having a nervous breakdown.

19. You cry a lot and without warning.

20. Every morning you wake up with crippling anxiety, terrified to get out of bed and face the world.

The advantages of foster parenting In a perfect world, all children would be loved and nurtured and live in a cozy home with a stable family. Unfortunately, that's not always the case. More than 400,000 children are placed in foster care annually, with more than 200,000 moving in and out of foster homes in a given year, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Typically, children are placed in foster care because of abuse, neglect or abandonment, but they can also enter the system because of behavioral problems or because a biological parent is incarcerated or ill. While foster parenting is not without challenges, it also often provides numerous, significant advantages for both the foster parents and the child.

Safe, stable environment One of the most meaningful advantages that foster parenting provides is a safe, stable home for the child explains Mandy Zalich, executive director for CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Westmoreland, Inc. “The goal of fostering a child is almost always reunification with the parents,” says Zalich. “This is why it's so important to have the child placed with a nurturing foster family. No matter what the situation was with the child’s parents, he or she is still experiencing a loss.

During this process, children lose all of their connections – their friends, their family, their room, their pets. Foster parents provide stability and are there to help them through this transitional period.” About half of the children who are placed in foster care will be reunited with their parents or primary caregiver; in the meantime, the foster parent's goal is to provide the child with stability as well as whatever help the child may need in terms of medical or psychological

treatment says the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Academic benefits The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services also reports that a child entering foster care is typically between 6 and 8 years old, and most remain in foster care for about a year. Not surprisingly, this transition can have a dramatic effect on a school-age child’s academic achievement. “Every time a child is moved from a home, they lose about six months in the school system,” says Zalich. “So, for instance, if a child is removed from a home, or if a child turns out not to be a good fit for a family, and needs to be moved again, he’s going to fall back another six months in terms of academic progress.” Zalich says that before they’re placed with a foster family, neglected or abused children have worries and concerns that their peers typically don't, often rendering them unable to concentrate or participate in school. “A kid in a classroom who’s still living at home with his parents might be thinking about whether he has food at home, whether there are disputes going on, whether he has a warm coat to wear, or whether he’s going to be picked on because his clothes are dirty or don’t fit. He’s got all of this going on in his head while he’s supposed to be learning,” Zalich says. Foster parents can provide a critical benefit in this department. “When children are able to feel safer and have more stability, they have a lot

An NCON Communications Publication

less to worry about at home, and maybe can focus on their schoolwork a little more,” she says.

Family benefits Foster parenting doesn’t just benefit children; it can also have a profound impact

on the foster parents themselves. The most significant benefit, says Zalich, is knowing that you helped save a child’s life. “Knowing that you have made a difference in a child’s life, that you have helped him during this transitional period, is the biggest advantage of foster parenting,” she says. Most foster parents, she says, are people who love children but either cannot have children of their own or who have stopped having children. Foster parenting can also lead to a permanent placement: approximately 20 percent of the

children who move through the system are adopted by their foster families. In fact, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports that foster parenting can sometimes provide a quicker route to adoption than other channels, while providing the opportunity for the child to maintain a connection with his birth parents. Foster families typically express up-front whether they wish to adopt a foster child, Zalich says. “If CYS (Children and Youth Services) finds that the kids are (Continued on pg.14)

Author Steve Phillips pulls together plenty of intriguing ideas, history, and cause-andeffect tales but too many stats, which often muddy his points. He seems to go off-topic, sometimes slightly, but enough to cause me to stop and wonder where this was going. And yet, what he says is compelling and impossible to ignore; to wit, we are on the verge of something that could be exciting, if we only coalesce.

To reach that point, there are suggestions here, some of which may be controversial and some of which will require serious work.

Still, though this book is definitely on the heavy side, what you’ll eventually learn is meaningful, particularly in this election year. For anyone over 18, “Brown is the New White” could be a book that matters.

Smart politicians, Phillips says, will “invest wisely” by speaking directly through media outlets that are important and relevant to voters in order to keep the New American Majority’s attention and retain their support.

Both parties must examine ways to bring “justice” and, therefore, equality to constituents. They need to cultivate “great cultural competence and expertise.” And they’ll have to “educate themselves c.2016, The New Press about the realities of the lives of people of color.” $25.95 / $30.95 Canada Jam-packed with statis249 pages tics, numbers, and thoughts that whirl around the pages, says.

a politician looking to win in 2016, those demographics belie an “equation that’s been hiding in plain sight”: add progressive White voters, and “America has a progressive, multiracial majority right now…”

That’s good news for Democrats – the party most often favored by progressives and people of color – but it’s not the final word. Drawing a line from Selma to Obama’s election, Phillips says that understanding the interests and histories of each individual group (including progressive Whites) is essential for forward movement, politically.

It’s also important to know how those groups vote and the issues they care about, because if the “truth of the lives of the New American Majority” is ignored, “they will ignore you…” Phillips

CALEND

Your vote matters.

At least that’s what they tell you, but you have your doubts. You’re ONE of millions of people who’ll go to the polls in November.

You’re a raindrop in the sea, a needle in a voting haystack.

But as you’ll see in “Brown is the New White” by Steve Phillips, you are more powerful than you think.

In 1968, the year Martin Luther King was assassinated, about 12 percent of the U.S. population comprised “people of color.” Forty years later, on the night that Barack Obama was elected president, 36 percent of Americans were African American, Latino, Asian American, Arab American, or Native American.

While that still doesn’t sound like a very high number, Phillips says that, for

Long-term benefits Fostering a child certainly has many advantages, but Zalich says that the hardest part of becoming a foster parent is knowing that the situation is likely temporary.

“You love this child, you take him in, and you treat the child as part of your family, but then you’re asked to let him go,” she says. Despite the emotional tug-of-war, foster parents should find solace in the fact that they

can remain a resource for the child. “While it is up to the biological family, parents can choose to stay in touch with their child’s foster family by asking them to babysit or remain a resource in terms of the child’s education, training or therapy,” says Zalich.

This is more common when a child has been reunited with his parent but still has a sibling or a half-sibling in foster care. “While letting go of a child is incredibly hard, it may be the best thing for the child, since reunification is always the goal,” she says.

THIS WEEK IN

Thursday, May 12: On this date in 1862, African American slaves commandeered the Confederate ship “the Planter.” The captain and all of the white crew members had gone ashore to attend a party in Charleston, leaving the black crew alone.

Slave Robert Smalls and the black crew’s families came aboard the Planter. Smalls was the quartermaster, or wheelman, of the ship and knew all the routing channels in Charleston harbor and the gun and troop positions of the Confederate armies guarding the harbor. He and the other slaves got the ship under way, headed for the mouth of the harbor and the blockading Union fleet and were soon passing under the guns of Fort Sumter. To boost their odds of success, Smalls dressed himself in the clothing of Planter’s Confederate captain. The strategy worked because they weren’t fired upon until after they were out of range. The Planter eventually came up to the Union ship, U.S.S. Onward, to surrender. Although the ship was not heavily armed, it was valuable because it could carry up to 1,000 troops. Therefore it was an important trophy for the Union. Generally, any enemy ship taken in this way is treated as an honor for the men who performed the brave accomplishment. However, it took a special act of Congress to award the ship as a reward and it was valued at only $9,168 dollars or one-third its true value.

Friday, May 13: Fearing conquest by Napoleon, the Portuguese royal family fled to Brazil and ruled from its largest colony. On this date in 1888 the royal family abolished slavery, a decision which proved very unpopular with the landowning class which controlled the military. They gradually conspired to bring the Imperial family rule to an end in Brazil. Despite the Brazilian Republic upholding the abolition of slavery, forced labor still exists in Brazil to this day on some large estates.

Saturday, May 14: On this date in 1961 two buses containing American Freedom Riders were assaulted in Annison, Alabama. These young black and white Americans were testing the 1960 United States Supreme Court decision in Boynton v. Virginia, which reiterated the earlier ruling prohibiting racial segregation in interstate transportation. The group riding on a Greyhound bus arrived in Annison first. They were met by a mob whose members threw rocks and slashed the bus’s tires. The driver managed to drive the bus a few miles out of town. When he stopped to repair the tires, white supremacists firebombed the vehicle. For that group the Freedom Ride had ended. Anniston whites also assaulted the riders in the second Trailways bus. They managed to get to Birmingham where they encountered a larger mob who beat them with baseball bats, lead pipes and bicycle chains. The violence sickened many Americans and the number of Freedom Riders grew to an unstoppable wave.

Sunday, May 15: African American activist, lecturer and businesswoman Diane Nash was born on this date in 1938. She was one of the founders of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) of the American civil rights movement.

In 1961, she took over responsibility for the Freedom Rides from Birmingham, Alabama, to Jackson, Mississippi. The rides had been conceived by the Congress of Racial Equality, but after severe attacks (see May 14), CORE’s leader James L. Farmer, Jr., was inclined to cancel them; but Nash argued that the movement would fail if they were intimidated by violence.

She was awarded the John F. Kennedy Library Distinguished American Award in March 2003 and the LBJ Award for Leadership in Civil Rights in March 2004.

Monday, May 16: On this date in 1792, Denmark abolished slavery. Denmark was the first established sovereign European country to prohibit the slave trade, but not slavery.

Tuesday, May 17: Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka was ruled on this date in 1954. This was a landmark court case in which the Supreme Court of the United States unanimously declared that it was unconstitutional to create separate schools for children based on race. The Brown ruling ranks as one of the most important Supreme Court decisions of the 20th century. At the time of the decision, 17 southern states and the District of Columbia required that all public schools be racially segregated. A few northern and western states, including Kansas, left the issue of segregation up to individual school districts. While most schools in Kansas were integrated in 1954, those in Topeka were not.

Wednesday, May 18: On this date in 1896, the United States Supreme Court upheld Plessy v. Ferguson. This “separate but equal” Louisiana decree marked the formal beginning of Jim Crow segregation. The Plessy case grew out of a careful strategy to test the legality of a Louisiana law passed in 1890 that required railroads to maintain separate train cars for blacks and whites. A group of influential blacks raised money to test the law and in June 1892, Homer A. Plessy bought a first-class ticket on the East Louisiana Railroad and sat in the car designated for Whites only. He was arrested and at his trial sued Judge Ferguson claiming the law was unconstitutional. www.milwaukeetimesnews.com
