Protesters and Hamilton family commemorate second anniversary of Dontre Hamilton shooting Steadily increasing rain and chilly wind greeted the Hamilton family and about 75 other protesters who gathered at noon on April 30 at North 27th and West Center streets for a march downtown to Red Arrow Park to commemorate the second anniversary of the shooting of Dontre Hamilton, a 31-year-old man with a history of mental illness.

Hamilton was shot 14 times on April 30, 2014 by former Milwaukee Police Officer Christopher Manney after a ‘pat down’ search turned into a physical altercation.

Manney was fired by the Milwaukee Police Department for not following proper procedure, but local, state and federal prosecutors declined to bring criminal charges against him. The Hamilton family filed a federal civil rights lawsuit contending that Manney unlawfully detained Dontre Ham-

ilton and that police department policies contributed to Dontre Hamilton’s death.

After arriving at the park, family and other supporters paused for 14 seconds of silence, one second for each time Hamilton was shot.

During the march a number of protestors carried signs demanding more legal accountability from police when citizens are killed or injured. Others carried signs that included the phrase “Black Lives Matter.”

Dontre’s brother, Nate Hamilton, thanked so many people for coming out to remember his brother. The family had organized an 8-hour festival event featuring music, poetry, games for children, food and talks by Nate Hamilton and others, but attendance was probably affected by the weather.

Hundreds of women who have lost children to violence will be showered with love on Mother’s Day For some, Mother's Day brings more pain than joy.

That's especially true for mothers who have lost a child to violence. One Milwaukee man had a vision -- a plan to shower these mothers with love, and an event he championed is in its second year.

"I'm ready to feed 250 mothers who lost their children to violence," Terrell Johnnies said.

Johnnies on Sunday, May 8th will host the second annual "Mothers Day Brunch" for mothers who have had to bury their children as a result of violence.

The tragedy of them losing their child has happened, and we can't change that, but

Terrell Johnnies now we can try to heal them and try to help them," Johnnies said.

The special Mother's Day Brunch will take place at the historic Astor Hotel, near Astor and Juneau.

"We're going to provide free mimosas as well -- free mimosas for the mothers,"

Johnnies said. "The Astor is very nice, very upscale. It gives a very smooth feel, and I want the mothers to feel pampered and comfortable, and like 'wow, they did all this for us' -- so they can really feel special."

The very first "Mother's Day Brunch" for mothers who have lost a child to violence was held in 2015. There were 180 mothers that were fed and showered with love.

"It was awesome," Johnnies said.

We have seen another violent year in Milwaukee -with nearly 40 homicides so far in 2016.

"The numbers are horrible.

Donald Driver kicks off month-long 'Click it or Ticket' campaign Donald Driver, the record holder for the most receptions by a Green Bay Packer wide receiver, is taking part in a campaign intended to persuade people to use their seat belt while driving in Wisconsin.

Driver and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) are once again joining forces as part of the “Click it or Ticket” campaign in the state. The campaign will run during the month of May. The campaign was launched with a news conference at the Boys and Girls Club in Milwaukee on April 29. Driver spoke to students.

He told the students and members of the media that being a part of the campaign

Driver and the DOT also unveiled a series of six new commercials for the campaign. A talking point paper provided to the members of the media said consistent safety belt use was the “single most effective way to protect people from being ejected from a vehicle or thrown around violently inside it during a crash.” The paper also noted that seat Donald Driver belt use in Wisconsin is estimated to be at an all-time meant a lot to him. high of 86 percent, but still “When you go through two percentage points lowsomething in life, it changes er than the national average you,” said Driver. “As a kid and much lower than some growing up, I never wore a neighboring states whose usseatbelt.

In an effort to ease the pain, mothers who have been through the unimaginable will be treated to an all-youcan-eat buffet, camaraderie and entertainment.

Rebuilding Our Community

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

Closing the gaps It was the Irish playwright and Nobel Prize recipient in literature, George Bernard Shaw (1865-1950) who said, “Some men see things and say ‘Why?’ But I dream of things that never were and say 'why not'?"

This is a quote that is reflective and celebrates visionary and idealistic thinking. With this thought in mind, there is a shortage of “visionaries” today who are willing to work on solving many of the lingering historical and generational problems of our modern society.

This critical shortage of “visionaries” is showing up all over America. So much is going on these days that it is hard to keep up with the stockpile of issues that have become the norm, lead stories on cable and satellite stations, spotlighted on talk radio and 24 hour news cy-

cles. Many of these pressing issues mirror state and national trends. Some of these issues include opioid abuse, expanding poverty, gruesome slayings, gang violence, homelessness, mental health, public unrest, political corruption, sexual assaults, wealth gap and poor housing.

Of course, Milwaukee is not alone in the growing list of issues that are emerging

Being Frank There are many factors that go into shaping a person. There is race, family and even weight. Experts often refer to genetics as the de-

each and every day. In fact, Milwaukee tops the list in many categories of major challenges and includes being listed as one of the top ten most dangerous places to live. Milwaukee is also leading the way in the number of African American youth being suspended from high school, high infant mortality rates, and the highest percentage of African American

immense. The mother factor is often the one that pushes a person to great heights or deep chasms.

men being incarcerated in state prisons. These realities are also affecting those living in suburban and sprawling rural communities. The sure impact of these issues is eating away at the core value of feeling safe, expressing religious faith, and pursuing one’s dream while a resident of the most powerful country in the world.

Without a doubt, it appears that what is missing today are those “visionaries” to come forth and help close the gaps in our society. They see things differently, imagining the possible and are willing to work with others beyond the color line, socioeconomic status and religious beliefs. They just want to get the work done, regardless of who gets the credit or the pat on the back. They are there for the opportunity to im-

pending on who you ask the answers range from caretaker to babysitter. That question is one everyone has an answer to. The reason being, we all have a mother. This is why the mother factor is so important.

In today’s society there are probably more single mothers in the USA than at any other point in history. This is why the mother factor is vital to success. A strong mother will create strong children, which leads to a strong country. A weak, uncaring mother will create suspect children that will continue the downward spiral of the USA. Many fathers are screaming 'what about us'? What about you? Fathers are important, But in today’s society their impact has been nullified to a degree. The strong mother is one who shapes her children to do better than she did.

This mother does this not by talking, but by actions. She steps to the plate and teaches her children their ABC’s before they go to school.

This mother is their child’s best defense attorney but will admit when their child is wrong. This mother instills morals into them. She is not perfect, but she expects it from her children because she knows how life will treat them.

The strong mother understands her limitations and does something to try to extend these limits. She may go back to school to ensure a better position. The strong

mother may have to come down hard on their child and play the bad guy. This is done with a hurt heart, but with a knowing that if she doesn’t, society will. This mother understands that if she slacks, her children will grow up to be modern day savages. This mother understands the burden undertaken when she decided to bear children.

In today’s USA, the mother model has been warped.

Too often, mothers seek to be their child’s best friend.

In many instances, mothers pamper their sons to the point where they are eternal infants. These neutered sons leave their mother and marry a wife who performs the same role as mom did. In a sense, these infant/men never grow up. This same model of mom will hang out with their daughter trying to relive their younger days. This mom helps her daughter into the same errors she made instead of warning the child about the trials of womanhood.

I know people are saying, “Where the daddy at? He has responsibility, too.” This is very true. The father has a key role in the shaping of a child. As stated before, with the increase of single mothers, dad’s role is diminished.

This is why the mother factor is so important. The number of incompetent mothers and unfit fathers can be attributed to inept mothers.

A celebration of Motherhood (Part 1) “Honor your father and mother which is the first commandment with a promise – that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life.”

- Ephesians 6:1-3 Welcome to the Month of May! Last month, this writer sent a call out to mothers to submit their thoughts on the statement: “What Have Been Your Greatest Joys of Motherhood?” This writer was astonished by the responses.

Due to the volume of responses, entries for publication were received on a firstcome, first-served basis. This month please join us as this column celebrates motherhood and enjoy the submissions of so many grateful and loving mothers. *** My enjoyable moment of motherhood is watching my daughter become a successful young lady in the work force as a Human Resources Professional.

(401k) and health insurance, she takes the time to ensure employees have a clear understanding in these areas.

She is an excellent worker and she is caring, helpful and patient with a positive attitude for helping others.

Education

Wednesday, May 11, 2016

Connecticut history teacher named 'National Teacher Of The Year' Smiling from ear to ear, Jahana Hayes stood next to President Barack Obama at the White House Tuesday, May 3, 2016 finding it hard to believe she was being honored as the nation's top educator.

Hayes, 43, got pregnant while in high school and considered dropping out.

But her teachers pushed her to dream bigger. She went on to college and for the past 11 years has taught at John F. Kennedy High School in Waterbury, CT. "Our teacher of the year here stands as proof that we can't set expectations high enough for our kids," Obama said. "There's magic in those kids. We just have to find it.

We have to unleash it."

As she accompanied President Obama into the East Room, Hayes took a few seconds to compose herself before stepping up to the lectern.

"Teaching is about special moments," she said. "As amazing as today is, it's just one of many incredible mo-

2016 Teacher of the Year Jahana Hayes. ments I've shared with my students over the years."

As teacher of the year, Hayes will spend a year on a paid sabbatical from Waterbury, traveling the nation to represent educators and advocate on behalf of teachers.

In introducing Obama, Hayes thanked the president for his commitment to education. She spoke of the struggles she had overcome as a teenager — Hayes grew up in the Berkeley Heights public housing project in Wa-

terbury with a mother who was addicted to drugs and lost their apartment at one point — and how the lessons she learned help her connect to her own young students.

"I see myself in every one of those students and I carry my own experiences as a reminder that as a teacher I have to be better," she said.

Obama said Hayes "remembers what it's like to be one of [her students].

"She sees a grace in them and a possibility in them," he

said. "And because she sees it, they start seeing it."

Obama said of all the various dignitaries he hosts at the White House he gets a special sense of enjoyment out of hosting the nation's top teachers at an event that coincides with National Teacher Appreciation Day. He said he'd be proud if his own daughters — Sasha and Malia, the latter of whom will attend Harvard University — pursued careers in teaching.

Hayes' daughter Asia Coxton, 26, is a teacher in West Hartford, CT. While taking some time to mention the progress his administration has made for education — expanding access to broadband and wireless in classrooms, training new teachers in STEM — Obama said there was more work to be done. He said teachers need to be paid better. And educators need to be given more flexibility to teach creatively rather than teaching to a test.

too many of our schools," he said. "We need more teachers like this and all of you. We've got to make the profession more attractive. We do have to have accountability in the classroom … we've got to come up with measures that are meaningful."

Hayes said educators are at a critical juncture.

"We must lead the charge and change the dialogue surrounding conversations about this profession," she said.

Connecticut State Education Commissioner Dianna Wentzell, who accompanied Hayes to the White House, thanked her for "shining her light so brightly and reminding us that every student matters and every student has their own bright light to shine."

For being named the National Teacher of the Year, Hayes was presented with the "crystal apple" award by "We do have to do better in Obama.

Bulletin Board Study finds collaborative efforts among education partners improving outcomes at Carver Academy Academics are improving and school climate is more positive at an MPS elementary school due to a collaborative effort of corporate, education, and nonprofit leaders, according to a report released Tuesday, May 3, 2016 by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

The report focused on the work of the 5-in-1 Collaborative, a partnership involving Milwaukee Public Schools, Schools That Can Milwaukee, City Year Milwaukee, Teach for America-Milwaukee and Northwestern Mutual to effect positive change for school leadership and students at MPS’ Dr. George Washington Carver Academy for Mathematics and Science.

The partners demonstrated a collective impact program model that resulted in substantive school improvement, the report found. This finding can help shape other efforts to improve outcomes in other schools.

Among the results of the study of Carver: • Math and reading scores are steadily improving • The number of students who are closing achievement gaps increased • Students who were in the first two years of the program performed even better their second year •Suspensions at the school www.milwaukeetimesnews.com

decreased by 20 percent in just three years “The transformation at Carver has truly been remarkable,” said Carver Principal Janel Hawkins. “Every day we find ourselves using lessons learned from this experience to continue to push academic performance forward.”

In 2012, the Northwestern Mutual Foundation and Milwaukee Public Schools initiated the 5-in-1 Collaborative to improve academic performance and strengthen school climate at Carver, a school that historically struggled academically. City Year Milwaukee, Schools That Can Milwaukee and Teach for America-Milwaukee joined the project in 2013, representing the first time all three of the nonprofits had collaborated together at one MPS site.

The 5-in-1 Collaborative focuses on four targets: instruction and learning; culture and climate; family engagement; and school leadership effectiveness; and it encouraged partners to rethink their roles and develop shared strategies and actions that aligned their strengths to support students and staff.

“Playing a lead role in bringing these organizations together for the first time in one school was a unique

opportunity for us to positively transform a school for the benefit of the community,” said Eric Christophersen, vice president, strategic philanthropy at Northwestern Mutual. “Through the collective effort, each child at Carver is being given the tools needed to be successful both in the classroom and in life so the study’s results showcase that we are achieving the goals we set out to do.”

Partners focused on these specific efforts: • Northwestern Mutual Foundation initiated the project to identify a new model of school-community partnership to improve outcomes; funded the project and was a vital strategic partner.

• City Year Milwaukee

AmeriCorps members provided individual, small group and school-wide interventions and academic supports in key subjects including math and reading.

• Schools That Can Milwaukee provided Principal Janel Hawkins and her leadership team with weekly leadership coaching; data analysis and goal-setting support; monthly professional development with other school leaders across the city; and visits to schools of excellence in other cities.

• Teach for America-Milwaukee contributed 10 diverse and talented teachers, supported by TFA Managers of Teacher Leadership Development.

A team of evaluators from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of

Education served as collaborative partners and evaluators focused on the collective impact framework that guided the collaborative.

Milwaukee Public Schools is already using the lessons learned from the 5-in-1 Collaborative report to shape and mold new opportunities including: • The establishment of four MPS Community Schools in partnership with United Way of Greater Milwaukee and Waukesha and other community organizations to improve student outcomes; • The development of a collaborative effort with seven arts organizations to offer high-quality arts experiences for MPS students in 25 schools; and • The expansion of ProStart, a culinary-arts program designed to prepare students for careers in the fast growing food services industry, in partnership with the Bartolotta Restaurants Hospitality Democracy, SURG Restaurant Group and others.

Learn the facts about one of the most common sight-threatening conditions for African American older adults

Don’t let cataracts cloud your ability to see life to the fullest African Americans have nearly twice the risk of developing cataracts than Caucasians. This difference may be due to other medical illnesses, particularly diabetes. African Americans are also much more likely to become blind from cataracts and glaucoma than Caucasians, mostly due to lack of treatment. Despite this threat, most people don’t know the facts about cataracts until they are “eyeto-eye” with one. Don’t let poor vision cloud your future. Educate yourself about cataract symptoms, risks and removal. Then, ask yourself if it’s time for you to have an eye exam.

CATARACT FACTS What exactly is a cataract?

“A cataract is the clouding of the natural lens located inside the eye behind the pupil,” says Mark Freedman, MD, senior partner at Eye Care Specialists, a leading ophthalmology practice recognized for providing advanced medical, surgical and laser treatment of most all eye conditions. “This lens works like a camera lens— focusing light onto the retina at the back of the eye to form the images you see. As you age, changes can cause clouding of this lens. This clouding is called a ‘cataract.’

As the clouding advances, it can blur and glare vision to the point of inhibiting dayto-day functioning. Depending on the type of cataract, the clouding may take years or just months to progress.”

What increases the risk of developing a cataract?

•Age (cataracts develop with time, like age spots & wrinkles—six out of 10 people over age 60 have some form of cataract) •Diabetes (doubles the risk for cataracts & glaucoma) •Cortisone/steroid use •Long-term unprotected sunlight exposure •Previous eye injury •Smoking How do you get rid of a cataract?

“There are no drugs, drops, glasses or exercises that can prevent or cure cataracts,” says Brett Rhode, MD, Head of Ophthalmology at Aurora Sinai Medical Center and partner at Eye Care Specialists. “The only effective treatment is to make an opening in the eye, surgically remove the cloudy lens (cataract), and replace it with an intraocular lens implant (IOL) to once again focus light rays onto the retina,”

glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment and macular degeneration) could detract from your surgery results. Your exam will also include a quick, painless ultrasound procedure to determine the prescription for the IOL implant that will restore focusing ability in your eye.

Dr. Daniel Paskowitz explains his findings to a patient. adds Rhode, who, along with the rest of the surgeons at Eye Care Specialists, uses the most advanced techniques to gently break up and remove cataracts through a tiny incision.

What are the symptoms?

Losing your vision is not a fact of life as you grow older.

Schedule an eye exam if you notice: •Foggy, fuzzy, blurred or double vision •Sensitivity to light and glare •“Starbursts” around lights •Holding items closer to view •Needing brighter light to read •Fading or yellowing of colors •Difficulty judging stairs or curbs •Difficulty seeing to drive at night •Vision changes affecting the ability to do tasks •Glasses and prescription changes don’t help When should you have surgery?

Daniel Ferguson, MD, an ophthalmologist with thousands of cases under his surgical cap advises, “It’s not necessary to wait to remove a cataract until it’s so ripe that almost all vision is blocked.

In fact, if you wait too long, it can grow so dense that the operation becomes more difficult. If a cataract is preventing you from doing tasks, new glasses won’t improve clarity, and no other major eye conditions exist which would keep you from having a positive outcome (like severe macular degeneration), then it’s time for surgery.”

Why do some people hesitate to have surgery?

“Some people delay surgery because they think it’s unaffordable. They don’t realize it’s covered by Medicare, Medicaid and most insurance plans. Others think they are too old or that poor vision is just a fact of life that comes with age. We want everyone to know that vision loss from cataracts is usually reversible, and with today’s advanced

techniques and equipment, cataract removal is one of the safest outpatient operations—even for the very elderly,” says Freedman.

What happens once you decide to have the cataract removed?

Cataract surgery is NOT performed in the office or on the day of your initial appointment. First, you must meet the surgeon and have preparatory tests done. Once you and your doctor decide to proceed with surgery, you will have a comprehensive eye exam to see if any other existing conditions (such as

What happens before surgery?

Daniel Paskowitz, MD, PhD, an eye surgeon with credentials from Harvard and Johns Hopkins, explains, “We enter information regarding the length of the eye and curvature of the cornea into a special computer that calculates the power of IOL which would best restore vision to pre-cataract levels. We then customize the type of implant and surgical technique to fit the patient’s needs—taking into consideration overall health, any diabetic or retinal problems, lifestyle, and other factors.

We never lose sight of the fact that even though our practice has performed tens of thousands of cataract procedures, each patient is unique and is treated accordingly.”

How does the lens implant restore vision?

Eye Care Specialists ophthalmologist and surgeon Michael Raciti, MD, explains, “After the cloudy lens (about the size of an aspirin) has been removed, the artificial lens implant (IOL) is inserted through the same opening and placed permanently inside the eye to provide focusing ability, peripheral (side) vision, and depth perception. IOLs not only provide sharper vision, but often improve sight to levels not seen in years. Standard IOLs are like miniature internal contact lenses set for a single prescription power—usually to provide clear vision in the distance for driving, watching TV, and other tasks. Most patients with these lenses still need reading glasses or bifocals. Newer ‘premium’ IOLs can adjust for astigmatism or provide multiple focusing zones with less dependence on glasses. Your surgeon will help you determine which type of IOL is best for your eye, health, budget and lifestyle.”

What happens during surgery?

Cataract surgery is performed on an outpatient basis using local anesthesia (often just drops to numb the eye). Typically, a no-stitch, self-sealing micro-incision is made to remove the cataract and insert the lens implant.

Utilizing these advanced techniques, the procedure itself usually takes only about 15-20 minutes and total time at the outpatient surgery center is about 2-3 hours.

What happens after surgery?

After surgery, patients go home and resume most activities within hours. Their vision noticeably improves within days. “Most people are so pleased with seeing things brighter and clearer, that they can’t wait to have their other eye done,” notes David Scheidt, OD, a medical optometrist who assists with the pre- and post-operative care of Eye Care Specialists’ patients.

Where do we expect Black children to learn about mental health?

(Part 2 of 2)

This week we continue our look at mental health issues and the African American community. Millions of Americans suffer from mental illness, but in our community there’s a hush-hush policy on the disease. While the signs can be overt as emotional outbursts or violent fits, others aren’t so easy to detect. To make matters worse healthcare disparities add to the reluctance to seek out help; and lack of proper medical insurance leads to an inability to get adequate treatment for mental health issue if one does decide Mental Health and Substance to seek treatment.

If a child has no respect for their mother how can they respect others, much less themselves?

Education is the key. Children at a young age have to be educated on how to be adults first, then parents. Much of this education should come from parents telling their children the truth about the errors they made in life.

A mother is the one thing a child should respect without doubt. Love is one thing, but respect is vital. A child can love, but not respect their mother. Lack of re-

THIS WEEK IN

Saturday, May 7: The birth in 1859 of playwright, author, journalist and editor Pauline Elizabeth Hopkins is celebrated on this date.

She was raised in Boston and her skill as a writer first brought her recognition in 1874, when, at the age of 15, she received first prize in a contest for her essay titled “Evils of Intemperance and Their Remedy.” At the age of 20, she completed her first play, Slaves’ Escape; or, the Underground Railroad, which was later performed in a stage production and renamed Peculiar Sam; or, The Underground Railroad. From 1900 until 1904, she served as writer and editor-in-chief for Colored American Magazine (CAM). During this time, two series were published that presented biographical sketches of African American women and men of note: “Famous Women of the Negro Race” and “Famous Men of the Negro Race.” She also published several of her own short stories and essays in CAM. By all accounts her literary activity declined after 1905 after she was forced out of CAM at the time of her death in 1930 she was reported to be working as a stenographer. Her work found a new generation of admirers beginning in the 1980s when a complete volume of her work was published.

Sunday, May 8: No official record of his birth exists; however Sonny Liston, an African American World Heavyweight Champion boxer chose May 8, 1932 for government documentation. He was born in Arkansas, the tenth of eleven children in an impoverished family where his father regularly beat him severely. He moved to St. Louis with his mother in 1945. Unable to read or write, Liston became a juvenile delinquent, serving 19 months in prison in 1950 for robbing a gas station. A priest in prison directed him to boxing and in 1953, he won the national Golden Gloves championship. Liston turned professional, went 14 and 1, but assaulted a police officer and returned to prison in 1956. After his release he won 16 bouts in a row, became the number one heavyweight contender in 1960. Due to his prison record and association with alleged organized crime figures, there was reluctance to give Liston a chance to fight for the championship. On September 25, 1962, he dethroned Floyd Patterson with a first-round knockout.

Liston lost his title to Cassius Clay in 1964 on a TKO (unable to answer the bell in the seventh round). One of the most iconic photos from the early 1960s is a photo of Clay, who had changed his name to Muhammad Ali, standing over a prone Liston after hitting him with a first-round knockout. His career record was 54-4 (with 39 knockouts). Sonny Liston died of unknown causes in January 1971, six months after his last boxing match.

Monday, May 9: Hall of Fame Baseball Player Tony Gwynn was born on this day in 1960. Gwynn retired in 2001 with 3,141 hits and a career batting average of .338. He is the only player in the modern era to win four batting titles in two different decades.

Gwynn died on June 16, 2014 of salivary gland cancer. He blamed use of chewing tobacco during his career as the cause of his cancer.

Tuesday, May 10: The hymn “Amazing Grace” was first published on this date in 1779. It was composed by John Newton, a white British man who was originally a slave trader. He became a hymn writer and clergyman after a religious conversion. In writing the words to “Amazing Grace,” Newton ironically used the pentatonic scale in the composition. This scale has often been referred to as the ‘Slave Scale’ as most black spirituals are composed using only the black notes of the piano.

Wednesday, May 11: On this date in 1933, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan was born in New York City. He is an African American religious leader in the Muslim community. Minister Farrakhan was an excellent musician; he played the violin and was a calypso singer. It was as a singer that he earned his livelihood before converting to Elijah Muhammad’s Nation of Islam in the 1950s. He quickly worked his way up to a leadership position, becoming the minister of the Boston mosque and soon leader of the Nation of Islam. On October 16, 1995, African American men from across the United States convened in Washington D.C. for the Million Man March, which was organized by Farrakhan.

Billed as a “holy day of atonement and reconciliation,” marchers were urged to make a commitment to improve themselves, their families, and their communities. www.milwaukeetimesnews.com

Friday, May 6: On this date in 1960, President Dwight Eisenhower signed the Civil Rights Act of 1960. This was the first civil rights bill to be approved by Congress since Reconstruction. Though Eisenhower is not routinely linked to the civil rights issue, his contribution, including the 1957 Voting Rights Act, was important as it pushed the whole civil rights issue into the public debate. At the time, politicians from the South were angry over what they saw as federal interference in state affairs. This bill became an act where as both parties briefly courted the “Black Vote.” This era largely ended after the Presidential election in November 1964.

Thursday, May 5: The Rev. Adam Clayton Powell, Sr., was born on this date in 1865. He was an African American clergyman and author; one of the most famous black Americans of his era. He was a dynamic preacher and substantially increased the congregation of the Abyssinian Church he led. Services at Abyssinian Baptist Church were joyful events. Spontaneous cries and shouts of “Amen!” “Hallelujah!” and “Praise the Lord!” came from various members of the congregation throughout church services. “Emotionalism,” Powell explained, was the heart of religious experience. In addition to his work as a church pastor, Powell was also a co-founder of the National Urban League, an early leader in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and one of the organizers of the Silent Protest Parade of 1917. Powell was an advocate of racial pride and believed in education and hard work. It was only in 1937, on his third attempt, that the church agreed to let him retire. Powell turned over the pulpit to his son, Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., who in 1945 became New York’s first black congressman. The Rev. Adam Clayton Powell, Sr., died in 1953. The church he led remains a thriving institution in Harlem.
