The 31st Annual Black and White Ball, held on Saturday, June 11, 2016 at the Wisconsin Center in downtown Milwaukee, proved to be another successful fundraiser for the Milwaukee Urban League. This year, the event raised more than $300,000 and included a special appeal to provide laptop computers for high achieving high school students. Money raised during this signature annual fundraiser goes to support the League's vital programs in the areas of youth and education; youth workforce development; and economic development. Several corporations presented special gifts at the ball, including We Energies, which presented the League with a check for $25,000.

Orlando shooting: 49 killed in 'worst mass shooting ever in the US' An American-born man who'd pledged allegiance to ISIS gunned down 49 people early Sunday, June 12, 2016, at a gay nightclub in Orlando, FL the deadliest mass shooting in the United States and the nation's worst terror attack since 9/11, authorities said. Omar Mateen carried an assault rifle and a pistol into the packed Pulse Club about 2 a.m., Sunday and started shooting, killing 49 people and wounding at least 53, officials said. After a standoff of about three hours, while people trapped inside the club desperately called and messaged friends and relatives, police crashed into the building with an armored vehicle and stun grenades and killed Mateen. "It appears he was organized and well-prepared," Orlando Police Chief John Mina said early Sunday. Authorities said they haven't found any accomplices. 'An act of hate' There has been no claim of responsibility for the attack on jihadi forums, but ISIS sympathizers have reacted by praising the attack on pro-Islamic State forums. "We know enough to say this was an act of terror and act of hate," President Obama said in an address to the nation from the White House. While the violence could
have hit any American community, "This is an especially heartbreaking day for our friends who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender," he said. Omar Mir Seddique Mateen was born in 1986 in New York. Most recently he lived in Fort Pierce, FL about 120 miles southeast of Orlando. Fearing explosives, police evacuated about 200 people from the apartment complex where he lived while they looked through his residence for evidence. Mateen's parents, who are from Afghanistan, said he'd expressed outrage after seeing two men kiss in Miami, but they didn't consider him particularly religious and didn't know of any connection he had to ISIS. He was married in 2009 to a woman originally from Uzbekistan, according to the marriage license, but he filed documents to end the marriage in 2011. Sitora Yusufiy, interviewed by CNN in Boulder, Colora-
do, said she and Mateen were together about four months, though it took a long time to complete the divorce because they lived in different parts of the country after separating. Mateen was a normal husband at the beginning of their marriage but started abusing her after a few months, she said. She said Mateen was bipolar, although he was not formally diagnosed. She also said Mateen had a history with steroids. He was religious but she said she doesn't think his religion played in to the attack. Mateen had worked since 2007 as a security officer at G4S Secure Solutions, one of the world's largest private security companies. At a Sunday afternoon news briefing, FBI Assistant Special Agent Ronald Hopper said the agency was aware of Mateen. The FBI interviewed him in 2013 and 2014 after he expressed sympathy for a suicide bomber, Hopper said.
Hillary Clinton makes history Hillary Clinton made history Tuesday, June 7, 2016 as the first woman to win the nomination of a major political party and now turns her attention to her opponent, billionaire businessman Donald Trump. Voters in Park Ridge, IL, say that the fact that Clinton is a native will not impact how they vote, nor the fact that she's a woman. Trump has been expert so far in the election cycle at grabbing headlines. The Trump factor is one of the reasons political experts say Clinton's historic moment is placed on page 35 of Wednesday's Chicago SunTimes. Kate Grossman, with the University of Chicago's Institute of Politics, says the public has been used to the idea of Clinton since 2008 when she first ran for president. She is also hoping to succeed another historic president. "We have had eight years of an African American president. We've sort of usherd in a hopefully new era of inclusiveness in politics, so this seems like a natural next step," says Grossman. But Clinton supporter and political consultant Delmarie Cobb says Clinton should get as much coverage as Obama
"Those interviews turned out to be inconclusive, so there was nothing to keep the investigation going," Hopper said. Mateen was not under investigation at the time of Sunday's shooting and was not under surveillance, Hopper said. In the past two weeks Mateen legally purchased a Glock pistol and a long gun, ATF Assistant Special Agent in Charge Trevor Velinor told reporters. It's not known if those weapons were used in the attack. "He is not a prohibited person. They can legally walk into a gun dealership and acquire and purchase firearms. He did so. And he did so within the last week or so," Velinor said. Scene inside the club Pulse describes itself as "the hottest gay bar" in the heart of Orlando. Hours before the shooting, the club urged partygoers to attend its "Latin flavor" event Saturday night. The club is a vast, open space that was hosting more than 300 patrons late Saturday and into Sunday morning. People inside the cavernous nightclub described a scene of panic made more confusing by the loud music and darkness. Survivors provided dramatic accounts of how they avoided death. One person
hiding in the bathroom covered herself with bodies to protect herself. Some entertainers hid in a dressing room when the shooting started and escaped the building by crawling out when police removed the air conditioning unit. One of the bartenders said she hid under the glass bar. Police came in and said, "If you are alive, raise your hand." Then police got her and others out. After the initial shooting, police surrounded the club while Mateen was inside with clubgoers hiding in bathrooms and other parts of the building. People inside the club were communicating on their phones with law enforcement from that time until around 5 a.m., when authorities used an armored vehicle to break down the door of the building. Before Sunday, the deadliest shootings in U.S. history were at Virginia Tech in 2007 and Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012, with 32 and 27 killed. Fourteen people were killed December 2 in an attack in San Berardino, CA. President Obama called for flags to be lowered to half staff and Florida Gov. Rick Scott called for a moment of silence across the nation at 6 p.m. Sunday. States of emergency were declared for the city of Orlando and for Orange County.

"Among the two nominees right now, she is the most qualified," Cobb says. "The woman piece is the icing on the cake." For many voters, electing the first woman president is not playing a major role in their decision making. Whether in Park Ridge, where Clinton grew up, or on the South Side of Chicago, voters are turned off by both choices.
Ethan Metzger. And as Donald Trump continues to turn off members of his own party, some Illinois Republicans are hoping for a do-over. "What I would like to see when we got to the convention is that they actually amend the rules and allow the delegates - and I'm a delegate - to vote their conscience because I think Donald Trump is proving to be a disaster for us," says Pat Brady, former Illinois Republican Party chairman.
Experts say the likelihood of the rules changing during "There are a lot of reasons the Republican nominating not to vote for Trump, and process and another candialso reasons not to vote for date coming through are very Clinton," says first time voter slim.

Rebuilding Our Community
By Dr. Andrew Calhoun, Ed.D. Special to the Milwaukee Times
Looking For A Way Up It seems as if it will never end... all the senseless violence, crime, drug use and the indifference people are showing in the wake of more of the same old stuff each week. It appears as if we have lost our way or will in solving problems and getting things done for the good of society and future generations. I know that a lot has changed within our great nation and more change is on its way, but the solutions we seek and so rightly deserve are in our hands; however, we must have the courage to act upon our values and use some sound judgment.
To all those who have never lost anyone to gun violence, drug use, mental illness, lived in an urban war zone, worked in a hostile environment, grown up in a dysfunctional family or served in the US military... then it is impossible to clearly understand what it means to be on the front lines or in the trenches of society when it matters the most. As my late grandmother would say...“seeing is the believing, but experience is the knowing.” In other words, if you have not seen or gone through something that has altered your life, then try to judge other
people who have to live with the reality of what is happening; then you are simply out of sight and out of mind. What people who live in urban America really need and that will make the greatest difference in their lives is not a hand out...but a hand up. The helping hand they seek is the one that enables them to take control of their communities, begin to take the next step in opening a business, to clear the hurdle towards
meaningful employment, build bridges to strengthen relationships with neighbors or to climb the ladder of corporate America. It is to enable people to pull themselves up by seeing that they too can make it regardless of where they come from and the color of their skin. It is to know that the situation that has them trapped caused by circumstances, a lack of opportunities and resources are obstacles that can be overcome. So, can you lend me a hand?

Esteem or exploited Milwaukee is known for many things, from beer to the Bucks. Milwaukee has been a political hotbed for decades. Everyone remembers Mike McGee and the infamous Word Warrior radio show. Now Milwaukee has another onerous distinction, sex traffic hub. In a town once known as the beer capitol of the world, pimping has taken over. The
number of sex trafficking cases that have come to light in Milwaukee is disconcerting. It seems as if someone has taken a time machine and led the city back into the 1970’s. The pimp was glorified during the Black Exploitation film rage that swept the nation during that decade. To this day everyone knows who Goldie is from The Mack. It now seems as
if someone wants to resurrect the 70’s pimp. The pimp lives on a women’s misery. This may seem harsh, but it’s a true statement. A pimp capitalizes on a woman’s stupidity and low self-esteem. The increased number of positive female role models should bolster female confidence on all levels of society. It doesn’t seem to be working. There

are a high number of ignorant females who continue to fall prey to pimp wiles. Education is one factor that can offset the trap that leads to a female doing dates. Educated how and in what? Just because a female has high ACT scores and great grades doesn’t mean she is educated. To offset the lure of pimps and stripping, females have to be educated for the streets. I am not talking about ghetto interactions, but dealing with pressure from slick talkers of both sexes. Please don’t think that all sex traffickers are men. Some of the biggest pimps are females who can be just as violent. Women of all races have to build high esteem. There are too many females who suffer from low esteem. Not all low esteem women wind up on the track; some are professionals in corporate America. One thing that can be exploited is a woman with low esteem. All facets of society, from the pimp to the preacher, easily exploit low esteem women. If society wants to cut down on sex trafficking, the USA must find a way to uplift female esteem. Many people will disagree with me about esteem. Just look at how many beautiful women wind up working in strip clubs. There is noth-
ing wrong with dancing, but where does it lead? I know there are urban legends of women dancing to get through college, that’s beautiful. The majority of exotic dancers never get to college. Or if they do, it is later in life after their looks have been sacrificed to the stage. The same goes for the female who willingly or unwillingly sells her body. There are those who get out of the game and become successful. What price have they paid for this success? The number of females who are pimped and busted is high. The number of females who exploit themselves is astronomical. How much money does it take to wipe the taste out of your mouth on a physical, spiritual and emotional level? This is the question our young female population is ignoring. There is no excuse for anyone forcing a 16-year-old into prostitution. Society has to take responsibility for creating the factors that enable such situations to take place. The lack of both true education and high esteem will continue to create a faction of women for exploitation. If things keep going like they are, Cadillac will release a new Fleetwood. The standard model will come with a puff top and gangster whitewalls.

By Rev. Judith T. Lester, B.Min. M.Th
Celebration of Fatherhood (Part 2) “My son, keep your father’s commandments, and forsake not your mother’s teachings. Bind them on your heart always; tie them around your neck. When you walk, they will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you.” - Proverbs 6:20-22 According to a National Health Statistics Report: Fathers’ Involvement With Their Children In the United States (Dec. 2013), released by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), a father’s involvement in their children’s lives has been shown to have a positive effect on children and their well-being in many areas. For example, (1) on increasing the chances of academic success; (2) in reducing the chances of delinquency and substance abuse; and (3) literature review found that children whose fathers assumed 40 percent or more of the family’s care tasks had better academic achievement than children whose fathers were less involved. This report is refreshing because while past
research by the CDC on family life, which is an important contributor to public health and child development has focused exclusively on mothers; this latest data finds that the stereotypical gender imbalance in this area doesn’t hold true and dads are just as hands-on when it comes to raising their children. This month the Counseling Corner invited dads (both near and far) to share their thoughts on the statement: “What Have Been Your Greatest Joys of Fatherhood?” This week, enjoy the response from a dad who has enjoyed every minute of
fatherhood. *** The privilege and responsibility of fatherhood continue to be the single most important aspect of my life. Those who know me, know how much I enjoy ministry. The members of the Gravel Hill Church know that I consider it a tremendous blessing to serve as their pastor. On any given day, at any given moment, I stand ready to preach and look forward to preaching at every opportunity. I enjoy my work with the Sunday School Publishing Board,
Good Neighbor Mission, the Sumner County NAACP and my fraternity, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated. However, all these pale in comparison to how much I love being a father. I thank God daily for blessing me to father my sons, Umiko II, 17, Timothy, 10 and my daughter, Talia, 9. I ask Him to help me be the best father I can be, to show my sons what a real man looks like and to show my daughter how a real man is supposed to treat her. In all honesty, I have made many mistakes as a father, but my greatest joys are found in those moments when I can teach them through my imperfections. To watch them learn and grow through their mistakes, to hear them accept responsibility for their actions and to see them face challenges and succeed are unparalleled by every other personal experience. - Rev. Umiko Jones, Sr., PHR, SHRM-CP Pastor, Gravel Hill Missionary Baptist Church, Nashville, Tennessee
"When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much he had learned in 7 years." - Mark Twain Next Week: Celebration of Fatherhood Continuation The writer does not assume responsibility in any way for readers’ efforts to apply or utilize information or recommendations made in this article, as they may not be necessarily appropriate for every situation to which they may refer.

Remembering the Life of Eurial Kennedy Jordan
A Tribute for Father's Day
Today we remember Eurial Kennedy Jordan as a loving father, devoted husband, and a dedicated community leader. Eurial was born in Whistler, Alabama. Following graduation from Mobile County Training School in 1957, Eurial enlisted in the Marine Corps and served his country with honor and distinction. He completed basic training at Paris Island, South Carolina and did tours of duty in Vieques Island, Puerto Rico, and Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. After serving in the military, he attended Milwaukee Area Technical College and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He also completed professional courses at MIT and served proudly as a City of Milwaukee Police Officer for 13 years protecting his community. Eurial went on to work for years in Corrections in the State of Wisconsin where he became Regional Chief in the Division of Corrections serving in Milwaukee. Later, in the Department of Corrections, Eurial served as the statewide administrator of both the Division of Juvenile Corrections and Division of Community Corrections (Probation & Parole). As a correctional official with more
than 2,300 employees, Eurial trained and prepared his employees to be compassionate towards the “least of these� and with societal outcasts. Though he retired October 31, 2004 he continued to be active in the community by serving passionately through various civic and community organizations. He was particularly committed to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee and was a member of the Boys and Girls Booster Club LaVarnway Branch. He also served for 7 years as an appointed member of the Board of Directors for the American Association of Probation and Parole (APPA).  A great neighbor, he showed us how to be in relationship with diverse others and involved in the life of the community to bring out the best in everyone. Eurial married Fran Ashley on July 20, 1974. He was honest, a man of integrity, one who found pleasure in lending a helping hand. Eurial loved his family and instilled the values in their hearts and minds of his children; Euriael, Stephanie, Kathleen, Sheryl and Kim. To his children he was a man among men, and the best father on earth. After his retirement in 2004, Eurial and his wife relocated to North Carolina where he pursued his many interests; he was an avid reader and he especially enjoyed reading books related to politics. He enjoyed also gardening, gourmet cooking and, up until his illness, kept a golf course appearance lawn. Even in North Carolina when the weather was hot and dry and there were water restrictions, his lawn
flourished. Friends and neighbors would jokingly ask him if he was “midnight watering.� He played football in the Marine Corps and he played baseball, barnstorming through the state of Alabama, and he played for local leagues in the Milwaukee area. He was a sports enthusiast and a fan of the Chicago Cubs and Chicago Bears. His family and friends teased him about displaced loyalties to our neighbors to the south. His best friend Billy Williams played for the Chicago Cubs for many years. Eurial love spending time with his family and cooking them great gourmet meals. Eurial Kennedy Jordan departed this life on June 9, 2015 in North Carolina. His greatest commitment was to his family who deeply miss him still, as do his friends and the community of Milwaukee. Thank you for leaving us with wonderful memories that will never decay, ones that still inspire us to serve God and humanity.
-In Loving Memory, The Jordan Family

$47.8 million: MPS grads set a new scholarship record
Class of 2016 shatters Class of 2015's $39.3 million record; total up more than 20 percent The Milwaukee Public Schools Class of 2016 has earned a record-breaking $47.8 million in scholarships, the district announced Wednesday, June 15, 2016, shattering the $39.3 million record set by the Class of 2015. The total will continue
www.milwaukeetimesnews.com
to grow as more scholarships are awarded. "This record is more than just numbers. Scholarships are unlocking the doors of education beyond high school for our students, whether they are attending a two- or four-year college,"
MPS Superintendent Dr. Darienne Driver said. "Congratulations to the students, their families, school counselors, educators, support staff and administrators." Scholarships are especially critical given that more than 80 percent of MPS students
are considered economically disadvantaged. This is the fourth straight year MPS graduates have set a new scholarship record. This year's total is nearly triple the $17 million earned by the Class of 2012. Growing scholarships
and better preparing all students for success in college, career and life is critical to MPS' eight Strategic Objectives, which include Rethinking High Schools. The district has already grown the number of high school students taking college-level Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate courses by 25 percent over the past two years. MPS students, families, counselors, support staff, administrators and partners including College Possible and Milwaukee Violence Free Zone joined President Mark Sain and Director Carol Voss of the Milwaukee Board of School Directors as well as Dr. Driver for the announcement Wednesday at Bay View High School. Bay View graduates earned $2.3 million in scholarships, more than doubling the total earned by the school's Class of 2015.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently published new data on the role that American fathers play in parenting their children. Most of the CDC’s previous research on family life — which the agency explores as an important contributor to public health and child development — has focused exclusively on mothers. But the latest data finds that the stereotypical gender imbalance in this area doesn’t hold true, and dads are just as handson when it comes to raising their kids. That includes African American fathers. In fact, in its coverage of the study, the Los Angeles Times noted that the results “defy stereotypes about black fatherhood” because the CDC found that black dads are more involved with their kids on a daily basis than dads from other racial groups. In some cases, the differences between black fathers and white or Latino fathers weren’t statistically significant. Nonetheless, the fact that there’s no dramatic drop-off for African American fathers is still a surprising revelation for some people. Considering the fact that “black fatherhood” is a phrase that is almost always

Wednesday, June 22, 2016
The myth of the absent Black father accompanied by the word “crisis” in U.S. society, it’s understandable that the CDC’s results seem innovative. But in reality, the new data builds upon years of research that’s concluded that hands-on parenting is similar among dads of all races. There’s plenty of scientific evidence to bust this racially biased myth. The Pew Research Center, which has tracked this data for years, consistently finds no big differences between white and black fathers. Gretchen Livingston, one of the senior researchers studying family life at Pew, wasn’t at all surprised by the new CDC data. “Blacks look a lot like everyone else,” she pointed out. Although black fathers are more likely to live separately from their children — the statistic that’s usually trotted out to prove the parenting “crisis” — many of them remain just as involved in their kids’ lives. Pew estimates that 67 percent of black dads who don’t live with their kids see them at least once a month, compared to 59 percent of white dads and just 32 percent of Hispanic dads. And there’s compelling evidence that number of black dads living apart from their kids stems from structural systems of inequality and poverty, not the unfound-
ed assumption that African American men somehow place less value on parenting. Equal numbers of black dads and white dads tend to agree that it’s important to be a father who provides emotional support, discipline, and moral guidance. There’s one area of divergence in the way the two groups approach their parental responsibilities: Black dads are even more likely to think it’s important to financially provide for their children. Dr. Roberta L. Coles, a sociology professor at Marquette University, has also researched black fathers for nearly a decade. Her most well-known work includes The Best Kept Secret: Single Black Fathers and The Myth of the Missing Black Father: The Persistence of Black Fatherhood in America. Like Pew, Coles
Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper
has also found that even though black dads may be less likely to marry their kids’ mothers, they typically remain involved in raising their children. In an interview with the Grio, Coles explained that she’s invested in continuing to challenge the prevailing stereotypes in this area. “It’s important to get it out there that that’s not the whole picture,” Coles noted. “People need to know there are men out there trying to do their best.” That’s the same reason that Kenrya Rankin Naasel recently published Bet On Black, a collection of essays in which African American women share their stories of being raised by great fathers. “For years, we’ve all been bombarded with statistics that scream our men are
not up to the important task of fathering,” she explained in an interview with BET about her project. “Ultimately, I hope that Bet On Black challenges the rhetoric about our families and changes the conversation to one that celebrates rather than denigrates.” Despite the concrete evidence to dispel the prevailing assumptions about black dads, the conversation is still dominated by headlines like “What’s the Problem with Black Fathers?” and “Who’s Your Daddy: The Epidemic Of Absent Black Fathers.” President Obama has drawn some criticism for repeatedly delivering speeches about the importance of fatherhood to nonwhite audiences. And this past fall, when Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson’s twoyear-old son tragically passed away, the media wasted no time falling back on all the stereotypes about irresponsible black dads. The resistance to the research in the field may speak to the fact that racially motivated stereotypes are particularly hard to break out of. For instance, despite the wealth of evidence disproving Americans’ assumptions about welfare recipients, the deeply ingrained myth of the “welfare queen” remains.
Pilot study finds poorer outcomes for African Americans with rheumatoid arthritis A pilot study comparing the results of treatment for rheumatoid arthritis in African Americans and Caucasians has revealed that African-Americans are more likely to suffer pain and disability from the disorder. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis used questionnaires, physical examinations and laboratory tests to assess symptoms and disability levels in 33 African Americans and 67 Caucasians. “Both disease activity and the resulting disabilities were worse in African Americans,” says senior investigator Richard Brasington, M.D., associate professor of medicine. “Further analysis of our results showed that this was linked primarily to their socio-economic status, not to their race.”
Earlier studies highlighted poor outcomes and low self-efficacy scores among African American patients with other chronic diseases such as lupus and scleroderma. Brasington, who is on staff in the rheumatology division at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, couldn’t find any information on disparities in Differences in insurance outcome for the rheumatoid status — whether a patient arthritis patients he sees and had private insurance or pub- therefore decided to conduct lic insurance, for example — his own study. did not seem to influence patient outcomes.

Our History
Wednesday, June 22, 2016
What is Juneteenth and what does it commemorate? What is Juneteenth and why is it an important event in black history? The holiday dates back to June 19, 1865, when Texas slaves were freed well after other black Americans won their liberty. Texas declared Juneteenth a state holiday on Jan. 1, 1980, and today 36 states recognize or observe Juneteenth as a holiday. Barbecuing, sipping strawberry soda and picnicking are some of the rituals that mark the celebration. Since the 1970s, a movement has been under way to make Juneteenth an official national holiday or day of observance. Origins of the holiday President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, which freed all slaves in the states rebelling against the Union, became law on Jan. 1, 1863. Many slaves in the Confederacy heard of this presidential decree by eavesdropping on slave owners speaking with Union soldiers or by word of mouth. But not all slaves received the news that Lincoln had just turned the Civil War into a moral cause against slavery. This was the case for the slaves living in Texas. They did not hear the news until after the war had already ended. Texas was isolated throughout the war as the

Union army had no presence there, and many Confederate slave owners sent their slaves to Texas so that the Union army could not free them. When Gen. Gordon Granger entered Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865, he announced that all Texas slaves were free through an official proclamation (General Order No. 3). The state's slaves numbered around 200,000, and they responded with jubilation, holding celebrations all over Texas. Scholars and students of history have speculated as to why Texas slaves were in the dark about their emancipation over a month after the Civil War ended. Some have suggested that a courier, on

everyone contributed a dish. Some Juneteenth celebrants held prayer services and read the proclamation that had been issued by Gen. Granger to Texas slaves. The tradition of Juneteenth spread to other states, but it remained strongest in Texas. In Houston, a group of African Americans had a fundraiser to build Emancipation Park, which they used to celebrate Juneteenth (segregation had made many parks off-limits to Houston's African Americans). Another group built Booker T. Washington Park in Mexia, near Waco, for the same purpose. Decline of Juneteenth During the Great Depression and the Great Migration, the number of June-

his way to Texas to spread word about the Emancipation Proclamation, was killed before he could deliver the news. Slaves organized among themselves to send out messengers. Others have proposed that Texas slave owners wanted to plant one more cotton crop and so delayed freeing their slaves. Juneteenth celebrations African Americans in Texas continued to celebrate the anniversary of emancipation on June 19 in subsequent years. They created traditions such as taking a break from work, wearing ornamental and fine clothes as a way of repudiating the ragged clothes worn under slavery and having picnics where
teenth celebrations declined. African Americans living in urban areas often found it hard to get off work for Juneteenth. During the civil rights period, some African Americans shunned the holiday, not wanting to emphasize the history of slavery and subjugation. It may also have been seen as a less significant holiday as integration was taking place. But in the 1970s, Juneteenth began its comeback as African Americans tried to reclaim their past. Revival of Juneteenth In 1979, an African-American state representative from Houston, Al Edwards, proposed that Texas make Juneteenth an official state holiday. His legislation passed, and as of Jan. 1, 1980, Texas was the first state to observe Juneteeth as a holiday. Juneteenth today Today, many African Americans across the United States celebrate Juneteenth through the traditions of picnicking and barbecuing but also through prayer services, African arts and crafts sales, concerts and parades. As of 2010, 36 states observe Juneteenth in some way, and groups have been formed to urge the federal government to make Juneteenth a national holiday or day of observance.

AN EXPLORATION OF OUR LIVES AND LEGACIES!
Milwaukee Brewers celebrate the history and achievements of the Negro Leagues with tribute game By William S. Gooden Special for the Milwaukee Times Saturday, June 25, 2016 marks a day of honor and celebration by the Milwaukee Brewers, as they pay tribute to the legends of the historic Negro Leagues. During their game against the Washington Nationals, the teams will take the field wearing the traditional Negro Leagues uniforms, honoring both the pride and legacy of the Negro Leagues’ players and their important contributions to the game of baseball. The history of the Negro Leagues The Negro Leagues were United States professional baseball leagues comprising of teams predominantly made up of African Americans and, to a lesser extent, Latino Americans. While the leagues had existed in various forms, it wasn’t until the 1920’s, when former pitcher, Andrew “Rube” Foster, owner of the Chicago American Giants, established the Negro National League (NNL) and its governing body, the National Association of Colored Professional Base Ball Clubs (NACPBB), in Kansas City, MO, which is why Foster is often referred to as the “Father of Black Baseball.” The league was originally comprised of eight teams, Chicago American Giants, Cuban Stars, Dayton Marcos, Indianapolis ABCs, Kansas City Monarchs, and the St. Louis Giants. Unlike previous versions of the league, the NNL teams were credited for delivering profits and pride while remaining in the black community, hence the 1920’s to the 1930’s is often noted as the “Golden Era” of the Negro Leagues. The soaring popularity of the leagues led to the EastWest Negro Leagues All-Star Game, which was played each year at Comiskey Park, in Chicago, IL. In all, eleven (11) Negro Leagues World Series were held, with the historic franchise, Kansas City Monarchs, the first-ever winner. During this era the league showcased many star players, including future Negro League Hall of famers Leroy “Satchel" Paige, George “Mule” Suttle, Smokey Joe Williams, Oscar Charleston, Cool Papa Bell, Norman Thomas “Turkey” Stearnes, Josh Gibson, Buck Leonard, Jackie Robinson, Judy Johnson, Martin Dihigo, John Henry Pop Lloyd, Hilton Smith, Bullet Joe Rogan, Willie Wells, and
The Chicago American Giants Monte Irvin. Along with the success came many new opportunities for players and owners, even opportunities for women. Newark Eagles Manager, Effa Manley, is cited as the first woman owner of a Negro Leagues team; and Mamie “Peanut” Johnson was one of three known women of the era to play in the league, along with Toni Stone and Connie Morgan. Toward the end of the 1930’s the league began to see a decline in numbers of attendees; however, that was soon to change. World War II With the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the United States was thrust into World War II. Remembering World War I, black America vowed it would not be shut out of the beneficial effects of a major war effort: economic boom and social unification. With many of the Major League Baseball players signing up to fight overseas in Europe or Southeast Asia, the Major Leagues began to look unrecognizable. The Negro Leagues (as well as other niche teams) stepped in to fill the void for America’s favorite past time. While the Negro Leagues reached their highest plateau, millions of black Americans were working in war industries and, making good money, they packed league games in every city. Business was so good that promoter Abe Saperstein (famous for the Harlem Globetrotters) started a new circuit, the Negro Midwest League, a minor league similar to the Negro Southern League. The Negro World Series was revived in 1942, this time pitting the winners of the eastern Negro National League against the Midwestern Negro American League. It continued through 1948 with the NNL winning four championships and the NAL three. Integration era Judge Kenesaw M. Landis, the first Commissioner of
An NCON Communications Publication
Major League Baseball, was an intractable opponent of integrating the white majors. During his quarter-century tenure, he blocked all attempts at integrating the game. After Landis’ death in 1944, Happy Chandler was named his successor. Chandler was open to integrating the game, even at the risk of losing his job as Commissioner. He later said in his biography, “I could not in good conscience tell black players they couldn’t play baseball with whites when they’d fought for their coun-
Jackie Robinson try.” In March 1945, the white majors created the Major League Committee on Baseball Integration. Its members included Joseph P. Rainey, Larry MacPhail and Branch Rickey. Because MacPhail, who was an outspoken critic of integration, kept stalling, the committee never met. Under the guise of starting an all-black league, Rickey sent scouts all around the United States, Mexico and Puerto Rico, looking for the perfect candidate to break the color line. His list eventually was narrowed down to three, Roy Campanella, Don Newcombe and Jackie Robinson. On August 28, 1945, Jackie Robinson met with Rickey in Brooklyn, where Rickey gave Robinson a “test” by berating him and shouting racial epithets that Robinson would hear from day one in the white game. Having passed the test, Robinson
signed the contract which stipulated that from then on, Robinson had no “written or moral obligations” to any other club. By the inclusion of this clause, precedent was set that would raze the Negro Leagues as a functional commercial enterprise. Pressured by civil rights groups, the Fair Employment Practices Act was passed by the New York State Legislature in 1945. This followed the passing of the Quinn-Ives Act banning discrimination in hiring. At the same time, NYC Mayor La Guardia formed the Mayor’s Commission on Baseball to study integration of the major leagues. All this led to Rickey announcing the signing of Robinson much earlier than he would have liked. On October 23, 1945, Montreal Royals president Hector Racine announced that, “We are signing this boy.” Early in 1946, Rickey signed four more black players, Campanella, Newcombe, John Wright and Roy Partlow, this time with much less fanfare. After the integration of the major leagues in 1947, marked by the appearance of Jackie Robinson with the Brooklyn Dodgers that April, interest in Negro League baseball waned. Black players who were regarded as prospects were signed by Major League teams, often without regard for any contracts that might have been signed with Negro League clubs. Negro league owners who complained about this practice were in a no-win situation: they could not protect their own interests without seeming to interfere with the advancement of players to the majors. By 1948, the Dodgers, along with Cleveland Indians, had integrated. The Negro League experienced deterioration as its stars were recruited into the Majors starting in 1948, a year after Jackie Robinson signed with National League Brooklyn Dodgers. The final full season of the Negro Leagues was in 1960. Hank Aaron One of the Negro League stars that was drafted was MLB Hall of Famer, and Milwaukee’s own, Hank Aaron. While still in his junior year of high school, Aaron first joined the Pritchett Athletics, followed by the Mobile Black Bears, an independent Negro League team. He would later be signed to the Indianapolis Clowns of the Negro American League where he played three months. Aaron
Hank Aaron would eventually sign a deal with (the then) Milwaukee Braves and began his career jumping to various minor league teams. But it wasn’t until 1954, during the spring training that Aaron began his Major League career with the Milwaukee Braves replacing an injured player and ended up hitting his first home run for the team. By the end of spring training the Milwaukee Braves signed him to a major league contract and a Braves uniform with the number five. On April 13, Aaron made his major league debut. Aaron would move with the team to Atlanta where he would achieve a number of historical milestones in his career before moving back to the Milwaukee Brewers. During his time with the Brewers, Aaron broke the home run record hitting 755 home runs. The record had been long held by the great Babe Ruth, and Aaron’s record would not be surpassed until 2007. Honoring the legacy of the Negro Leagues In his Baseball Hall of Fame induction speech in 1966, Ted Williams made a strong plea for inclusion of Negro League stars in the MLB Hall of Fame. After the publication of Robert Peterson’s landmark book Only the Ball was White in 1970, the Hall of Fame found itself under renewed pressure to find a way to honor Negro League players who would have been in the Hall had they not been barred from the Major Leagues due to the color of their skin. At first, the Hall of Fame planned a “separate but equal” display, a plan that meant that the Negro League honorees would not be considered members of the Hall of Fame. This plan was criticized by the press, the fans and the players it was intended to honor, and Satchel Paige himself insisted that he would not accept anything less (Continued pg. 15) www.milwaukeetimesnews.com

(Continued from pg. 14) than full-fledged induction into the Hall of Fame. The Hall relented and agreed to admit Negro League players on an equal basis with their Major League counterparts in 1971. A special Negro League committee selected Satchel Paige in 1971, followed by (in alphabetical order) Cool Papa Bell, Oscar Charleston, Martín Dihigo, Josh Gibson, Monte Irvin, Judy Johnson, Buck Leonard and John Henry Lloyd. (Of the nine, only Irvin and Paige spent any time in the Major Leagues.) The Veterans Committee later selected Ray Dandridge, as well as choosing Rube Foster on the basis of meritorious service. Other members of the Hall who played in both the Negro Leagues and Major League Baseball are Hank Aaron, Ernie Banks, Roy Campanella, Larry Doby, Willie Mays, and Jackie Robinson. Except for Doby, their play in the Negro Leagues was a minor factor in their selection: Aaron, Banks, and Mays played in Negro Leagues only briefly and after the leagues had declined with the migration of many black players to the integrated Minor Leagues; Campanella (1969) and Robinson (1962) were selected before the Hall began considering performance in the Negro leagues. From 1995 to 2001, the Hall made a renewed effort to honor luminaries from the Negro Leagues, one each year. There were seven selections: Leon Day, Bill Foster, Bullet Rogan, Hilton Smith, Turkey Stearnes, Willie Wells, and Smokey Joe Williams. In 1991 a separate Negro Leagues Baseball Museum opened in Kansas City, MO. www.milwaukeetimesnews.com

The Homestead Grays (1940s) will be donned by the Washington Nationals, while the Brewers don the uniforms of the Milwaukee Bears (1923). Fans will have a chance to own an authentic, game-worn uniform by bidding that day, with proceeds to benefit the Negro Leagues charities. This year’s honorees will include William L. McCrary, Roosevelt Jackson, and Ray Knox. Other activities scheduled around the game include a NLTG pre-game tailgate starting at 12:00 noon, Little Leagues All-Stars (RBI & Beckham Stapleton) skills demonstrations; a Negro Leagues Great/Honorees Autograph Session, the Miller Park On-Field Negro Leagues Great Ceremony, the official ‘First Pitch’ and game starts vs. Washington Nationals at 3:10 p.m., and Negro Leagues Greats Autograph Session inside Miller Park/
