Gilbert Brown Foundation and AT&T Wisconsin Pioneers team up to offer 9th annual all-pro football camp

On Tuesday, July 8, 2014, the Gilbert Brown Foundation and the AT&T Wisconsin Pioneers teamed up once again to hold a free football camp for Milwaukee youth at North Division High School from Tuesday, July 8 to Thursday, July 10. This is the ninth year that Gilbert Brown offered the All-Pro Football Camp in Wisconsin.

“Through the All-Pro Football Camp, we hope to not only teach kids the skills they need to succeed on the football field, but give them life building skills as well,” said Gilbert Brown (back row, right). “The camp is one of the highlights of my year, and I’m excited to offer it again in 2014 for the ninth year.”

Gilbert Brown's All-Pro Football Camp is open to children between the ages of 8 and 17. A morning session (8:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. for 8 to 12 year olds) and an afternoon session (2:00 - 5:30 p.m. for 13 to 17 year olds) will be offered each day.

Photo by George Neal State Senator Lena Taylor (back row left) attended the July 8 morning session of the camp to help kick off activities for the youth. “Gilbert Brown has proven himself to be a tremendous role model for the youth in our community,” Senator Taylor said. “Not only does this camp provide them with the opportunity to build skills on the football field, but Gilbert helps them develop positive personal skills they can use off the field.”

The camp is made possible in part each year through a $1,000 donation from the AT&T Wisconsin Pioneers to the Gilbert Brown Foundation.

Pioneers also help to put on the 3-day camp each year, working as coaches, volunteering at the registration and food tents, and helping to provide security. The Pioneers are a local volunteer organization of AT&T employees and retirees dedicated to volunteering their time to various community causes.

Efforts to break the cycle of poverty highlighted at Housing Authority annual meeting

Photos by George Neal

The Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee held its Annual Meeting on Wednesday, July 9, at the Adult Learning Center, 1916 N. 4th Street, Milwaukee, from 9:30 to 10:45 a.m. The meeting highlighted successful Housing Authority programs that help break the cycle of poverty, and featured remarks from community leaders, including Mayor Tom Barrett.

Although the Housing Authority provides both public housing and vouchers for low-income residents to live in private housing, the agency does much more. A number of programs provide Milwaukee families with tools to break the cycle of poverty through homeownership, education and workforce development.

Specifically, the homeownership program this year marks two decades of supporting families through the process of saving for and buying a home. More than four hundred low-income families

– the majority of whom were previously living in public housing – have benefited and moved to homeownership since the program’s inception.

At this year’s meeting, four new families benefiting from the program were introduced. In addition, the daughter of the program’s first homeowner 20 years ago spoke about the impact of the program on her family’s life.

The Annual Meeting also highlighted the announcement of the Milwaukee iCenter—a new, innovative information technology training center which will take people step by step from a GED to a new career in information technology. The iCenter is a partnership between the Housing Authority, Milwaukee Area Technical College, Milwaukee Area Workforce Investment Board, and Milwaukee Public Schools.

Dr. Driver appoints MPS comptroller as chief of staff; veteran administrator is new acting chief innovation officer

Erbert Johnson named to chief of staff post; Ruth Maegli will oversee district innovation efforts Milwaukee Public Schools Acting Superintendent Darienne Driver has appointed MPS Comptroller Erbert Johnson to serve as Chief of Staff — and veteran administrator Ruth Maegli will serve as Acting Chief Innovation Officer, effective July 1.

Johnson, who has more than 30 years of financial services and administrative experience in both the public and private sectors, oversaw accounting services, payroll and bond issuance for the district in his role as comptroller. He also serves on the board of the Froedtert Hospital Foundation and recently completed a term on the governing board of the Rotary Club of Milwaukee. Johnson came to MPS in 2013 after working in the private-sector for eight years, including five years as President and CEO of NMSBank. Prior to his private-sector work, he served as chief financial officer for Milwaukee Public Schools and the Cleveland Metropolitan School District.

Johnson plays a key leadership role as chief of staff for the district and its 160 schools. His financial background and experience in the business and foundation communities strongly complements Dr. Driver’s background in instruction and school administration.

“As someone who spent his entire K-12 educational career in Milwaukee Public Schools, it is an incredible

MPS Acting Chief Innovation Officer Ruth Maegli honor to be able to use my skills and talents to serve the children of this community, many of whom are the sons and daughters of my family and friends,” said Johnson, who attended LaFollete School and graduated from Milwaukee Tech High School, now Harry and Lynde Bradley Technology and Trade School.

Maegli has worked as a teacher, principal and district administrator in MPS for more than 25 years, most recently directing the district’s $20.4-million GE Foundation grant to develop demonstration schools that model successful implementations of the rigorous Common Core State Standards for other schools in the district. Prior to that work, she spent more than 11 years as a principal in MPS, leading Elm, Garland and Whittier schools. Maegli began her ca-

MPS Chief of Staff Erbert Johnson reer as an art teacher in the district, working at schools including 81st Street, Engleburg and Siefert.

As acting chief innovation officer, Maegli will take on the role Dr. Driver held prior to being named acting superintendent. MPS’ chief innovation officer oversees the district’s charter schools, its research efforts and the GE grant work along with the Commitment Schools effort to transform 14 underperforming MPS schools.

“I am looking forward to working in a district leadership role to use innovative approaches to improve education at all schools and improve achievement for all students,” said Maegli, who is also a product of MPS. She graduated from MPS’ Alexander Hamilton High School.

Ray Nagin, former New Orleans mayor, sentenced to 10 years in prison New Orleans, LA - C. Ray Nagin, the former mayor of New Orleans, was sentenced to 10 years in prison on Wednesday, July 9, 2014 on federal corruption charges, ending a case that began with the rebuilding of the city after Hurricane Katrina.

The sentence was less than the recommended 15 years, but Judge Ginger Berrigan of United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana told the court that the evidence failed to show that Mr. Nagin had organized or had been a leader of a corruption scheme.

“Mr. Nagin claimed a much, much smaller share of the profits of the crime than any other member of the group,” Judge Berrigan said, referring to the businessmen who profited from the scheme. The judge said

C. Ray Nagin that Mr. Nagin’s leadership was much needed after Hurricane Katrina but that it had also been lagging.

Prosecutors objected to the sentence, a move that could set up an appeal.

Mr. Nagin, who will remain out on bond, hugged family and friends after the sentencing, and was quickly driven away from the courtroom.

“I’m trusting God is going to work all this out,” he said during sentencing. The judge ordered him to report for prison no later than Sept. 8.

Reaction was swift, and mixed.

“I think that he got off lightly considering the violations of the public trust,” said Edward E. Chervenak, a political science professor at the University of New Orleans and a critic of Mr. Nagin during his eight years as mayor.

“I think he should have gotten more time,” says Michelle Alford, 37, a native of New Orleans and a hotel employee. “He did nothing to benefit the city. I think he should have gotten 20 years at least. I think it’s ridiculous.

It’s ridiculous.”

Mr. Nagin, a Democrat, was found guilty in February

Emergency food stamps available to those without power FoodShare benefits available to families to replace food destroyed by the loss of electricity Individuals and families still coping without power in the Milwaukee area are eligible for emergency FoodShare (food stamps) benefits to replace food purchased with FoodShare benefits that was spoiled due to lack of refrigeration or freezing.

The Milwaukee area experienced heavy storms on Monday, June 30 and as of July 2 many areas are still without power. Households without power are able to report the loss of food purchased with FoodShare benefits within ten days of the loss (by July 10, 2014), either verbally or in writing. To do so, one needs to complete a “Request for Replacement FoodShare Benefits” and they must also provide proof from WE Energies that they experienced an extended power outage.

For example: Kevin is a single individual receiving FoodShare monthly in the amount of $200. Kevin completes the Affidavit of on 20 counts, most relating to kickbacks from contractors looking for city work.

He was arrested in January 2013, nearly three years after he left office. He was charged with taking kickbacks in the form of cash, cross-country trips or help with the familyrun granite countertop company; the bribes were handed out by men looking for city business ranging from software supplies to sidewalk repair. Many of the schemes, though not all, took place after Hurricane Katrina, when contractors crowded into the city for rebuilding work.

Many of those involved eventually pleaded guilty and testified at length against Mr. Nagin at his trial.

The corruption had been so thoroughly covered in the local news media that few people were surprised by the verdicts in February.

Mr. Nagin had come into office in 2002 as a reformer from the business world and a foe of cronyism. But the city grew frustrated with his stewardship, particularly in his second term when the rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina stalled and Mr. Nagin seemed unengaged. By the time he left office in 2010, many in New Orleans had moved past frustration and were simply ready to see him go.

Throughout the trial the courtroom was half-empty, except for a riveting two days when Mr. Nagin took the stand and denied everything, at times with a glib dismissal.

At one point he even refused (Continued on pg. 16)

destroyed food stating his food spoiled due to a power outage on June 30, and he lost $100 worth of food purchased with his June FS benefits. The worker would verify the power outage with WE Energies and his replacement benefit amount would be $100.

Hunger Task Force staff are available to assist with the Request for Replacement FoodShare Benefits form. Staff are available at the Coggs Center, 1220 W. Vliet Street, Robles Center, 910 W. Mitchell Street and UMOS at 2701 S. Chase Ave. They are available Monday – Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. For proof of power outage, WE Energies can be reached 24 hours a day at 800-662-4797.

50th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964

By Ralph Hollmon President & CEO Milwaukee Urban League As we commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, we must never forget the vision and courage of those who worked to ensure its passage and we know that some of them made the ultimate sacrifice.

I also want to thank and commend James Santell and his colleagues in the U.S. Attorney’s office for organizing this program today – and I know that I speak for my colleagues, James Hall, NAACP: Tony Baez, The Centro Hispano; and many other community organizations when I say – we are very pleased to be a part of celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Act, which many consider the most important piece of legislation of our time.

Clearly, since the passage of this Act, “doors of opportunity” have been opened and progress has been made in many sectors. For example: • We have more African American elected officials

than ever before; • We have more African American executives and professionals working in corporate America; • We have more African Americans who have dominant roles in the world of sports and entertainment; • We have an African American United States Attorney General – Eric Holder; • And, yes, our Commander in Chief, President Barack Obama is an African American.

But, in spite of this progress – 50 years after the Civil Rights Act – we still have a “tale of two cities.” We have some people who are doing well – if not very well. On the other hand, we have people who are mired in generational poverty and hopelessness.

In too many of our urban areas across the country, we have crime, violence, unemployment and other disparities that negatively impact a person’s quality of life. To help illustrate this point – let’s look at a few of the conditions right here in Milwaukee: • University of Wisconsin

Ralph Hollmon – Milwaukee Professor Marc Levine has reported in his studies that nearly 50 percent of the working age African American men are unemployed in Milwaukee’s central city.

• A University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee Employment and Training Institute study found that Wisconsin leads the nation in the percentage of African American men that it incarcerates.

The vast majority of African American men in Wisconsin reside in Milwaukee.

• Data shows that Milwaukee is one of the top 10 cities with the highest poverty rate in the nation.

CHILD WATCH

• Not long ago the National Assessment of Public Education, or NAPE, studies show that Wisconsin has the worst 4th grade reading levels for African American students in the nation.

In addition, when we consider that too many of our students, whether in public, charter or choice schools, are not performing academically at grade level – it paints an alarming, dismal picture for the future.

You know, in the 1960’s, during the Civil Rights Movement, we fought for the right to sit at the lunch counter.

But now, with the poor academic achievement levels of many of our students – I fear that some may not be able to read the menu when they sit at the lunch counter.

So, as we commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Act, we must remain vigilant in the following areas: • First, we must work hard to preserve the integrity of the Voting Rights Act – which allows every citizen the opportunity to participate in the process of determining our leaders – both locally and nationally.

• We must work hard to combat discrimination and ensure that all citizens are treated fairly – and given equal access to opportunities that our great nation offers.

• Second, we must figure out more effective ways to help those mired in poverty and hopelessness.

• We must help everyone, especially our students understand the value and importance of getting a good education.

• We must help the unemployed get training so they are better prepared for the jobs that exist in our 21st century economy.

• And finally, we must find a way to stop the gun violence and self-destructive behavior of young black men killing each other. We must reach our young men and show them that there are alternatives to guns, violence and premature death.

If we are not vigilant in these areas – if we don’t maximize our resources and work together on these issues – we will not be successful in preserving the progress – the legacy – of this Historic Civil Rights Act of 1964.

By: Marian Wright Edelman President of the Children's Defense Fund

Breaking the code of silence “I found my voice long before I became a writer in community organizing.

That’s where I found my voice, where I was able to take all that pain and transform it into something useful in the world, and I never looked back.” Michael Patrick MacDonald is a storyteller.

Michael recently encouraged the crowd of young leaders at the Children’s Defense Fund Freedom Schools’® National Training to understand the power of storytelling to create change.

His first book, All Souls: A Family Story from Southie, became a national bestseller and won an American Book Award; and All Souls and its follow-up Easter Rising: A Memoir of Roots and Rebellion have captivated readers with their accounts of his childhood in South Boston’s Old Colony housing project and the poverty, crime, and addiction that devastated his Irish Catholic neighborhood and killed four of his siblings.

He said All Souls begins with a description of an event he organized in his own community: “I organized an All Souls Day vigil to get the neighborhood to start to come out and to tell the truth about all the deaths in the neighborhood, from murders, overdoses, all of the things that we didn’t

Michael Patrick MacDonald talk about, all of the things that we pretended didn’t exist. South Boston held the highest concentration of White poverty in America, and I grew up in the housing projects there in a family of 11 kids. Of the 11 kids, we lost four, plus a sister who was crippled in a fight over pills and was pushed off a roof in the projects.

But the others all died from poverty and violence as well.

My mother was shot as well, and all the years you would go through that stuff, and all of our neighbors were going through that stuff, we were strangled by this code of silence where you were never

able to talk about it. You weren’t allowed to talk about this stuff because our neighborhood was controlled by organized crime, but also because the neighborhood was in a state of denial, choosing to believe what the media says—that this stuff doesn’t happen here, this stuff happens ‘over there,’ to ‘those people.’ That’s Black and Latino people, in particular.

[South Boston] is very well known for the race riots of the 1970s, when the neighborhood broke into racist riots over desegregation in the city of Boston, but had an awful lot in common with those neighborhoods that we

were trying to keep out— an awful lot in common in terms of class.”

Michael knew the code of silence in his neighborhood very well because it was the way he was brought up. In his own family he was “the quiet one” of the 11 children, and as each of his four brothers died he initially felt “kind of stunned speechless.” But when he started working “over there” in some of Boston’s other neighborhoods he realized he wasn’t the only one holding a story inside— and learned how much more power people had when they started letting their stories out and sharing them with each other. “I decided to write a memoir after years of doing community organizing, especially with a lot of mothers of murdered children, from around the city of Boston— from Roxbury, Dorchester, Mattapan, the Black and Latino neighborhoods, as well as eventually South Boston and Charlestown, the poorer White neighborhoods . . . and I would organize these press conferences or rallies, and I’d push them to the microphone to get them to tell their stories. I saw what happened to them when they told their stories in whatever amount that they wanted to and were capable of telling—how it changed them,

and it was also changing the world.”

Michael could see the impact these mothers were having on their communities, especially by speaking out against gun violence.

He could also see that sharing their stories was helping reduce their own risks of suicide, alcoholism, drug addiction, and need for revenge against the people who had taken their family members’ lives, and breaking their silences was even changing them in other ways: “They had a really powerful strength, and they completely changed from ‘high-risk’ people to really powerful people . . . I saw what it did for them . . . and then they started to push me out to the front to the microphone, and I would give little bits of my story, and tell of my siblings that were killed, and eventually wanted to tell more and more because I started to feel what it does for you.” By the vigil he described at the beginning of his book he was both organizer and participant, one of the last people to step to the altar to light a candle and recite the names (Continued on pg. 4)

Breaking the code of silence (Continued from pg. 3) of each of his own lost brothers—“I stopped and took a deep breath. Then I spoke up. Davy, Frankie, Kevin, and Patrick, and for all souls.”

Michael ultimately learned a lesson that he compared to reading Howard Zinn’s beloved classic A People’s History of the United States: “When I even just saw the title of that book and started to think about what ‘people’s history’ means, that means that all of us have to tell our stories, and that’s ultimately a people’s history—and the more we can encourage that in young people, the more we will have a more complete story.” Readers everywhere have been grateful for the ways Michael Patrick

MacDonald has helped complete South Boston’s story, and he says as he continues to travel and talk about his own writing he’s learned the idea young people connect with most is how powerful it can be to share their own stories and the “possibility of transforming trauma into voice.” It’s a critical lesson for all young people and for all of us—and especially for those who’ve experienced some of the same kinds of family and community poverty, violence, and addiction, for whom breaking silences and realizing they are not alone can be life-changing.

Rebuilding our Dr. Andrew Calhoun, Ed.D. Community BySpecial for the Milwaukee Times Freedom riders Our American history is full of men and women of all races who have played a significant role in shaping what it means to be a true American and for civil rights.

Some of them became quite noticeable for their efforts, while others worked in the background and became great supporters of the movements. At the time, what they did or the service provided was not history, but nevertheless became history simply because they believed in their dreams and ideas. It was because of their passion to do something; to speak out at rallies, to walk over bridges, ride a train, take a seat on a bus, sit down at a restaurant counter, or even ride buses on interstates hundreds of miles to challenge the non-enforcement of federal laws which ruled that segregated public buses were unconstitutional, especially in the south. These events were truly remarkable to just make something happen, regardless of the consequences.

en who boarded buses and attempted to travel across the segregated south to bring attention to the need for the federal government to enforce the laws that outlawed racial segregation in restaurants and waiting rooms in interstate bus terminals. Of course those laws were being ignored by southern states and the Interstate Commerce Commission failed to enforce the rulings and yet Jim Crow travel laws remained in force throughout the South.

On May 4, 1961, the first Freedom Ride left Washington, D.C., and was scheduled to arrive in New Orleans on May 17. This first ride included 13 people, seven black and six whites. Their route included rides through Virginia, North/South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi and ended in New Orleans. They experienced some trouble in Virginia, but things became more challenging in the

Carolinas, where some were arrested. The most difficult period occurred in Birmingham, AL when the riders were attacked by white mobs and the KKK, all the while the local police stood by. As a result, several of the riders had to be hospitalized and thus ended the bus ride and they flew directly to New Orleans from Birmingham.

What happened in Birmingham did not stop the Freedom Riders, for soon after more rides were organized, and with national and world wide attention, more new riders came and this time they were from nearly every state in the country.

The new riders met with more trouble, attacks, imprisonment, a bus burning, confrontations, especially in Alabama and Mississippi. But in the end nothing stopped the beauty of the idea, shared commitment and the dedication of those who were willing to pay a price to change a nation to honor its laws and to hear its people. What do you think?

The Counseling Corner

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

Breaking the chains: The danger of self-deception (Week 2) The overall emphasis this month is breaking the chains.

Due to space restrictions, we will only focus on the Danger of Self-Deception and Breaking the Self-Serving Spirit. Perhaps later this year we will revisit the topic of breaking the chains. But for the time being, we will pick up where we left off last week. In continuation of the Danger of Self-Deception, this week we will list three ways to break this destructive shackle.

1. Re-adjust your thinking. In order to break the chain of self-deception, one must re-adjust their thinking. The Apostle James links specific acts of disobedience to rationalizations born of spiritual blindness. Consider James 1:13 “When tempted, no one should say, 'God is tempting me.' For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone.”

Oftentimes we blame our shortfalls and see ourselves as victims of the Almighty.

This is a deceived view com-

paring truth and ourselves.

James wrote: “But each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed.” (James 1:14). We are enticed by our own evil desires. This is what happens to us when we are hearers of the word only - we “deceive our own selves.” (James 1:22). We must re-adjust our thinking and accept full responsibility for our behavior! God does not tempt us neither does the devil make us, do anything. We are free moral agents capable of making our own decisions. The devil did not make us do it! Rather we are victimized by our own immature faith and lust of the flesh! William Shakespeare said, “To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.” If one is to escape the bear trap of self-deception, he/she must re-adjust their thinking!

2. Renew your thinking.

One of the most common threads of self-deception is how persons see themselves - either self-aggrandizement

or helplessness. Either we take all of the credit for our successes or we blame someone else for our failures. This view swallows up any sense of personal responsibility for creating or perpetuating the problem and obliterates the possibility that we are participating in any way.

But this sadly is the fruit of self-deception and consistent with how self-deception is described in the book of James. After all, if we do not see how we played a part, especially, in getting ourselves deeply rooted in bad situations, then we feel no responsibility for the helplessness.

Escaping and abandoning self-deception begins with a willingness to admit that we are self-deceived. Self-deception is more than an abstract term that describes someone who refuses to see the truth.

It is a concept that accounts for how it is possible to be blinded to truth. We can be certain God does not intend for us to be spiritually blinded to divine truth. So, when one is blinded to the truth it is because that person chooses to be and is a hearer of the word and not a doer. One must renew their thinking.

Paul said in Romans 12:2, “Be not conformed to the patterns of this world and be transformed by the renewing of our minds so that we my discern what is good and pleasing, and perfect will of God.” Renewed thinking comes from a renewed mind.

3. Reconsider your commitment. Every day God gives you and I another opportunity to reflect over our life and take an honest inventory of it. James’ concern is for the believer who is living a lie! Faith has to be more than mere ceremony and ritual. Authentic faith is more than turning to God in the time of crisis or paying a periodic and occasional visit to the church. We must reconsider our commitment to the things of God. (See James

1:26-27).

Beloved, the bottom line is, we must reassess and review what it really means to be followers of the Christ!

We are called Christians for a reason. The hymn writer raised this question for all of us: “Am I a soldier of the cross, a follower of the Lamb? Do you fear to own his cause, or blush to speak his name?” This month you are encouraged to search out and clean out and essentially get a checkup from the neck up. If you find yourself shackled by self-deception, pray for God to rid you of this heavy burden.

Next Week: Self-Serving Spirit The writer does not assume responsibility in any way for readers’ efforts to apply or utilize information or recommendations made in these articles, as they may not be necessarily appropriate for every situation to which they may refer.

Rather, the objective is strictly informative and educational. If you would like to contact Rev. Lester, write to her c/o P.O. Box 121, Brookfield, WI. 53008.

S 3879 North Port Washington Road Milwaukee, WI 53212

REV. MURPHY PLEASANT, SR. June 7,1922 -March 10, 1987 I often think of my Daddy with his wonderful ways, interestingly quirky manners and that serious deep-tone voice, which said "quit playing . " He was the definite life of any party and there were many milestones and surprise celebrations along the way. When Murphy Jr. and I attended Lloyd Street Elementary School, Fridays were special. As soon as Daddy hit the door from Motor Castings, we jumped him, playfully wrestled him to the floor and "confiscated" all the coins that fell from his pockets. It wasn't until years later we learned that He purposefully got extra change just for those moments. We had big fun as morals, character, integrity, and worth were being forged through love and discipline. In repeated teaching moments and knowing the frailty of human nature, Daddy would often admonish me by saying "Think twice before you speak and three times before you act."

Countless negative situations and circumstances have been adverted just because I heeded his words. Often smiling to myself and saying "Thank you, Daddy. I hear you. It isn't worth it . " Overtime, I realized this temperament gives control to the individual that regards those words. Imagine if more Daddies of today would present and say to their offspring "Think twice." Perhaps, shootings, crimes and [this] foolishness would plummet because (like mine) Daddy was a man at horne who invested himself, in his children .

What’s Happening?

A partnership is helping youngsters on summer vacation remain fed. The Summer Food Program is now feeding school age children at sites located across the Milwaukee area.

The annual effort is a collaboration of organizations that include the Social Development Commission, the Hunger Task Force, Boys & Girls Clubs, Milwaukee Public Schools, West Allis/West Milwaukee Schools, the Salvation Army and Heartlove Place. The effort prepares and delivers meals to sites across the area where children spend the months of summer vacation.

The goal of the program, which is supported by the Kohl’s Foundation, is to provide food to youth who during the school year rely on school meals to keep from going hungry. 1,900 meals a day are prepared at the Social Development Commission’s Food Service program and delivered to summer program sites.

Those meals include breakfasts, lunches, snacks and dinners. A new addition for the Summer Food Program this year is a brunch served at five Milwaukee Recreation sites.

The meals are prepared at SDC with the help of 16 Earn and Learn youth who are getting paid while gain-

Keeping youth fed during the summer

New initiative to provide all students access to great educators

U.S. Department of Education Launches ‘Excellent Educators for All Initiative’ As part of its efforts to ensure that all students have equal access to a quality education, recently the U.S. Department of Education is announcing the launch of the Excellent Educators for All Initiative. The initiative will help states and school districts support great educators for the students who need them most.

“All children are entitled to a high-quality education regardless of their race, zip code or family income. It is critically important that we provide teachers and principals the support they need to help students reach their full potential,” U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said. “Despite the excellent work and deep commitment of our nation's teachers and principals, systemic inequities exist that shortchange students in high-poverty, high-minority schools across our country. We have to do better. Local leaders and educators will develop their own innovative solutions, but we must work together to enhance and invigorate our focus on how to better recruit, support and retain effective teachers and principals for all students, especially the kids who need them most.”

The announcement is another important step forward in improving access to quality education, a component of President Obama’s year of action. Absent Congressional action, the President is moving forward on behalf of vulnerable children and families. Later, Secretary Duncan will lead a roundtable discussion with principals and school teachers from across the country about the challenges of working in highneed schools and how to incorporate promising practices for supporting great educators in these schools.

The three-part Excellent Educators for All Initiative includes: Comprehensive Educator Equity Plans • The Department is asking states to analyze their data and consult with teachers, principals, districts, parents and community organizations to create new, comprehensive educator equity plans that put in place locally-developed solutions to ensure every student has effective educators.

• Chief State School Officers will receive a letter from Secretary Duncan asking them to submit their new plans by April 2015. These plans were first created in 2006 and are required by Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.

Educator Equity Support Network • The Department is investing $4.2 million to launch a new technical assistance network to support states and districts in developing and implementing their plans to ensure all students have access to great educators.

• The network will work to develop model plans, share promising practices, provide communities of practice for educators to discuss challenges and share lessons learned with each other, and create a network of support for educators working in high-need schools.

Educator Equity Profiles • To empower communities and help states enhance their equity plans, the Department will publish Educator Equity profiles this fall. The profiles will help states identify gaps in access to quality teaching for low-income and minority students, as well as shine a spotlight on places where high-need schools are beating the odds and successfully recruiting and retaining effective educators.

• In addition to the profiles, the states will receive their complete data file from the Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC). States will be able to conduct detailed analyses of the data to inform their discussions about local in-

equities and design strategies for improving those inequities.

Research indicates that students’ race and family income often predict their access to excellent educators. Low-income students and high-need schools tend to have teachers who have less experience, credentials and a track record of success. In Louisiana, the percentage of teachers rated highly effective is 50 percent higher in low-poverty, low-minority schools than in high-poverty, high-minority schools. Similarly, in Tennessee, the percentage of teachers rated highly effective is 33 percent higher in schools with low-poverty and minority student populations than high-poverty, high-minority schools. In North Carolina, highly effective teachers are 50 percent more likely to leave a disadvantaged school than an advantaged school.

Nationally, according to the Department’s Civil Rights Data Collection, black and American Indian students are four times as likely as white students to be enrolled in a school with more than 20 percent first year teachers, and Latino students are three times as likely.

The Education Department’s actions are about ensuring every child has access to a high-quality educator.

The Department’s commitment to equity in education underlies all of its activities from the My Brother’s Keeper Initiative, Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) flexibility, and School Improvement Grants, to its Race to the Top - Opportunity proposal, among others.

Personal Finance & Business

By Jason Alderman Director of Visa’s financial education programs

Read contracts carefully before signing If you always stop to read the fine print before signing anything, congratulations – your parents trained you well. If you don't, beware: Your signature could commit you to a long-term gym membership you don't really want, an apartment you can't afford or worst of all, paying off someone else's loan you cosigned.

Broadly defined, contracts are mutually binding agreements between two or more parties to do – or not do – something. It could be as simple as buying coffee (you pay $3 and the restaurant agrees to serve you a drinkable beverage), or as complex as signing a 30-year mortgage.

Once a contract is in force it generally cannot be altered unless all parties agree. And, with very few exceptions (e.g., if deception or fraud took place), contracts cannot easily be broken.

Before you enter a contractual agreement, try to anticipate everything that might possibly go wrong. For

example: • After you've leased an apartment you decide you can't afford the rent or don't like the neighborhood.

• Your roommate moves out, leaving you responsible for the rest of the lease.

• You finance a car you can't afford, but when you try to sell, it's worth less than your outstanding loan balance.

• You buy a car and only later notice that the sales agreement includes an extended warranty or other features you didn't verbally authorize.

• You sign a payday loan without fully understanding the terms and end up owing many times the original loan amount.

• You buy something on sale and don't notice the store's "No returns on sale items" policy.

• You click "I agree" to a website's privacy policy and later realize you've given permission to share your personal information.

• You buy a two-year cellphone plan, but after the grace period ends, discover that you have spotty reception and it will costs hun-

dreds of dollars to buy your way out.

Cosigning a loan can be particularly risky. If the other person stops making payments, you're responsible for the full amount, including late fees or collection costs.

Not only will your credit rating suffer, but the creditor can use the same collection methods against you as against the primary borrower, including suing you or garnishing your wages.

Still, there may be times you want to cosign a loan to help out a relative or friend. The Federal Trade Commission's handy guide, "Co-signing a Loan," shows precautions to take before entering such agreements (www.consumer. ftc.gov).

A few additional reminders: • Ensure that everything you were promised verbally appears in writing.

• Make sure all blank spaces are filled in or crossed out before signing any documents –including the tip line on restaurant and hotel bills.

• Don't be afraid to ask to take a contract home for more careful analysis or to get a second opinion. A lawyer or financial advisor can help.

• Don't be pressured into signing anything. If salespeople try that tactic, walk away.

(Be particularly wary at timeshare rental meetings.)

• Keep copies of every document you sign. This will be especially important for contested rental deposits, damaged merchandise, insurance claims, extended warranties, etc.

• Take along a "wingman" if you're making an important decision like renting an apartment or buying a car to help ask questions and protect your interests.

• Be wary of "free trial" offers. Read all terms and conditions and pay particular attention to pre-checked boxes in online offers.

Bottom line: Contracts protect both parties. Just make sure you fully understand all details before signing on the dotted line.

Chicago woman brings peace to city’s streets

With their brightly colored mats spread along a sidewalk, Tameka Lawson’s yoga students try to follow her instructions: concentrate on their breathing and focus on the beauty of their surroundings.

But this is Englewood, one of Chicago’s most dangerous neighborhoods, where streets are dotted with boarded-up houses and overgrown lots, and residents are as familiar with the crackle of gunfire as the chime of an ice cream truck. So while the students stretch their arms to the sky, a man the size of a refrigerator stands guard over the class.

It seems odd, all these slow movements, deep breathing and talk about being centered in a neighborhood ruled by drug-dealing gangs. It’s simply the latest attempt to curb violence in a city where the number of homicides and guns seized leads the nation.

The hope is that yoga’s meditative focus will help cooler heads prevail the next time violence or vengeance looms.

The students “live in an environment where everything’s rushed, everything’s pressured. So if you breathe through certain things, you are able to see clearer. You really are,” said Lawson, executive director of a nonprofit group called I Grow Chicago. “Then they can act rather than react.”

The idea has even caught the attention of police. At least one officer has made Lawson’s class part of an anti-violence program for at-

risk youths.

With yoga training, “when they get in a tense situation, they can breathe and relax and make the right decision instead of jumping out at someone and hitting them,” officer Daliah Goree said.

Students attest to the calming effect yoga has in an urban landscape of shifting rivalries and constant suspicion.

“I had a lot on my mind, and 10, 15 minutes (of yoga) eased my mind a whole lot,” said Karl Mables, 25, after taking the class for the first time.

Lawson taught yoga at area schools for three years before bringing it to this street earlier in the year. She knew gangs might pose a threat.

So before the sessions began, the man standing guard, Andres Brown, approached gang members who live nearby to assure them that the group posed no threat and sought their OK. As Lawson’s students take

their places on the mats, neighbors watch from a nearby porch. She leads the class through a series of moves, asking them to reach as high as they can and bend slowly until they touch the ground.

They’re supposed to breathe in as they reach up and exhale on their way down.

The students go through similar moves while sitting, kneeling and lying down and sometimes put their hands together as if in prayer.

“Look at the sky, look at the beauty of nature and breathe in,” she tells them in a soothing voice. When they bow, she adds, they’re “bowing to the beauty of your Englewood community.”

The group does what she says, quietly, though some of the children get antsy and start to make moves that are a lot quicker and seemingly intended to get a laugh.

But when 32-year-old Daisy Flowers warns, “You ain’t getting no candy,” the hands of her 6-year-old niece and

those of her young friends are suddenly back together in the prayer position.

Not surprisingly, just a few of her students are men or teenage boys.

“Guys think it’s for women (and) they say, ‘I’m not doing that’,” said Brown, an I Grow Chicago employee and yoga practitioner who stood in the street to remind passersby that the teacher and her class were not alone — a message made clear by his 6-foot-5, 250-pound frame and black T-shirt that read “Real Men Do Yoga” on the back.

Everyone here understands that getting young men and teenage boys involved is key if there is any chance of using yoga to reduce violence.

But Lawson and others have hope.

“This can help because some people riding past, slowing their cars down, maybe next time, you will have people park their cars and get out and want to do yoga,” Mables said.

Lawson thinks perhaps it already has.

Not long ago, she said, after a shooting a block away, a young man who has been taking yoga did what young men around here instinctively do: He ran to the scene.

But he soon returned to the building that houses I Grow Chicago and grabbed a hot dog from the snacks that are offered.

“He didn’t respond” to the violence, Lawson said. “He was able to think and process the situation and come back.

That’s all we ask.”

Ray Nagin (Continued from pg. 2) to recognize his own signature on receipts that federal prosecutors displayed on a large screen.

In a court filing urging a stiff sentence, federal prosecutors had described Mr. Nagin’s testimony as “a performance that can only be summed up by his astounding unwillingness to accept any responsibility,” and listed in detail 22 instances in which they said he had lied on the witness stand. As they had at trial, prosecutors also contrasted Mr. Nagin’s attention to detail in some of the kickback schemes with what many came to see as his lackadaisical stewardship in office.

“These repeated violations, at the expense of the citizens of New Orleans in a time when honest leadership was needed most, do not deserve leniency,” wrote Matthew M. Coman, an assistant United States attorney.

Robert Jenkins, the lawyer representing Mr. Nagin, had urged leniency, arguing that Mr. Nagin has a “completely sterling record” outside of the convictions and that the behavior described at trial is a “complete aberration to his otherwise outstanding life.”

The deadly disease black men aren’t talking enough about An estimated 5 percent of the world’s population has COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and in the U.S., COPD is the third leading cause of death after cancer and heart disease.

For black men, COPD could be a double whammy death risk according to one recent study.

Researchers at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston found that COPD is a much greater lung cancer risk factor for Black men than for White.

African Americans are more likely to de-

velop and die from lung cancer than any other racial/ethnic group.

The lung cancer risk assessment designed specifically for African Americans confirms that COPD presents unique lung cancer risk factors for African Americans.

Avoid these common tooth brushing mistakes One would think that knowing how to properly care for the teeth is common knowledge, but the average person makes tooth brushing blunders daily. Here are some of the most common tooth brushing mistakes and how to correct them for a better oral hygiene routine.

Using the wrong toothbrush When purchasing a toothbrush, size matters! A brush that is too big in size or made of the wrong types of bristles can cause damage to the teeth if too hard or be ineffective in removing plaque if too soft. A toothbrush should feel as comfortable in your hand as holding a fork when you eat. The handle should be comfortable and the head should be

a toothbrush. The bristles should be hard enough to remove plaque but soft enough not to harm the teeth.

Not brushing often enough or long enough The average person only brushes once a day in the morning before the start of the day, but dentists recommend brushing at least two to three times daily. Waiting too long between brushes can cause bacterial plaque buildup, which can boost the risk of gum inflammation and other problems. Brushwide enough to fit into your ing should last a total of two mouth comfortably. If your minutes, breaking up the mouth is opening wide and mouth into four quadrants straining to get the brush and using 30 seconds of corin, then that is a sign that rect brushing in each to get the toothbrush is too big. the teeth clean.

The hardness of the bristles Brushing too hard matter as well when picking Brushing too hard can ex-

pose the root of the tooth to irritation, and in turn, irritate the gums. Brushing vigorously with too much force can erode tooth enamel.

Brushing gently for two to three minutes is ideal.

Not brushing correctly The average person makes the mistake of brushing in a horizontal line across the teeth, but the correct way to brush is vertically or softly in circular stokes. Long, horizontal brushes along the gum line lead to abrasions.

Using the right sized brush with the correct bristles and performing the correct brush stroke two to three times a day for two minutes will help keep your teeth fresh and clean throughout the day!

Make these slight changes and see how your oral hy-

“The one size fits all risk prediction clearly does not work,” said Carol Etzel, Ph.D., assistant professor of epidemiology at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.

Black men with a prior history of COPD had a more than sixfold increased risk of lung cancer. This is approximately two-fold higher than the risk typically seen from COPD among whites.

10 things black men need to know about COPD Startling research and statistics are a great place to start talking about COPD, but to keep the conversation going (and hopefully preserve lives), here are 10 COPD facts Black men need to know now.

1. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a blanket term for lung damaging disorders that make breathing difficult. There are two types of COPD: chronic bronchitis (the most common) and emphysema.

2. Smoking is the greatest risk factor for COPD, accounting for 80 percent of all COPD deaths.

3. Other causes of COPD include: environmental toxins (e.g., biomass fuels), recurrent lower respiratory tract infections, second hand smoke, severe asthma that may evolve into COPD and family history.

4. Nearly 12 million Americans with COPD don’t know they have it.

5. Chest tightness, frequent shortness of breath and coughing, difficulty sleeping, wheezing, weight loss and chronic fatigue can all be symptoms of COPD. 6. If you are exhibiting any symptoms associated with COPD, see your doctor immediately. Your doctor will perform lung function tests and prescribe medications if COPD is the diagnosis.

7. There is no cure for COPD. 8. To decrease your risk of COPD or slow its progression, quit smoking if you are a smoker and if you don’t smoke never start.

9. Daily exercise, improved nutrition and following your doctor’s treatment plan are all ways to manage your COPD and improve your well-being.

10. One in five Americans over the age of 45 years old has COPD.

Our paralysis (Continued from pg. 13)

of hopelessness are a defining characteristic of an “underclass personality”. Stated differently, feelings of hopelessness are a part of growing up poor. There is a direct relationship to poverty and hopelessness and there is a direct relationship to poverty and the enslavement of our people (where you start matters, especially economically).

Too many of our children are born in impoverished families and neighborhoods and lag behind developmentally this too contributes to our hopelessness.

Research indicates that poverty is related to perceived feelings of failure and predicts hopelessness.

In addition, the data also attributes the increased levels of violence and violent behavior. Hopelessness, especially amongst our youth, suggests that failure is a part of their future and they are more likely to engage in risky behaviors, including increased substance use, high risk sexual activity, and accidental injury. I’m not a psychologist or a doctor, but I don’t believe the hype and the myth that Black people are born inferior. With only five to six generations removed from slavery, I’m wise enough to know that in order to fully grasp the magnitude of our current problems, and we must examine the role slavery has played.

For those of you who don’t accept slavery as a significant and current damaging theme, you must accept the role that poverty has played in the life of Black people. A large and growing population of Black people has less hope of escaping poverty and the dysfunction and the consequences of poverty than at any time since emancipation and today’s generation is riddle with a heavy sense of hopelessness.

So given these very humbling conditions, what do we do? Most of our people can do nothing. There is a group that has some capacity to provide leadership to our people, but they too are paralyzed because many of them are too busy trying to assimilate into a White America. When I was growing up, all around me there were civil rights fights to get Blacks into different business and government sectors where we didn’t have any representation. Those efforts produced the first Black (i.e.

Mayor, Councilperson, CEO, Judge, Police Chief, etc.) and in some situations, like Philadelphia, today every key political position is held by a Black person. The problem is that this group has no idea how they were even elected nor do they connect their current position with the struggle for self-determination of Black people. What’s

more staggering is that those these people now serve are predominantly Black people and they have adopted the same strategies that used by their former White predecessors. What does a young teenage Black boy who is now arrested and abused by Black police officers, tried

by Black District Attorneys before Black judges, imprisoned and mistreated by Black wardens and prison supervisor? Our young people are extremely confused because they lack the historical context by which they feel the same sting as their parents and grandparents – the difference is that Blacks, in some cases, carry out the punishments. Not only is this intellectually and emotionally challenging – it contributes to our collective sense of hopelessness.

If we didn’t have enough division in our community, because of the growth of government and public sector jobs, our middle class grew over the past 50 years and we are now divided by class. Many in our middle class have been unconsciously been co-opted by the lure of full participation in the American dream. Since the loss of manufacturing jobs in most of the cities where we live, the biggest employers of the Black middle class have been the public and nonprofit sectors. Today, we find ourselves not participating in the private sector in any meaningful way. News Flash! There is a significant and alarming disparity between White and Black middle class – none bigger than “net wealth.” No matter how much you work, it’s extremely difficult, if not impossible, to amass wealth when you’re an hourly employee especially when you work for government or a nonprofit organization. In addition, no matter how well you do, a good job is not transferable to your children. Today, we have the fastest exodus of the middle class and for the first time in our history, our children are doing worst that their parents (a cornerstone of the American way).

Is it just a coincidence that while we have had modest growth by one segment of our community while a large segment of our community has worsened both socially and economically? Blacks are still nearly completely absent in the private sector.

If you take the top 5,000 corporations and you examine the number of Board of Directors and CEO Suite Participation (i.e. 10 Deci-

sion Makers), you might have nearly 150,000 positions – how many do you think are Black? Guess what, we represent 14 percent of the population but have less than 1 percent participation in these companies. But this is the tip of the iceberg because even when Blacks are working in the private sector – there is a big gap between where they are and being at the top of these organizations (the pump is not primed to change these outcomes for some time over the next 15 – 25 years).

This condition has also withered to anemic numbers the Black Small Business which further ensures that wealth will be more elusive going forward for Black people.

There are several unintended ramifications of this imbalance (public vs. private sector), including, but not limited to the following: • Blacks not being able to fully utilize government for the self-determination of its people - this was the intention of the movement; • Blacks increase government employee connected Blacks to a skewed political process. Black politics were compromised by interest of government employees; • Blacks increase government employees now connected to the union movement and its activities which were not necessarily aligned with the Black agenda because many unions have systematically shut out Blacks (i.e. building trade unions, etc.); • Blacks increase as government employees has decreased our entrepreneurial and independent skills. Too many of our talented saw the public sector as a viable career path and the result is that we have too many of our talented having a dependency on government versus a having a private and independent skills to achieve the same outcomes (we have very few who can transfer to the private sector and be successful after being in the public sector); Blacks increase government employees fundamentally have politically compromised our agenda. Black elected officials have used the power and influence of government employees to advance the agenda of the unions and/or the agenda of elected officials.

Today we have Black elected officials that are hard-

pressed to make “hard” and smart decisions that would threaten and/or anger their base (unions) but instead adopt “easy” and stupid decisions that either kicks the problem down the road or that don’t/won’t empower the Black community. We also have our most upper and economically mobile not championing Black independence and in many cases hold disparaging ideas and racist stereotypes about our people (i.e. violent, lazy, criminal, looking for handouts, etc.).

And we keep asking why our young people don’t vote – they don’t vote because they see what is going on and they don’t like it. They see how their own people are doing them wrong –political apathy is a sure sign of hopelessness.

In spite of these and other issues that contribute to our sense of hopelessness, there is a pathway that could seriously change the trajectory going forward and it lies in our ability to unite – I call it “functional’ unity. Much of our hopelessness is captured in the fear we inherited, and what we see on a daily basis.

The last couple of weeks, I've attended several meetings regarding our community and there seems to be a tremendous groundswell of consciousness that “something must be done” to address our issues. The sense of urgency is growing. However; during many of these meetings, the presenters expertly identify our issues and challenges then close with “our community must come together.” However; none have articulated how this is to happen. In fact, there are

never any real discussions on what the next steps should be on how we come together. Coming together can't be the footnote but the entire agenda. Why is this so difficult? Why is this so elusive?

Let me very blunt and ask you – who’s going to save the Black man in America, if not ourselves?

There is no other group, species, or higher power that will do the work on behalf of Black people and Black children – but Black people. Yes those same Black people that you critique at every level and fundamentally have relegated to the lowest level; those same Black people you don’t trust; and yes those same Black people you call “nigger” - that nigger ain’t …. (fill in the blank). We must stop looking for the faults and the negatives in our people (we all have them) that give you a reason (excuse) from not locking arms together with your brother. Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King stated that our power lies in our unity and our leaders must lead by example. Those that consider themselves leaders must come together and create a “table” where we can begin to discuss these issues.

In Philadelphia, I’ve been leading an effort to organize our community call “The Philadelphia Community of Leaders (PCOL).” PCOL is an attempt to unite our community and place the strategies of organizing and mobilizing of our people at the forefront. Going forward, I will keep you posted.
