African American male incarceration in Milwaukee and Wisconsin: The numbers (and the people) don’t lie

By Carmen A. Murguia Once again, Milwaukee and Wisconsin people are talking to one another from all walks of life including diverse professions, religions, cultural and economic backgrounds, and neighborhoods about the need for drastic change, honest examination, and action. Only this time it isn't about racial segregation in our city, and it isn’t the racial disparities for Black children, it is the disturbing rate of mass incarceration of African American males in Milwaukee and Wisconsin and what are we as a community going to do about it.

Hosted by the Helen Bader Foundation, a fourth in a series panel discussion on incarceration of black males and its profound impact took place at their Third

Ward offices, this time to explore the connection between incarceration and access to employment opportunities. Other topics held prior to this month’s discussion included: Incarceration and Education; Incarceration and Families, and Incarceration and Youth.

According to panelist Dr. Lois Quinn, Senior Scientist, Employment and Training Institute at UW-Milwaukee and co-author of the report released in 2013, she confirms Milwaukee County as having more than half of African American men in their 30’s and half of Black men in their early 40’s having been incarcerated in state correctional facilities, and Wisconsin’s unenviable distinction of having the highest per capita incarceration rate of African American males in

On Thursday, September 11, 2014 Sheriff David Clarke joined St. Marcus School students and staff for a silent walk to MFD Engine 21 fire station for a 9/11 observance. The students gathered in front of the station while the principal made brief remarks, and the Milwaukee County Sheriffs Office (MCSO) Honor Guard stood at attention, along with members of the MCSO Command Staff. The bells tolled at St. Marcus to commemorate the lives lost on 9/11. Sheriff Clarke also addressed the attendees, and the students gave the fire fighters handmade thank you cards for their service to the community.

On Sunday, September 14, 2014, The Milwaukee Exposure and Explorer Project (MEEP) held their 5th annual luncheon at the Four Points Sheraton. MEEP’s purpose is to provide central city children with opportunities and exposure to different resources that will enable them to develop skills necessary for a successful future. Founder and director Lilly Simmons presented certificates to mentors who have donated time visiting Bryant Elementary School and Carson School of Math and Science.

Appeals Court reinstates Wisconsin's voter ID law

By William S. Gooden, Special to the Milwaukee Times In a stunningly fast decision, a federal appeals court in Chicago reinstated Wisconsin's voter photo identification law on Friday, September 12, 2014 — just hours after three Republicanappointed judges heard arguments on reactivating the hotly debated law in time for the November election.

In a brief order, a threeRep. Gwen Moore judge panel of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago said, "The State of Wisconsin may, if it wishes ... enforce the photo ID requirement in this November's elections."

Wisconsin officials wasted no time in saying they would do just that.

Under the 2011 measure, those arriving at polling stations must produce a government-issued ID with a photo to vote. Because of legal challenges, the requirement had not been enforced since the February 2012 primary.

Mayor Tom Barrett Wisconsin's Republican governor, Scott Walker, heralded the court's decision as a victory for his state.

"Voter ID is a common sense reform that protects the integrity of our voting process," he said in a statement released by his office.

"Today's ruling makes it easier to vote and harder to cheat."

However many local civil rights organizations expressed their disappointment and outrage in the decision.

The Milwaukee Branch NAACP president James H. Hall, Jr., released a state- James H. Hall, Jr., Esq. ment saying, " NAACP still believes it is a bad law and a otherwise would be voters." discriminatory law and has The ACLU of Wisconsin the potential to disenfran- said, "We are very disapchise many individuals who pointed in the irresponsible

decision to lift the injunction against Voter ID, which will cause chaos and disruption for voters and elections workers for the November election. The state has not demonstrated it is prepared to make this new ID scheme work. The new procedures were presented at the last second and it is unclear whether or how they will work in time to ensure that eligible voters are actually able to vote. It has not demonstrated how it will train 1,852 municipal

clerks and tens of thousands of poll workers, as well as notifying voters of the new rules. We will continue to review and closely monitor this decision."

Many local politicians echoed the same sentiments.

In a press release by Rep. Gwen Moore she said, “I am disappointed and appalled that Republican-appointed judges on the Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit are permitting Governor Walker’s discriminatory voter ID

law to go forward. The decision is even more frustrating knowing that the preeminent judge on the 7th Circuit, Judge Richard Posner, has publicly stated his mistake in supporting voter ID laws in the past, calling them ‘a type of law now widely regarded as a means of voter suppression rather than of fraud prevention.’ I agree with Judge Posner and firmly believe that the Wisconsin voter ID law is meant (Continued on pg. 15)

Wisconsin DMV issuing free photo ID cards for voting purposes

By Urban Media News This November, voters will be required to show a Wisconsin" or United States -issued photo ID before they are allowed to cast a ballot.

With less than fifty days until Election Day, voters who don’t already have a Wisconsin - or United State - issued photo ID need to start making plans immediately to obtain an acceptable form of ID for voting purposes.

On Friday, September 12, 2014, the U.S Seventh District Court of Appeals reinstated Wisconsin’s photo ID law, which requires voters to present a Wisconsin - or United States -issued photo ID before casting a ballot.

In the decision, the court allowed the state to put the law into effect immediately for the upcoming November elections, less than two months away.

The law, originally approved by Gov. Scott Walker and the Republican-controlled legislature back in 2011, is a misguided attempt to solve the non-existent problem of in-person voter fraud. Since taking office three years ago, Scott Walker has been a strong advocate of the law, often repeating the outrageous claim that the law makes it “easier to vote and harder to cheat.”

Studies have repeatedly shown that in-person voter fraud—individuals pretending to be someone else at the polling station in order to vote more than once— is virtually non-existent. A 2012 national survey funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, found only 10 cases of in-person voter fraud since 2000. With 146 million registered voters in the United States during that time, those 10 cases represented about one out of every 15 million eligible voters.

At best, the new law is a solution in search of a problem; at worst, it’s an underhanded plot to keep voters from turning out in Democratic strongholds like Milwaukee and Madison.

Even if this wasn’t an electoral scheme that Scott Walker and Republican lawmakers laid out behind closed doors and are now celebrating as electoral reform, the added requirement of a photo ID flies in the face of the long and bitter struggle for voting rights in the United States. It is unbelievable that in 2014 this is a fight that we must continue to wage just to enjoy our constitutional right to vote in free and fair elections.

The hurdle is a bit higher, but it isn’t too high to clear.

Scott Walker will be a one term governor if voters begin preparing now to obtain an acceptable form of identification in order to cast a ballot.

Just as civil rights leaders showed their outrage through marches and demonstrations, voters should plan to express their collective disapproval of this law at the ballot box in November.

Scott Walker and others who support this law do not want seniors, veterans and minorities to vote in elections this year and into the future. On November 4th, voters will affirm that their voices cannot be silenced.

For those who are angered by this law, or frustrated by the failings of Scott Walker and Republicans over the past three and a half years, the time is now to make plans to obtain an ID card in order to vote.

If you already have a valid Wisconsin - or United States -issued photo ID, please note that the address listed on your card does not have to match your voting address.

In fact, the ID does not have to have an address listed on it at all.

If you do not have a valid Wisconsin - or United States - issued photo ID, effective Monday, September 15, the

Department of Transportation is issuing free ID cards for voting purposes.

Applicants can only apply for free ID cards at a DMV Service Center.

The Wisconsin Identification Card Application requires a social security number and documents that prove the applicant’s identity and where they live.

Examples of acceptable documents for proof of identity at the DMV include a birth certificate, valid U.S. passport or passport card, military discharge papers, U.S. government and military dependent identification card, social security card, or a pay stub with your name and entire social security number listed.

Examples of acceptable documents for proof of Wisconsin residency at the DMV include paychecks, stubs or earning statements with your employer's name and address issued within the last 90 days, utility bills for water, gas, electricity or land-line telephone service issued within the last 90 days, cell phone bills issued in the last 90 days, original copies of deed/title or mortgage or rental/lease agreement for Wisconsin property, or original copies of a current valid homeowner’s, renter’s or motor vehicle insurance policy dated within one year of application.

For more information on the photo ID application process and acceptable documents for proof of residency and identity visit www.dot. wisconsin.gov/drivers/drivers/apply/petition-process. htm; or call the Wisconsin Division of Motor Vehicles identification card for voting hotline at (608) 266-1069.

Don’t sit at home on election day, make plans to visit a DMV right away, and prepare to send a message to Scott Walker and Republicans that they will never be able to take away your vote.

The time is now to make sure you’re prepared under the new law to vote for Democratic candidates up and down the ticket who support expanding voting rights—not restricting them.

MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN The Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper Louvenia Johnson Luther Golden Nathan Conyers (1981-2008) (1981-2005) (1981- ) Lynda J. Jackson-Conyers, Publisher Jacquelyn D. Heath, Editorial Page Editor ert Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., major city riots, marches, draft dodgers, urban blight and an expanding social service network.

Those were tough times and a lot of people who lived through those days have not forgotten the cost, pain and suffering that they and their families endured. Trying to find a way to heal, move for-

ward or just to survive took real acts of courage and faith.

And just like a page from history, Gaye's song resonates and speaks volumes of what most Americans feel today in 2014. You can’t make this stuff up. This “stuff ” just makes you want to “holler.” Marvin Gaye's song covers it all... “inflation, bills piling up, send boys off to die, hang ups, let downs, bad breaks, setbacks, can’t pay my taxes, throw up both of my hands, crime increasing, trigger happy policing, panic is spreading, and God knows where we’re heading.”

At the end of the song, Marvin closes out with a reference to a higher power.

He goes on to say... “God bless you and the Lord keep you, and may you live, live, live a good life... God bless you, Lord keep you and may you live, live, live a long, long sweet life, ... don’t let the things get you down, hold your hands, baby, walk around... Say God bless you and I’ll keep you, I’m praying a prayer for each and every one of you... Heaven bless you.” It is truly amazing that this song from the 1970’s has a place with us today. In so many ways this song continues to speak to us today and echoes our “inner city blues.”

The Counseling Corner

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

The future is now! Connecting with the young adult generation (Week 3) In most congregations, there is a great disconnect when it comes to the young adult generation. To relink with this generation, church leaders must be mindful of the issues the young adult generation grapples with, what’s relevant in their world and provide guidance to these young adults as to how they can connect their world with the gospel of Jesus Christ. In other words, young people want practicality and relevancy. In Matthew 24:3-7 the Scripture records “As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately.

‘Tell us,’ they said, ‘when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?’ Jesus answered [simply]: 'Watch out…'” To be watchful not only means to just recognize the times, but it is also imperative church leaders know what to do and be ready to act accordingly. (1 Peter 5:89). In continuation of this series, this week this writer will look at the place and in-

fluence of technology as one of the most important factors that will keep young people engaged.

In an article this writer published in the National Baptist Voice, titled: The Future of Ministry (2013), it was noted: “Baby Busters and Millennials are living at a time where technology is continuing to evolve.

This ‘futuristic’ group has no use for an analog church in a digital world. The internet has provided them with the opportunity to: • Access to global information; • Stay connected through the use of social media; • Attend internet church; • Receive newsletters electronically; and • Participate in internet giving.

"The church can stay abreast of the times by developing a plan to review and bring-to-date the church’s website, updating the church’s logo and, reviewing the church’s mission statement to ensure it is

conveying its message effectively. Often a church continues to embrace a mission statement whose message is not one that will attract the un-churched or the younger generation. The by-product of incorporating media and executing a plan to minister to a techno-savvy and fastidious generation will not only prove to be transformative but the church becomes better stewards of God’s resources.” (J. Lester, Future of Ministry, National Baptist Voice, 2013).

Furthermore, many congregations overlook the fact that the next generation of churchgoers are wired for service. They are looking for a place of worship that

knows its purpose, who is concerned about human needs and community service. Young adults will become frustrated with a ministry that is judgmental, appears stuck in neutral and there is the appearance of the absence of progress. Young adults also want to be challenged.

They want and need face-toface connections with a real person in order to get their attention to get involved in ministry and service causes.

If young people are not challenged, they will never respond to the call for service.

Why? Because they don’t know there is a call without a challenge.

Beloved, the bottom line is if church leaders think they can just hand young adults a latte and the church continues to ignore them as the church goes about its business of conducting business as usual, they are in for a rude awakening. This age group will not stick around.

Besides that’s no way to treat

the future of the church! Just like the adults, these young adults not only yearn for Jesus; but they are armed with passion for justice, energy, ideas and a multitude of gifts and talents just waiting to be appreciated and utilized.

These young adults also come with their own needs.

They need to be nurtured and loved. They need a safe place to ask questions. They need respect for who they are and what they are struggling with. They need to be listened to with dignity and with respect. They also need a place where they can connect their values with their actions in the world.

Next Week: Conclusion 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.

What’s Happening?

Happy 90th Birthday Dr. Finlayson A birthday celebration was held in honor of Dr. William E. Finlayson, an obstetrician and gynecologist, at his home in River Hills, Wisconsin. Dr. Finlayson, along with some business colleagues, pooled their resources to established the city's first black owned bank, North Milwaukee State Bank. Finlayson was also noted for delivering over 40,000 babies during his medical career. Pictured with Dr. Finlayson are Congresswoman Gwen Moore(left) and Finlayson’s daughter Shelia(right). In attendance at the event were children (now adults) delivered by Dr. Finlayson as well as the mothers, who were his patients.

Congratulations, Dr. Bill on your 90th Birthday!

On Bladensburg Road along the border of Prince George’s County, MD, and Washington, D.C., a billboard reads, “57 percent of District of Columbia students drop out.” The billboard is large and imposing, with an orange backdrop and bold diagonal dashes on each side to mimic a road-hazard sign.

Many would find the content of the sign to be consistent with the frequently cited report “The Urgency of Now: The Schott 50 State Report on Public Education and Black Males,” by the Schott Foundation, which states that Washington, D.C., has a graduation rate of 38 percent for black males.

To be blunt, the message on the billboard is a lie, and technically, the percentage of students who drop out has only a little to do with the percentage that graduates.

Yes, this is counterintuitive, but I will explain more later.

The high school dropout rate in D.C. is less than 10 percent for all students, and 14 percent for black males.

The Schott Foundation’s observation that the graduation rate for black males is 38 percent is accurate. However, since most people do not know the difference between the graduation rate and the dropout rate, the report is misrepresented far more than it is accurately presented. Anyone doing an analysis of demographic trends in the D.C. metro area understands that any measure of cohort graduation rates will be influenced by the outmigration of black people from the city core.

Across the nation, most parents of schoolchildren are bombarded with dropout and graduation statistics that are very upsetting. The numbers as typically presented imply that either the public school system is woefully inadequate in meeting the educational needs of black students or black students have incredible problems adjusting to a normal school environment.

Many parents will respond to these numbers by removing their child from the school system, inadvertently making the numbers worse. When a child leaves a

high school to attend a high school in another district before he or she graduates, the graduation rate for the entire district goes down.

Civic leaders in Washington, D.C., should be concerned about the quality of education for all, the availability of affordable housing and many other issues.

However, civic leaders who believe that 62 percent of black males, and 57 percent of all teenagers and young adults, are out of school and on the streets without a high school diploma will probably promote misguided practices, blaming stigmatizing and extreme agendas.

What is the difference between a graduation rate and a dropout rate?

This is the boring technical stuff, but it’s essential for gaining an understanding of graduation rates and dropout rates. Independent analyses of graduation rates, such as the Schott Foundation report, estimate graduation rates by dividing the number of students receiving diplomas by the number of students beginning high school four years earlier. This method yields a national graduation rate of 47 percent for black males and 78 percent for white males.

The National Center for Education Statistics tracks dropout rates for the U.S. population using the Current Population Survey (CPS).

The “event dropout” rate refers to the percentage of 16- through 24-year-olds in the U.S. who withdrew from grades 10 to 12 within the last 12-month period. The NCES estimates the current “event dropout” rates for black students to be 6.4 percent, compared with 2.3 for white students.

NCES uses the CPS to provide an estimate of the “status dropout” by surveying the proportion of the population who are between the ages of 16 and 24, are not enrolled in school, and have not earned a high school diploma or graduate equivalent. The current “status dropout” rate for black males is 8.7 percent, compared with 5.4 percent for white males and 19.9 percent for Hispanic males.

So you're getting a pacemaker (part 1 of 2) The heart device is meant to make people more – not less – active

If you have a heart rhythm disorder, you may have considered getting a pacemaker – but you’re wary of having a small electronic device implanted inside your chest. Is it worth it?

Ongoing heart rhythm problems make some patients faint and blackout.

They can sap people’s strength and sideline them from activities like sports. In these cases, pacemakers may allow them to participate more fully in life. Here are some device basics and how life changed for three people with pacemakers: Wake-up call on the tilt table Bill Rushmore, 44, a software engineer in Pittsburgh, had his first fainting spell in his mid-20s while serving in the Navy. With unexplained fainting several times a year, he was discharged from the military and his Pennsylvania driver’s license was revoked – even though most episodes occurred while he was in bed.

In November 2013, Rushmore traveled to the autonomic laboratory at

Cleveland Clinic, where he underwent a tilt table test.

“I ended up passing out, and they found my heart had stopped for about 38 seconds,” he says. He was immediately scheduled for pacemaker implantation for his condition, called vasovagal syncope. “Obviously, at first I was pretty frightened,” he says. “I figured life would change forever.” But when the staff showed him the result from his electrocardiogram – including the flat lining – it was hard to argue.

The pacemaker is contained in his chest, up near his shoulder, and a keloid scar marks the insertion site.

A monitor beside his bed automatically tests the pacemaker every so often – he doesn’t need to hook it up – and the results go directly to Cleveland.

Rushmore is sleeping better and can drive again. He’s been able to resume CrossFit workouts with minor adaptations. He’s a little bummed that he’s had to give up super-heavy weightlifting of more than 400 pounds a pop

– but he’s glad to be free of heart-stopping episodes at night, and the aftermath of feeling weak, nauseous and “lousy.”

Is a pacemaker right for you?

In a healthy heart, electrical currents stimulate the muscle to beat properly. A normal resting rate is about 60 to 100 beats per minute, although a very fit person might have a rate in the range of 40 to 60.

But when the timing of the electrical circuit isn't working right – causing the heart to beat erratically, too slowly

or too quickly – that's when a pacemaker can help. Slow cardiac rhythm conditions are the most common reason people get pacemakers, says Daniel Cantillon, a physician who specializes in cardiac electrophysiology at the Cleveland Clinic.

The sinus node, in the right upper chamber of the heart, is where normal electrical activity begins. Sinus node dysfunction (sometimes called sick sinus syndrome) is the most common reason for pacemaker implantation in the U.S.

Other possible indications include heart block, atrial fibrillation, congestive heart failure and some childhood heart conditions. In tachybrady syndrome, the pulse can race up to 160 beats per minute (tachycardia), pause and drop to a much lower pace (bradycardia).

Even if you have one of these diagnoses, that doesn’t necessarily mean you should have a pacemaker.

“Pacing for vasovagal syncope is somewhat controversial,” Cantillon says. “Not all patients are going to benefit." In the condition, "the brainstem sends inappropriate messages to the heart to cause it to slow down to the point where patients can actually blackout or lose consciousness,” he explains. At issue, however, is whether the primary problem is a drop in heart rate or a drop in blood pressure. A pacemaker wouldn’t help for low blood pressure. To further evaluate, you might undergo the noninvasive tilt table test.

Grassroots campaign brings back strong babies

Milwaukee Lifecourse for Healthy Families and Serve Marketing launch campaign to engage community The Milwaukee Lifecourse Initiative for Healthy Families (Milwaukee LIHF) Collaborative, in partnership with Serve Marketing, launched a grassroots campaign on Monday, September 15, 2014, designed to engage the community in the crucial conversation around the importance of changing the conditions that can lead to stronger babies.

"Too many Milwaukee babies continue to be born too small and too soon," said Mayor Tom Barrett, co-chair of the Milwaukee LIHF Collaborative, led by United Way of Greater Milwaukee.

"We have to change the conversation to ensure more babies make it to their first birthday. ln order to have strong babies, we must have strong mothers, strong fathers, strong families, and a strong, supportive community."

"We need to focus not only on individual behaviors but on the many underlying community conditions as well," added Shirley McFarlane, of Northwestern Mutual and co-chair of the Milwaukee LIHF Collaborative. The new campaign, which was unveiled during a press conference at United Way, reintroduces the popular Strong Baby ads, first launched in September 2010, with a fresh look and renewed emphasis on using social media to engage the community in the conversation.

"We need to build a longterm dialogue in the places where our audience likes to have conversations - on their phones, online and using social media," says Gary Mueller, founder and volunteer creative director for Serve Marketing, which developed the original Strong Baby campaign. "So for the next year, we're placing a heavy emphasis on building a strong social community to help us spread the word about what it takes to have a strong baby."

Bus shelter ads featuring Savannah, one of the original Strong Babies who is now a healthy, strong 4- yearold, will begin appearing in targeted zip codes this week with the message, "lt's time more babies became strong babies." A refreshed Strong Baby Facebook Page and website will provide critical information to individuals and a space for people to share information and ideas.

"This campaign allows us

"We know we will not move the needle on this issue until we change the conditions that lead to poor birth outcomes."

to suppress voter participation.”

Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett echoed Moore's sentiments by saying, “We think this is a step back in time to the era prior to the Voting Rights Act that established fairness in elections. We continue to advocate with the legislature to encourage voter participation, not discourage it. There is a disparity in the population that will be most affected---people in poverty, students and seniors."

Many also worried the bid to implement the law less than two months before the Nov. 4 election would cause confusion among election officials and voters. To combat those fears both elected officials and civil rights organizations have promised to do what they can to encourage people to sign up for a proper ID to be eligible to vote.

"While it is just 45 days prior to the election, with an anticipated voter turnout comparable to a presidential election, the City of Milwaukee will be prepared and do everything to ensure its residents still have a smooth voting experience," said Mayor Barrett in his statement.

The Milwaukee Branch NAACP also has pledged to do whatever it takes to get as many voters who are eleigible to vote the proper ID and to the polls in November.

"We will continue to represent disenfranchised persons and advocate for their voting rights. This may include assisting them to get identification, filing administrative appeals where appropriate or possibly pursuing other litigation.

Most importantly, all must register and vote in the November election. Every effort must be made to overcome hurdles to get the required identification in a timely manner in order to vote in the November election," said president James Hall, Jr.
