Senator Harris Dodd hosted “Unite Milwaukee” Anti-Violence Summit On Saturday, March 14th, State Senator Nikiya Harris Dodd (D-Milwaukee) hosted Unite Milwaukee, an antiviolence summit connecting Milwaukee community members to the resources they need to help prevent violence in their neighborhoods. The day-long summit had over 130 attendees from neighborhoods across Milwaukee and included everyday neighbors, youth, faith and organizational leaders.

“I was so impressed with our community’s turnout to this summit and their dedication to making a difference in their own neighborhoods,” stated Senator Nikiya Harris Dodd. “The summit, which was created through the collaboration of Milwaukee community members, allowed for Milwaukee citizens to brainstorm tangible steps to take to prevent violence in their neighborhoods.”

The summit planning began in September of 2014, in response to a July listening session that Senator Harris

State Senator Nikiya Harris Dodd Dodd held with community members about the devastating gun violence happening in Milwaukee. Together, the individuals who attended that meeting have met to create the summit for Milwaukee community members most affected by gun violence in their day-to-day lives.

“I’m proud of the work that our planning members have done to produce this summit, which provided the community with an over-

view of the systemic causes of gun violence and also give them realistic steps that they can take to stand up to violence in their neighborhoods,” explained Senator Harris Dodd. “I think we really began to build a community coalition to prevent violence on Saturday, and I hope that this summit is just one step in many to addressing violence in our community.”

The summit, which started at 8am on Saturday, featured speakers who touched on topics such as social factors that contribute to violence as well as strategies to addressing violence on every block.

Speakers included faith leaders, police captains, community members, and leaders from employment and job resource organizations. In the coming weeks, Senator Harris Dodd will be generating a report to the public on the results of the brainstorming among participants during Saturday’s summit.

Remarks by the President at the 50th Anniversary of the Selma-to-Montgomery marches (part 2) (Continued from last week)

unjust status quo; the same instinct that led us to plant a flag at Iwo Jima and on the surface of the Moon.

“It’s the idea held by generations of citizens who believed that America is a constant work in progress; who believed that loving this country requires more than singing its praises or avoiding uncomfortable truths. It requires the occasional disruption, the willingness to speak out for what is right, to shake up the status quo. That’s America.

“That’s what makes us unique. That’s what cements our reputation as a beacon of opportunity. Young people behind the Iron Curtain would see Selma and eventually tear down that wall.

Young people in Soweto would hear Bobby Kennedy talk about ripples of hope and eventually banish the scourge of apartheid. Young people in Burma went to prison rather than submit to military rule. They saw what John Lewis had done.

From the streets of Tunis to the Maidan in Ukraine, this generation of young people can draw strength from this place, where the powerless could change the world’s greatest power and push their leaders to expand the boundaries of freedom.

“They saw that idea made real right here in Selma, Alabama. They saw that idea manifest itself here in America.

“Because of campaigns like this, a Voting Rights Act was passed. Political and economic and social barriers came down. And the change these men and women wrought is visible here today in the presence of African Americans who run boardrooms, who sit on the bench, who serve in elected office from small towns to big cities; from the Congressional Black Caucus all the way to the Oval Office.

“Because of what they did, the doors of opportunity swung open not just for black folks, but for every

This week we continue with President Barack Obama's speech marking the 50th anniversary of the march from Selma to Montgomery.

“What greater expression of faith in the American experiment than this, what greater form of patriotism is there than the belief that America is not yet finished, that we are strong enough to be self-critical, that each successive generation can look upon our imperfections and decide that it is in our power to remake this nation to more closely align with our highest ideals?

“That’s why Selma is not some outlier in the American experience. That’s why it’s not a museum or a static monument to behold from a distance. It is instead the manifestation of a creed written into our founding documents: “We the People…in order to form a more perfect union.” “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”

“These are not just words.

They’re a living thing, a call to action, a roadmap for citizenship and an insistence in the capacity of free men and women to shape our own destiny. For founders like Franklin and Jefferson, for leaders like Lincoln and FDR, the success of our experiment in self-government rested on engaging all of our citizens in this work. And that’s what we celebrate here in Selma. That’s what this movement was all about, one leg in our long journey toward freedom.

“The American instinct that led these young men and women to pick up the torch and cross this bridge, that’s the same instinct that moved patriots to choose revolution over tyranny. It’s the same instinct that drew immigrants from across oceans and the Rio Grande; the same instinct that led women to reach for the ballot, workers to organize against an

American. Women marched through those doors. Latinos marched through those doors.

Asian Americans, gay Americans, Americans with disabilities -- they all came through those doors.

Their endeavors gave the entire South the chance to rise again, not by reasserting the past, but by transcending the past.

“What a glorious thing, Dr. King might say. And what a solemn debt we owe. Which leads us to ask, just how might we repay that debt?

“First and foremost, we have to recognize that one day’s commemoration, no matter how special, is not enough. If Selma taught us anything, it’s that our work is never done. The American experiment in self-government gives work and purpose to each generation.

“Selma teaches us, as well,

that action requires that we shed our cynicism. For when it comes to the pursuit of justice, we can afford neither complacency nor despair.

“Just this week, I was asked whether I thought the Department of Justice’s Ferguson report shows that, with respect to race, little has changed in this country. And I understood the question; the report’s narrative was sadly familiar. It evoked the kind of abuse and disregard for citizens that spawned the Civil Rights Movement. But I rejected the notion that nothing’s changed. What happened in Ferguson may not be unique, but it’s no longer endemic. It’s no longer sanctioned by law or by custom. And before the Civil Rights Movement, it most surely was.

“We do a disservice to the cause of justice by intimating that bias and discrimination are immutable, that racial division is inherent to America. If you think nothing’s changed in the past 50 years, ask somebody who lived through the Selma or Chicago or Los Angeles of the 1950s. Ask the female CEO who once might have been assigned to the secretarial pool if nothing’s changed.

Ask your gay friend if it’s easier to be out and proud in America now than it was thirty years ago. To deny this progress, this hard-won progress -– our progress –would be to rob us of our own agency, our own capacity, our responsibility to do what we can to make Amer-

ica better.

“Of course, a more common mistake is to suggest that Ferguson is an isolated incident; that racism is banished; that the work that drew men and women to Selma is now complete, and that whatever racial tensions remain are a consequence of those seeking to play the “race card” for their own purposes. We don’t need the Ferguson report to know that’s not true. We just need to open our eyes, and our ears, and our hearts to know that this nation’s racial history still casts its long shadow upon us.

“We know the march is not yet over. We know the race is not yet won. We know that reaching that blessed destination where we are judged, all of us, by the content of our character requires admitting as much, facing up to the truth. ‘We are capable of bearing a great burden,’ James Baldwin once wrote, ‘once we discover that the burden is reality and arrive where reality is.’

“There’s nothing America can’t handle if we actually look squarely at the problem. And this is work for all Americans, not just some.

Not just whites. Not just blacks. If we want to honor the courage of those who marched that day, then all of us are called to possess their moral imagination. All of us will need to feel as they did the fierce urgency of now.

All of us need to recognize as they did that change depends on our actions, on our attitudes, the things we teach our children. And if we make such an effort, no matter how hard it may sometimes seem, laws can be passed, and consciences can be stirred, and consensus can be built.

“With such an effort, we can make sure our criminal justice system serves all and not just some. Together, we can raise the level of mutual trust that policing is built on –- the idea that police officers are members of the community they risk their lives to protect, and citizens in Ferguson and New York and Cleveland, they just want the same thing young people here marched for 50 years ago -– the protection of the law. Together, we can address unfair sentencing and overcrowded prisons, and the stunted circumstances that rob too many boys of the chance to become men, and rob the nation of too many men who could be good dads, and good workers, and good neighbors.”

Rebuilding Our Community

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

Bubble watch March is here and it’s time to talk about the upcoming NCAA Basketball Tournament, better known as “March Madness.” Over the past few weeks we have become more entrenched in watching the polls, special features on players, game day, power Saturday and super Monday. Many of us can’t wait to see our favorite college team in action during the conference tournament and especially if they have a chance to get a nod on selection Sunday.

Of course there are a few questions that have to be answered way before that day, including, is my team in or is my team out? Will they be one of the last four teams

in or will they be one of the last four out? What is it going to take for my team to be selected to the “big dance?”

Can my team get hot at the right time and finish strong and make it deep into the conference tournament?

Can they make a statement with a quality or a few signature wins in order to earn that special invite? Will they be selected if they do not win the conference season or tournament titles? A lot of questions, only time will tell.

If you are wondering like I am about what my college team will do, then welcome to what is known as the “bubble watch.” Each year we go through a similar experience and become excited

Being Frank

It has been 50 years since the events that took place in Selma, AL happened. In 1965 violence shook the southern town and the aftermath helped to shape a race’s destiny. Violence against blacks was commonplace in America during the 60’s and Selma was an example of this. There are some heroic figures that endured the beatings and violence of this time in the nations past. The question has to be asked: Are the results worth the pain?

On Sunday March 7, 1965 Alabama state troopers attacked a group of unarmed marchers with billy clubs and tear gas. The pictures taken after the assault led to worldwide outcry over the incident. Then President Lyndon Johnson assigned federal troops to protect future black marchers. Bloody Sunday was part of the push by blacks to gain voting rights and equality in America. Was the pain and suffering equal to the political state African Americans are in today?

In 1965 when those black people took the beatings rendered by the troopers, they became martyrs. Amelia Boynton and others believed that their pain would make a difference in the future of black people. There were laws passed eventually and the right to vote was enforced. But be honest; what has changed? Were the sacrifices Boynton and others gave used to advance the black race? If so, was it a beneficial advancement to black people?

First, have voting issues been resolved in America?

No. Every year voting issues

when our team is doing well, winning the games they're supposed to win, upsetting teams they were expected to lose to and perhaps being upset by a team that was less talented. But in any case the goal remains the same, to be good and have enough talent to make it to the “big

dance.” This includes the understanding that our record itself surely qualifies us to make the tournament.

One of the greatest takeaways from the upcoming NCAA Basketball Tournaments is that it provides a wonderful platform in which student athletes can display their skills in leadership, teamwork and good sportsmanship on a national level.

But when you think about it a moment or two, especially in terms of rebuilding our neighborhoods, we all have been on the "bubble watch” too long. Milwaukee has been cited as the 2nd “poorest” city in America (Time) and it is hard to believe that we will ever make it to the “big

pop up and black people feel they are being cheated out of their right. Wasn’t this one of the reasons in 1965 the marchers hit the bridge walking? The purpose of the 1965 marches was to ensure voting rights. In 2014 there were issues in Wisconsin over ID cards and the right to register. Many people claimed that the demand for certain ID would hinder blacks from being able to vote. We won’t even mention the problems blacks ran into during the last four Presidential elections.

There is also another aspect blacks won’t face. Many black people still don’t vote.

This aspect has two ways to look at it. One is many blacks didn’t want to be a part of the political process from the beginning. Two, many do want to be a part but are too busy or lazy to go to the polls. Both aspects make you wonder: did Boynton get knocked out for nothing on that Sunday in 1965?

event. Obama may have given the world a clue as to who really benefitted from the events of the 60’s. “Ask the female CEO who once might have been assigned to the secretarial pool if nothing's changed. Ask your gay friend if it's easier to be out and proud in America now than it was 30 years ago.” It seems other political factions have gained more from black political gains in the 60’s than blacks have.

There is much respect given to the brave people who faced the pain in 1965 on a bridge in Alabama. Black people should celebrate and learn from the sacrifice these brave individuals made. More importantly, blacks should maximize the sacrifice to finally escape the endless cycle of apathy in the United States.

Bible engagement: An essential discipline for spiritual growth (Week 3) This writer has taught at many conferences, written many articles and preached several sermons; but it is the regular habit of reading, studying and meditating on God’s Word that has been indispensable in my spiritual growth. Each time this writer opens the divine Word of God and stands before God’s people to teach or preach, the prayer that goes forth in my heart is, 'God, not only speak through me but speak for me'. Every believer should strive to read, study, meditate and memorize God’s Word regularly and consistently.

The focus this month has been to encourage believers to make Bible study a priority. This week this column will provide practical tips for engaging in active Bible study. Originally published in Charisma Magazine by J. Lee Grady in an article titled: How to Make Bible Study A Priority (January 2014), Grady offered these tips to making Bible study a priority in your life:

• Use a study bible. You wouldn’t understand a Shakespearean play if you simply read the original manuscript from 1595. The English language has changed a lot since then. The only way to understand a Shakespearean play is to read an annotated version that explains difficult words and passages. In the same way, study Bibles provides helpful footnotes.

• Choose a readable translation. Modern translations, such as the New International Version or the New American Standard Bible are easier to read. Keep other translations handy, including the Amplified Version, to compare verses.

• Use study helps. Use online references to help in your study. Strong’s Concordance allows you to look up any word in the Old Testament Hebrew or the New Testament Greek. You can find out the original meaning of the word to enhance the meaning. The popular Matthew Henry’s Commentary of the

Perhaps you sent a floral piece, if so, we saw it there.

Perhaps you spoke the kindest words that any friend could say; Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day.

Education

­­­­­­­­­­­Center for Teaching Entrepreneurship is seeking young entrepreneurs

Early indicators show MPS’ Commitment Schools are improving

Center for Teaching Entrepreneurship (CTE) is now recruiting young entrepreneurs aged 16-24 for the “I Can Be My Own Boss” series. Young entrepreneurs who apply should have a business idea that they are ready to put into action or a business that is less than 2-3 years old.

The series provides young people between the ages 16 – 24 with an opportunity to assess their business ventures and see them through to fruition. As part of the program, participants will create a business plan, identify adequate financial resources for their projects, evaluate successful marketing approaches, create a marketing plan, and learn the importance of business communications skills, customer service, having a mission statement, and networking.

The “I Can Be My Own Boss” series workshops will be held at CTE on four consecutive Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon from April 11 - May 2, 2015.

Attendance to all workshops

Milwaukee Public Schools’ Commitment Schools initiative is showing signs of improving reading and mathematics achievement in kindergarten through 8th grade, according to early results that will be presented to the Milwaukee Board of School Directors March 17.

The Commitment Schools initiative, which is in its first year of implementation, is aimed at transforming under performing schools into high-performing schools through increased resources to support school-specific rigorous academic and behavioral interventions with the ultimate goal of achieving greater college and career readiness.

In reading, students in eight of nine grade levels are on track to meet the district goal of narrowing the achievement gap by 5 percent by spring, as indicated by district test data. In math, six of nine grade levels are on track to meet the goal.

Initiative focused on transforming under performing schools finds most K-8 grades are narrowing reading and math achievement gaps; HS data to come in spring

The gap is defined as the difference between the current scores at each grade level and the scores needed to predict proficiency in the subject area as measured by state assessments.

Narrowing the gap means the students’ achievement levels are growing faster than average.

“This is our first look at the progress we are making in our Commitment Schools and we are pleased to see that outcomes for students are improving,” MPS Superintendent Dr. Darienne Driver said. “We will continue to engage in this critically important work so that all of our students are college and career ready.”

The data comes from comparing results between the fall and winter district-

administered Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) tests.

The results to be presented to the Board represent the seven Commitment Schools that serve students in elementary and/or middle school grades: Auer Avenue School, Browning School, George Washington Carver Academy of Mathematics and Science, Samuel Clemens School, Barack Obama School of Career and Technical Education, Albert Story School and Thurston Woods Campus.

MPS will receive similar data for the high schools that are Commitment Schools in the spring. The district has limited its high school MAP testing as the state introduced additional testing for those grades.

In addition to the Commitment Schools effort, the district is supporting other under performing schools by providing additional instructional support, professional development and operational assistance.

Education

MPS: Op Ed.

Michael Bonds, PH.D. President Milwaukee Public School Board of Governance

Dr. Driver meets with President Obama

MPS superintendent joined other urban school leaders with the Council of the Great City Schools lowing statement about the meeting: “I am grateful for the opportunity we had to share the progress urban districts are making, to share the innovative practices we are putting in place to accelerate our growth and to reiterate our support for being accountable for student achievement.

It was also an opportunity to express concern about the proposals to reauthorize Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) that would reduce funding for many of the highest-need, highest-poverty districts in the United States.

“Milwaukee Public Schools is proud to join with our L to R: Dr. Darienne Driver, Juan Cabrera, Superintendent, CGCS colleagues in serving El Paso Independent School District, TX; Michael Hanson, all students. Any new plan must help move this nation’s Superintendent, Fresno Unified School District, CA; neediest students forward – Richard Carranza, Superintendent, San Francisco Unified not backward. If the choice School District, CA; and Barbara Jenkins, Superintendent, is between not doing harm Orange County Public Schools, FL or doing harm, it would seem Milwaukee Public Schools school district leaders from self-evident that the current Superintendent Dr. Dari- the Council of the Great waiver system will have to reenne Driver met with Presi- City Schools and the group’s main in place until a bill can dent Obama on Monday, executive director. be passed that responsibly along with 10 other urban Dr. Driver released the fol- supports all of our students.

“My colleagues and I were able to provide a number of examples of programs that have made the most of federal funds provided to high-needs districts in ways that improve outcomes and opportunities for students.

For MPS, that includes our Commitment Schools effort, which is showing early signs of progress.

“I was also able to share with the president how Milwaukee Public Schools partnered with the GE Foundation to develop scalable and sustainable in-house models of innovative learning that can now share best practices with other schools. I spoke about our efforts to implement the rigorous Common Core State Standards and to increase the integration of science, technology, engineering and math. I also shared how we are beginning to work with the College Board to improve outcomes for our young men of color through the president’s My Brother’s Keeper initiative.

“I could not agree more

with President Obama that we need to focus – as we have done in MPS through the Commitment Schools process – on providing lowperforming schools with the tools they need to be successful. I also agree that investment in our students with special needs and our students who are English Language Learners is critical to our overall success.

“On the whole, our message as a group was that urban districts are making steady progress and implementing efforts to accelerate that growth. Any effort to shift funds from high-need districts to less needy schools – as some ESEA reauthorization proposals would – risks reversing that progress.

“As the president said Monday, continuing to invest in our children is something worth fighting for.”

Cyber bullying: Three ways to protect your child

Kyra Pringle and her infant daughter As a new parent, nothing brings one more joy than seeing the smile of their child. So as a family, you take pictures of him/her, or take video of all their firsts (first steps, first words, etc).

One could literally have hundreds of pictures/videos of all their most precious moments. And with the easiness of social media, you don’t have to wait to share them with all of your extended family–just one quick post and they can all see it. Sounds like a great way to have family and friends share in on precious memories right?

However, when Kyra Pringle decided to share a photo of her daughter, who has a rare Chromosome 2 Duplication and she became a meme, it brought to light how many people abuse social media and can really be cruel.

Unfortunately, when we share, we open ourselves up

to both the good and the bad that social media has to offer. It’s literally the world that is watching. And within the world, as you know, there are some people who just don’t care, will take advantage of you, and those who just downright don’t like you.

If you choose to share via social media, do it as safely as you can but understand the risk involved, even with sharing among people that you know. Here are 3 tips: 1. Use a watermark. A watermark on all your pictures can prevent or at least deter someone from using your pictures. It could be your family name, your favorite saying or some sort of visible and recognizeable background image that would be good to see.

2. Make your pics private. Social media privacy settings are always changing (you know those long agree-

ments that none of us ever reads, but we click “OK” anyway), so you need to make sure that your pictures are set to private. **PLEASE NOTE**: sometimes your privacy settings are different on your mobile device and your laptop, so be sure to check that both are set to “private.”

3. Just don’t share. Sometimes an email or a picture in the mail is a little bit more personable. If your picture is funny to you, but could be misunderstood by someone who may not know you, the best thing for you to do would be to just not post it in the first place.

At the end of the day, you are proud of your children, family, etc., and want to share that side with the world to see how awesome we are, but in reality, we need to protect our family in this digital world. So share with caution.

Burger King to stop serving soft drinks to kids Burger King has dropped fountain drinks from its kids’ menu boards and they are no longer merchandised as part of Burger King Kids Meals.

The stealth, unannounced move late last month by Burger King – under pressures from advocacy groups – follows similar announced moves in recent months by McDonald’s and Wendy’s.

Burger King made the change, “as part of our ongoing effort to offer our guests options that match lifestyle needs,” said Alex Macedo, president of Burger King North America, in an e-mailed statement to USA TODAY. Instead of soft drinks, the BK menu for kids will offer fat-free milk, 100 percent apple juice and lowfat chocolate milk.

The move comes amid a

recent whirlwind of activity among major fast-food chains to improve the quality off their food in response to growing demands by consumers and activists.

Last week, McDonald’s announced a new policy to eliminate human antibiotics from its chicken supply over the next two years. Also last week, Dunkin’ Donuts agreed to phase out a controversial whitening agent used in the powdered sugar atop some of its doughnuts.

Over time, the soft drink menu change could impact future beverage industry sales because many consumers develop their beverage consumption habits as kids.

Here’s a comparison of the different top fast food burger chains:

How to break your coffee addiction for real this time Many of us turn to a steaming hot cup of coffee when we need a little pick me up or a boost of energy in the morning or midday, but we often forget that caffeine is a natural stimulant, making it super easy for coffee lovers to become addicted. If your coffee habit has spiraled out of control and you seriously feel like you cannot function without it, then it might be time to lay off it for a while.

Here are a few tips to help you gradually wean off the caffeine without any of the side effects.

Keep drinking coffee.

Yes, I know this is going to sound strange, but if you’re trying to kick your coffee habit, the best thing you can do is continue your daily ritual, whatever it may be – one cup in the morning, another right before noon, another before you pick up the kids from school, one more before you hit the sack. But,

here’s the catch: Start off by replacing one of those cups with warm lemon water or green tea for a couple days.

Side note: Green tea is much lower in caffeine than coffee and warm lemon water is a natural energy booster.

Don’t quit cold turkey.

Doing so can lead to terrible withdrawal symptoms, including severe headaches, irritability, anxiety and difficultly concentrating. In addition to replacing one cup of

coffee with warm lemon water or green tea, try diluting your coffee with water for a week or two.

Detox During this time, you might also want to consider exercising daily or every other day for at least 30 minutes, drinking plenty of water and eating lots of dark leafy greens throughout the day to flush out all the caffeine, as well as the toxins and waste products from your body.

Personal Finance & Business

15

By Jason Alderman Director of Visa’s financial education programs

Is your teen ready for a summer job?

For many teens, there's nothing more exciting than receiving the first paycheck from a summer job – a surefire ticket to fun and freedom.

It's also a great opportunity for parents to encourage proper money management.

Parents or guardians need to do some necessary paperwork first. Working teens will need his or her own Social Security Number (SSN) to legally apply for a job. They will also need a SSN to open a bank account to deposit their paychecks. Depending on state law, children under 18 may have to open bank accounts in their custodial name with their parents or guardians. It is also important for parents to check in with qualified tax or financial advisors about their teen's earned income, particularly if it may affect any investments under the child's name.

After that, it's about encouraging teens to get a jump on their job search. The recent job market for American teens has been tough and investigating particular kinds of openings should start months in advance of summer hire. Networking is also important – teens can reach out to friends, neighbors and other trusted adults about potential jobs in the community. Also, it is never too early for teens to learn resume writing and job interviewing skills. The Practical Money Skills website's Landing a Job (http://www. practicalmoneyskills.com/ personalfinance/lifeevents/ work/landingjob.php) page offers useful background to help teens get started.

Parents can also assist by monitoring job categories their kids are interested in, encouraging them to meet

application deadlines and being aware of federal, state and local child labor laws (http://www.youthrules.dol. gov/know-the-limits/index. htm) to steer them from unscrupulous employers.

Technology changes quickly, so tech-savvy teens may be ahead of the game when it comes to searching for work online. Leading job search engines are a destination for seasonal job openings, and many allow users to custom-

ize searches for specific positions and employers. However, teens may need to be reminded about their social media activity before they begin any job search – anything a teen posts publicly on the Internet may be seen by a potential employer.

Banking is another major step in the life of the working teen, though they don't need to wait for that first job to get started.

Many parents open bank accounts for their children as early as their first allowance – after all, digital banking makes it easier to monitor and transfer money without a trip to the branch or ATM. Paychecks – on paper or via digital deposit – make familiarity with the banking system an even greater necessity. Check with their bank to see what types of accounts are offered for children and teens – some banks offer a wide variety of custodial accounts where parents can track and assist their child's spending and saving activity.

A teen's first job is a great opportunity to introduce

budgeting, saving and longterm investment skills. Your child may be working over the summer to save for a particular desired item – a cellphone or a trip – or more extensive goals like future college expenses. The Practical Money Skills site offers a budgeting tutorial (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/personalfinance/savingspending/ budgeting/) and budgeting calculators (http://www. practicalmoneyskills.com/ calculators/budgetGoals. php?calcCategory=budget) for a range of purposes.

When the job offer comes, there's one more thing parents can do. Getting hired means a flurry of paperwork that can be confusing; parents can help their children review those documents before signature. Most will apply to tax withholding, but such documents might also include special workplace agreements that might not always be clear to young workers. When that first paycheck arrives, consider sitting down to inspect a teen's first paper or electronic pay stub. Many people don't understand their withholding even as adults, so children can benefit greatly from this lesson at the start of their working lives.

Bottom line: A teen's first summer job is a great way for parents and children to collaborate on job-hunting and money management skills that will produce benefits for a lifetime.

- Marian Wright Edelman, founder of the Children's Defense Fund.

In Fifty Black Women Who Changed America, Amy Alexander offers vivid pictures of these women, whose personal journeys will encourage a new generation of women to embark on journeys of their own.

Fifty Black Women Who Changed America By: Amy Alexander Dafina Books, Jan 1, 2003 320 pages The contributions of Black women have helped to make America a place of freedom and opportunity. Yet their monumental importance has long been ignored in the media and classroom. While Oprah Winfrey's astonishing success is widely recognized, the work of trailblazers such as June Jordan, advocate and author: and Johnetta Cole, president of Spellman College, remain unsung. Now, this informative anthology, spotlights the shining accomplishments of fifty African American women. From the courage of Civil Rights leader, Fannie Lou Hamer, to the high-energy performances of Tina Turner, here are portraits of strong women whose personal journeys will inspire a new generation of women, including: - Sojourner Truth, a slave who became a feminist.

- Madame C.J. Walker, the first African American woman millionaire.

- Mary McLeod Bethune, an educator and activist.

- Hattie McDaniel, the first African American Academy Award "RM" winner.

- Ella Fitzgerald, jazz singer and international celebrity.

- Barbara Jordan, stateswoman and breaker of the color barrier.

Condi: The Condoleezza Rice Story By: Antonia Felix Simon and Schuster, Oct 12, 2010 320 pages This is the remarkable and galvanizing true story of Condoleezza Rice—sixtysixth United States Secretary of State under President George W. Bush, who once said about his close confidante, “Dr. Rice is not only a brilliant person, she is an experienced person. . . . America will find that she is a wise person.”

With the current release of her own long-awaited memoir, Condoleezza Rice is more fascinating than ever.

Drawing from exclusive interviews with dozens of friends, relatives, colleagues, and teachers, as well as scores of previous articles and interviews, this thoroughly researched and detailed biography paints a compelling portrait of a born leader of resolute character who broke all barriers to excel as a black woman in an arena usually dominated by white men.

From her childhood in segregated Birmingham, AL, where her parents fostered a love of learning and excellence at an early age, to her calling to the arts as an outstanding classical pianist, to her rise through the political ranks to the halls of power in Washington, DC, Condi is a revealing look at the most gifted and influential woman in American political history.

Lynda Jackson Conyers Publisher, Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper

living a life with meaning.

Told in her own inimitable style, this book transcends genres and categories: guidebook, memoir, poetry, and pure delight.

Here in short spellbinding essays are glimpses of the tumultuous life that led Angelou to an exalted place in American letters and taught her lessons in compassion and fortitude: how she was brought up by her indomitable grandmother in segregated Arkansas, taken in at thirteen by her more worldly and less religious mother, and grew to be an awkward, six-foot-tall teenager whose first experience of loveless sex paradoxically left her with her greatest gift, a son.

Whether she is recalling such lost friends as Coretta Scott King and Ossie Davis, extolling honesty, decrying

vulgarity, explaining why becoming a Christian is a “lifelong endeavor,” or simply singing the praises of a meal of red rice–Maya Angelou writes from the heart to millions of women she considers her extended family.

Like the rest of her remarkable work, Letter to My Daughter entertains and teaches; it is a book to cherish, savor, re-read, and share.

“I gave birth to one child, a son, but I have thousands of daughters. You are Black and White, Jewish and Muslim, Asian, Spanish speaking, Native Americans and Aleut. You are fat and thin and pretty and plain, gay and straight, educated and unlettered, and I am speaking to you all. Here is my offering to you.”
