One Milwaukee remembers Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream By: Raina J. Johnson Special to the Milwaukee Times Fifty years ago, on August 28, 1963, thousands gathered on the National Mall for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. The event was filled with speakers but the most famous speaker, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial. During the speech King spoke about unrealized dreams for our nation. On Saturday August 24, 2013 Milwaukeeans gathered for a march of their own, but still fighting for similar unrealized dreams from a half-century ago. The crowd began their journey at the Martin Luther King, Jr. statue on Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive and Vine Street.

Grand opening for new Milwaukee home for DCF
By: Raina J. Johnson Special to The Milwaukee Times At the end of July, in combination with a nationwide FBI investigation, ten children in Wisconsin were rescued from child trafficking and 100 suspects were arrested. To some the headline was shocking but sadly, to many, many more, it’s a reality. Human trafficking is a real crisis and those involved will not win this war on our children. Community Brainstorming Conference has been holding monthly meetings for years now at Saint Matthew C.M.E. Church located at 2944 North 9th Street and throughout the years, their purpose has remained the same: to discuss pressing topics in the community with community leaders. Their latest conference was on the topic of the human trafficking crisis in Wisconsin. Crisis is a key word. The moderator for the event, longtime Milwaukee community activist and political organizer Martha Love said,
Dr. Bevin Baker “Milwaukee, Wisconsin is number one for human trafficking, for training young men and women to be sex slaves; we are number one in the United States.” In attendance were several community leaders and board leaders from the Greater Milwaukee Human Trafficking Task Force. Panelists included Tracy Johnson, Executive Assistant, U.S. Attorney’s Office, primarily working without reach in

Similar to 1963, there were speakers in attendance that represented a variety of organizations, causes, backgrounds and political viewpoints but the message was loud and clear: 50 years later in Milwaukee: we’re fighting for victory. Many speakers took to the microphone to continue to encourage the community to dream together as one Milwaukee, living in peace, allowing Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision to become a reality in our community and our nation 50 years later. In the words of the African-American National Anthem – Lift Every Voice and Sing, sung by 12-year-old Erica Lofton at Victory Over Violence Park, “Let us march on ‘til victory is won.”

50-year anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s iconic speech March on Washington inspired the masses and, at the time, encouraged U.S. citizens that democracy could work By Ashley Curtin It was 50 years ago this month that Martin Luther King Jr. stood before thousands of people gathered at the Washington Mall and delivered his most memorable and iconic speech. As it came to be called the March on Washington, King’s speech is recognized as the emotional high point of 1963. Spectators filled buses and trains to get to the nation’s capital on a summer’s day in August to hear the words of King echo from the foot of the Lincoln Memorial—where he delivered his “poetic and passionate sermon”—while many others gather around their TV’s
to witness the event. From civil rights activists to musicians, including Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, the March on Washington was organized by a coalition of civil rights groups to help bring equality for all Americans. Leading up to the March on Washington there was much violence taking place around the country, which made officials in Washington fearful of the event. Medgar Evers, a prominent civil rights leader from Mississippi, was assassinated two months earlier and there were many violent attacks on countless others, including children. While the government failed to cancel the event, they instead closed the bars and liquor stores

able to surrender to the idea that I’m supposed to be some sort of pastor too - not just a farmer, but a farming pastor. By the time I finished CUA at Growing Power, my two worm bins had become ten, my fish tank morphed into an aquaponics system, and I had grown a wide variety of food in my living room and shared it with others. The greatest moment of my life occurred at CUA graduation when Will Allen validated my work in front of everyone by saying about me, “We’re really proud of this guy. He decided to start small.” This memory brings tears to my eyes even as I write this now. I have never felt so accomplished and valuable ever in my life as I did on that day.

before, he diverted away from his words and started to preach. He began, “I have a dream…” His words not only moved people to tears, but it “electrified the crowd.”

Why we still march? (part 1 of 2)
50 years after the seminal event of the civil rights era, the work is still unfinished By Sherrilyn A. Ifill
By Tony Farrell Suddenly I realized I don’t need land, money, relationships, or anything else, really, to just get started. Thus I began an indoor microfarming operation in my apartment, starting with two 18 gallon totes for vermicomposting. I began by building soil, and I was simply utilizing the resources I already had right in front of me the best I could. One weekend during microgreen production class at Growing Power, some children next to me and I were engaged in a deep, thought provoking conversation. Seemingly out of nowhere, they suddenly started calling me pastor Tony and I told them, “No, I’m not a pastor.” This of course gave them fuel to keep calling me pastor Tony even more, and other people nearby starting saying, “You’re a pastor? We had no idea!” The fire had been set, and suddenly everyone was calling me pastor Tony. I was really embarrassed. I want to scream, “I’M NOT A PASTOR!” but it would have made things worse. Weeks later, I could not stop thinking about this whole “pastor Tony” situation, and eventually I was
throughout Washington, D.C. on the day of the event. As King stood before thousands of spectators and started to read the speech he struggled to write the night
From that day forth, King was transformed into a national leader and his speech progressed the fight for civil rights in America. His speech not only gave many people hope, but the following year, Congress passed President Johnson's civil rights legislation. The March on Washington was said to have inspired the masses and, at the time, encouraged U.S. citizens that democracy could work. But while things seemed to get worse before getting better, it is believed that 1963 was the year that changed America, both politically and culturally.
Constance Baker Motley, the great civil rights lawyer with the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, was not planning to attend the now-famous civil rights March on Washington 50 years ago this month. She was exhausted. As one of Martin Luther King’s lawyers during the Birmingham campaign, she had secured his and Ralph Abernathy’s release from a squalid, scorching hot jail in Americus, GA, where both men were detained while traveling to Alabama. Motley was among a cadre of civil rights attorneys who spent a great deal of time in county jails throughout the Deep South helping to release detained civil rights activists. Arrests during the Birmingham campaign of 1963 kept Motley and her colleagues particularly busy. But she was finally persuaded to attend the march
by her husband and by news reports of massive crowds on the National Mall. After listening to King’s soaring speech while sitting on stage, she described the march as “the 20th century’s finest hour.” Motley’s assessment reflects her evolving recognition that mass mobilization plays a powerful role in advancing the fight for equality and justice. Without question, Motley and other civil rights lawyers first and foremost believed in the power of the law to transform America from a separate and unequal society to one that strived to fulfill the promises set out in our foundational documents. Civil rights lawyers were uniquely successful in using the law to challenge the illegality of institutionalized racism. Their victories changed the very practice of law, altering it from a tool that had mainly been used to resolve individual and busi-
ness disputes to a powerful instrument of social transformation. The lawyer as idealist and as “social engineer” was born from the crusading efforts of Charles Hamilton Houston, Thurgood Marshall and Robert Carter, all of whom spent 25 years litigating a desegregation campaign that dismantled legal apartheid in this country. The Saturday, August 24, 2013 rally and march at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., billed as the “National Action to Realize the Dream March,” will commemorate the “Great March” of 1963. But it is also its own call to action at a moment of increased racial tension, renewed challenges to minority voting rights, and an intense economic crisis in African American communities.

Memories of ‘The March’ (part 1)
By Ruthe Eleanor Latta I was 11 years old in the summer of 1963. The end of summer around our house usually was a time of anticipation. My older brother and I were anticipating the beginning of a new school year in a few days. Our mother, a professional educator and licensed cosmetologist, was savoring her last few days of vacation between the end of working in summer school and the start of a new school year. However, this particular end-of-summer would be like none we had previously experienced. For weeks, we had heard about “it” at church and Sunday school. I overheard my mother and her hairdressing customers discussing “it” as she cut, shampooed and styled their hair. And now, “it” was finally here. “It” was the March on Washington; more officially, “the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.” In those days, the black church was a cradle of serious political action. The southern black church had nurtured what became the modern civil rights movement, and faced down Jim Crow with organized nonviolent protest. The northern black church had become a springboard for the organized labor movement. It was no coincidence that half the men’s chorus of the South Side Chicago church I grew up in were either officers or members of the local chapter of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. North or south, prayer, politics and protest had become our “holy trinity.” Several old-line Chicago black churches, including our own Metropolitan Community Church, joined forces and sponsored a bus caravan to transport their members who wanted to attend the March. Though our family didn’t make the trip, Moth-
er was determined that we would experience this chapter of history and grasp its significance. Wednesday, August 28, 1963 was a typically hot, humid, hazy summer day in Chicago. Early that morning, Mother had gotten up to make breakfast and the smell of bacon and coffee filtered from the kitchen to our bedrooms, enticing us to get up and get dressed. She was also in the process of preparing one of her special “indoor picnics”---fried chicken and homemade biscuits, which she wrapped in foil and kept warm in an insulated food carrier; along with home-made potato salad, coleslaw, and lemonade. She would later spread a plastic tablecloth on the living-room floor in front of our black-and-white TV. We all sat on the floor and watched history unfold as we munched on Mother’s homemade goodies. The March was carried by all three major networks and pre-empted the usual fare of game shows and soap operas for the whole day. My first impression of the images that came over the TV was that I had never seen that many people in one place before. Folks later estimated the crowd to be somewhere between 200,000 and 300,000 people. It was as if the entire population of Toledo, OH had converged on the National Mall at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. The crowd was a mixture of male and female; young and old; black, brown, white, yellow and red; Protestant, Catholic and Jewish. Unlike demonstrations today, most of the men wore suits and the women wore dresses, almost as if they were going to church. There were ordinary people, but lots of celebrities, too. My brother and I tried to see how many famous people we could recognize. Lena Horne, Sammy Davis,
Rebuilding our Community By Dr. Andrew Calhoun, Ed.D. Special for the Milwaukee Times
Beyond the dream It has been fifty years since the March on Washington when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech in front and on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. This event occurred on Wednesday, August 28, 1963. It has been estimated that 200300,000 people participated in that march and stood on the National Mall to hear Dr. King. This march included people from all corners of American society, races, ethnic backgrounds and socioeconomic status. The march itself was more than just making a few speeches, statements and holding signs; it was reflective of a national movement for equal rights in every aspect of American society. This march is widely credited with helping to pass the Civil Rights Acts (1964) and the Voting Rights Act in 1965. The “I Have a Dream” speech has become one of the most profound and moving public speeches in American history and the world. The speech provided a vision Jr., Harry Belafonte, Josephine Baker, Marlon Brando, Jackie Robinson, and Charlton Heston were there. Mother was particularly keen that we recognized political and civil rights leaders, such as A. Philip Randolph, Bayard Rustin, Adam Clayton Powell, Whitney Young, Roy Wilkins, Dick Gregory, and William Dawson. The music was remarkable, a blend of gospel, folk, anthems, and protest music. Gospel great Mahalia Jackson’s rendition of “How I Got Over” stirred the soul as only she could. Marian Anderson set a tone of inclusiveness with “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands.” As she sang, I imagined that God was indeed among us, holding us all together with love and hope. Folk singers Odetta, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and Peter, Paul and Mary pricked the conscience of the crowd and the nation with lyrics like, “…How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man…” and …”If I had a hammer, I’d hammer out freedom, I’d hammer out justice for all my brothers and sisters, all over this land…” “…the times they are a-changin’…” and “We shall overcome.” It didn’t matter that many of these
and embellishes the hopes of African Americans and other minority groups who have been locked out of the main stream of business, politics and social change. Since that time and until now the speech continues to be a manifesto for a movement that has evolved over the decades in numerous ways. Even though some progress has been made on various fronts over the past 50 years, there is still much work to be done. Everyone has not enjoyed the benefits, freedoms and opportunities that were spoken of by performers were white; it did matter that they could speak truth to power through their music. A 23-year-old John Lewis (then the newly appointed chair of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, now an elder statesman representing Georgia
Dr. King on that day. For many in the African American community are dealing with breakdowns in the family, rising poverty rates, low wage jobs, high incarceration rates, drop outs, no affordable health care, drug abuse, mental health issues and poor housing. In a real sense the speech continues to point the way, provide inspiration and serve as a reminder that what we are seeking is within reach. Our struggles help us to become a little stronger and wiser, regardless of the odds. Even though the cracks in modern life are enormous, the essence of the speech continues to spark considerable debate and provides a pathway to more promising and brighter days. I hope that the dream will never die during my generation and that the new emerging generations will find the courage to continue the work in making the dream a reality for all.

September – National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month (Week 1) “Celebrating A World With More Birthdays” Did you know this year approximately 217,730 men will learn they have prostate cancer and more than 32,050 men will die from the disease? As stated by the American Cancer Society African American men are disproportionately affected by prostate cancer, having higher rates of prostate cancer diagnosis and death than men of all other racial or ethnic groups in the United States. The good news is today while 1 man in 6 will get prostate cancer during his lifetime, only 1 man in 34 will die of this disease. More than 2 million men in the United States who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point are still alive today. When detected during these earliest stages the 5-year survival rate is close to 100 percent. The key, according to the American Cancer Society, is getting men to
know the facts on prostate cancer and to know what their real risks are. Learning about one’s personal prostate cancer risk helps one to make informed decisions with their healthcare provider. Since health continues to be a major concern in our country, this column will continue to bring awareness to health related issues as often as possible. Many of you have asked that I recognize Prostate Cancer Awareness Month; therefore, during the month of September, this column will be dedicated to raising awareness of prostate cancer. What is prostate cancer? According to the American Cancer Society, cancer begins when normal cells start to grow out of control. In prostate cancer, cells grow out of control. They can spread and affect nearby organs. They can also spread to distant parts of the body and cause problems. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in
men. The chance of having prostate cancer goes up with age. In President Barack Obama’s Presidential Proclamation in August 2012 he stated in part: “Prostate cancer is among the most common cancers for men living in the United States, and despite the progress we have made in controlling it, the disease continues to take a devastating
toll on thousands of lives every year. During National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, we remember those we have lost to prostate cancer, and we renew our commitment to preventing, detecting, and treating this terrible illness. While the causes of prostate cancer are still unknown, men with certain risk factors may be more likely to develop the disease. Most men who suffer from prostate cancer are over the age of 65; those whose fathers, brothers, or sons have had prostate cancer are also at greater risk. Prostate cancer is especially prevalent among African American men, who experience both the highest incidence and the highest mortality rates of prostate cancer. I encourage all men to visit www.cancer.org to learn the warning signs of this disease.” Join me in standing with our men and their families who fight alongside them in the battle against prostate
cancer and rededicate ourselves to praying and supporting these men and their families to increase awareness and prevention of prostate cancer; thus helping the men in our lives to celebrate a world with more birthdays.

Bulletin Board GE volunteers make a difference at MPS More than 2,000 current and retired General Electric Company volunteers joined together Thursday, August 22, 2013 to paint, clean, organize and landscape the facilities at 15 Milwaukee schools. Now in its 18th year, GE Community Service Day is the largest single-day GE volunteering event in the world. The initiative is an effort to improve their learning environments in preparation for the upcoming school year. The GE volunteers were joined by nearly 200 volunteers from other companies including the Milwaukee Bucks, Junior Achievement of Wisconsin and Blood Center of Wisconsin. “Milwaukee Public Schools is grateful for this partnership,” said MPS Superintendent Gregory Thornton. “With every stroke of the paint brush, every shovel of dirt and every structure cleaned and built, the GE volunteers are chang-
ing the lives of children.” GE projects included: Audubon School of Technology & Communication Middle School: Volunteers created 20 stenciled murals, redecorated a teachers’ lounge and landscaped 7,000 square feet of grounds. Anna F. Doerfler School: Volunteers installed an outdoor square bench and planter boxes and painted hallways, classrooms and the nurse's office. Edward A. MacDowell Montessori School: Volunteers created a new daycare room, play area, art area, as well as more than 100 feet of plantings in front of the school. Volunteers also constructed bookstore kiosks, organized libraries and helped teachers prepare their classrooms for the new school year. “We’re proud to roll up our sleeves to help improve Milwaukee and Waukesha Public Schools through this
GE volunteers painted two U.S. maps on the 53rd Street School playground. important day,” said Marcelo Mosci, President and CEO, GE Healthcare US & Canada Region. “Community Service Day is an event we look forward to each year and is a great opportunity for GE Healthcare employees to join with the local community to support students where we
live and work.” The work is part of GE’s broad collaboration with Milwaukee Public Schools, which includes the GE Foundation’s five-year, $20.4-million Developing Futures grant to MPS. The grant has already been used to help implement the district’s Com-
prehensive Math and Science Plan across more than 150 schools. Now, 10 MPS GE Demonstration schools will be selected for additional intensive supports to become models for other schools in Milwaukee, and perhaps, across the country.

Genetic research: A matter of trust Because genetic research holds promise for the prevention and treatment of diseases, it is important that ethnic minority populations become involved, says Aaron Buseh, an associate professor of nursing at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM). For the past three years, Buseh and a team of UWM researchers have been working with community partners to better understand how to engage African Americans and African immigrants in genetic research and find ways to increase their participation. Buseh led the effort, called the Community Engagement in Genetics/Genomics Project, with the assistance of professors Sandra Underwood and Patricia Stevens, and a group of researchers from the College of Nursing. The Black Health Coalition of Wisconsin and the Pan African Community Association (PACA) were partners in the community-based participatory research, which was funded by the Wisconsin Genomics Initiative and the UWM Graduate School. More than 400 African Americans and African immigrants from 29 countries living in Milwaukee took part. With the help of the community partners, the researchers were able to conduct focus groups and in-depth interviews, and do

(Photo by Troye Fox) surveys. “We would not have been able to accomplish this project if we did not have their participation and partnership,” says Buseh. The researchers are now analyzing the data. They have presented some initial findings to local community gatherings, as well as at a number of national conferences and in several articles submitted to or published in nursing and genetics journals. Differences and common concerns There were similarities and differences between the African American and African immigrant groups. Both
had concerns about privacy and a legacy of mistrust of the medical community. African Americans frequently brought up cases in which genetic research could potentially harm members of their community, or make others rich while they receive no benefit. Against the backdrop of infamous events like the Tuskegee Syphilis Study and the Henrietta Lacks case, participants described a local history of ill feelings about researchers who come into the African American community to recruit study subjects. A community leader remarked: “We are usually in-
vited into the research process only ‘after the fact,’ when decisions about focus, design and outcomes have already been made. Sometimes, researchers use the leaders merely as ‘entry points’ to the ‘bodies’ needed to do the research, and neglect to come back to share the results with our communities.” Colonialism and medicalresearch exploitation in their homelands in sub-Saharan Africa impacted the attitudes of African immigrants, says Buseh. One participant remarked: “White folks went to Africa to do research on AIDS drugs, and the data got shipped back to the U.S. Drug companies made millions. But a lot of poor people were recruited into these studies, and they are the last ones to receive the benefit. It is wrong.” Understanding the attitudes and concerns within these communities about research participation is an important first step in recruiting them for genetic and other medical studies, says Buseh. “We need better understanding about this lack of participation, and we need to find ways to engage and encourage members of these communities to take part,” says Buseh. “There are lots of benefits from genetic research for prevention and opportunities for medicine
tailored to chronic illnesses in the African immigrant and African American communities.” While cautious because of past issues, community members themselves do see the value of genetic research, says Buseh. As one community leader told them: “We want them to discover what can save the lives of our children and our children’s children. We will always be behind if we do not participate. They will have solutions for the diseases of whites, but not for the diseases we have.” Seeking a seat at the table African immigrants and African Americans in the study had some common recommendations for ways to engage and encourage more participation in genetic research in their communities, says Buseh. They wanted the research process to be transparent, to be able to learn about the results of research and to share in the benefits as much as possible. “Both groups wanted to have a seat at the table,” he adds. “They’re looking for genuine collaboration. They want to be part of a project from its onset and make decisions, especially in an area that they view as affecting the larger community. They want to protect their people from harm.”

Talking Health with Dr. Carter

Seven paths to your ideal weight (part 1) "Simply put, being fat is more likely to kill us than anything else." - Floyd H. Chilton, PhD, in The Gene Smart Diet. Worldwide, obesity is on the rise. In the U.S., seven out of ten people are overweight or obese. According to an article in Obesity, Johns Hopkins researchers predict that by 2030 (one more generation), 86.6 percent of American adults will be overweight or obese. In other words, it is going to take a concerted effort from all concerned adults to transform this almost certain future. The responsibility falls especially hard on parents who need to ensure that their children grow up eating wholesome food and getting regular exercise. Surprise! Surprise! The evidence is in: We must reduce calories to lose weight. However, all the authors represented here agree that it's not about dieting, it's about the way we choose to eat for life.
Losing weight is not a temporary fix. The most successful weight loss is achieved by people who develop an eating plan that fits their lifestyle while they keep their weight where they want it. In 1994, the National Weight Control Registry (NWCR) was established to track successful weight loss strategies. Since that time it has tracked over 5000 people. Here are some findings from the registrants: • 98 percent modified food intake to lose weight. • 94 percent increased physical activity, most commonly by walking. • 55 percent used a program; 45 percent lost weight on their own. • 78 percent continue to eat breakfast regularly. • Most maintain their new weight by eating a low calorie, low fat foods and engaging in high levels of activity. In this series, we present seven strategies for achieving your ideal weight. To lose

weight, you can choose any of them, choose yet another plan, or create your own plan. What's important is to take on a plan, take off the weight, and then maintain the new healthier you. Eat carbs The Serotonin Power Diet, by Judith J. Wurtman, PhD, and Nina T. Frusztajer, MD. Are you one of those people who just goes nuts on a carb restricted diet? Then this is the diet for you. Originally created for people who gained weight on SSRI-type antidepressants, it is also effective for inveterate carb eaters. The science behind this plan is impeccable. Judith Wurtman discovered the
connection between carb craving, serotonin, and emotional wellbeing in her clinical studies. The Serotonin Power Diet is based on her years of lab research and work with hundreds .of volunteers at the MIT Clinical Research Center. With her colleague, Nina Frusztajer, Wurtman founded the Adara Weight Management Center where The Serotonin Power Diet is used. What is the connection between carb snacks and weight loss? The authors state unequivocally that carbohydrates are essential for weight loss. Carbs drive the appetite control system as well as controlling emotional eating and mood. This happens because the end result of eating carbs (by themselves) is the rapid production of the "feel good" brain chemical serotonin. Serotonin turns off our appetite so we feel content with eating less. Because it also initiates feelings of well-be-
ing, we are more resistant to stress-triggered overeating. Simply, with The Serotonin Power Diet, you snack yourself thin. Starchy carb snacks are mandatory. These snacks are to contain no more than 160 calories and up to 35 grams of carbs. Within 8 weeks serotonin levels are balanced. From week 9 on (the Serotonin Control phase) only the afternoon snack remains. Meal foods are the usual low-fat, healthy food fare with lots of fruits and veggies. Breakfast is starchy carbs, protein and fresh produce; lunch, protein and non-starchy veggies; dinner, all veggies, both starchy and non-starchy (no protein). This eating style provides 1400 calories for women and 1800 for men. (Continued next week)

Poor oral hygiene tied to cancer-linked Virus, study finds Avoiding HPV is yet another reason to take care of your teeth, gums, experts say
People whose teeth and gums are in poor condition may be more susceptible to an oral virus that can cause certain mouth and throat cancers, a new study suggests. Researchers found that of more than 3,400 U.S. adults, those who rated their oral health as “poor” to “fair” were more likely to have an oral infection with human papillomavirus (HPV), which, in certain cases, can eventually lead to cancer. Overall, 10 percent of people with tooth or gum disease tested positive for oral HPV. That compared with 6.5 percent of those who rated their dental health as “good” to “excellent.” The results, reported Aug. 21 in the journal Cancer Prevention Research, do not actually prove that diseased teeth
and gums cause HPV infection. “We don’t know if poor oral health led to the HPV infection,” said Christine Markham, one of the researchers on the study. Her team tried to account for other factors that could affect dental health or the odds of having HPV -- such as smoking or multiple oral sex partners. And poor oral health was still linked to a 56 percent increase in the risk of having oral HPV. But there could be other explanations for the connection, and more research is needed, said Markham, an associate professor at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston. Still, she said, there are already plenty of reasons to take care of your teeth and gums. “Good oral health care
is important for your health in general,” Markham said. This study just offers some more incentive, she added. HPV, which can cause genital and anal warts, is the most commonly transmitted sexual infection in the United States. Usually, the immune system clears the infection,
but in some cases the virus persists in the body. And persistent infection with certain HPV strains can eventually lead to cancer -- with cervical cancer the best known. HPV can also invade the mouth during oral sex. Those infections usually cause no symptoms, but a lingering infection with a cancer-linked strain can lead to oropharyngeal cancer, which affects the back of the throat, base of the tongue and tonsils. It’s a rare cancer, but cases tied to HPV are on the rise in the United States. No one knows why. The “take-away,” she said, is that people should be aware of the already-known link between oral health and cancers of the mouth and throat. There are two vaccines available against the most
common cancer-linked strains of HPV (Gardasil and Cervarix). Experts advise vaccination for girls, boys and young adults. Oral hygiene, on the other hand, is something we all can pay attention to, Kraus noted. “Taking care of your teeth, taking care of your gums -- it makes sense,” he said.
Immunizations can save lives (Continued from pg. 14) the necessary antibodies to ward off the infection. In most cases, the immunizations and boosters are enough to provide the necessary protection. Where they are not, children remain at risk for diseases. That’s why it’s particularly important that all children be immunized – the more who are, the less chance there is that a particular disease will be around to be contracted. Additionally, Dr. Robinson says that Hib and Prevnar vaccines, which protect against Haemophilus influenza and Streptococcus pneumoniae respectively, have also significantly reduced the incidence of bacterial meningitis in children, which can be a life threatening disease that affects the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. “Adolescents 10 years of age and young adults are now being given the meningococcal vaccine which will have the same effect in reducing bacterial meningitis. We are seeing less cases of this disease as a result.” Finally, in the State of California, Dr. Robinson notes that pediatricians that receive federal funding from sources such as Medi-Cal are now required to input all immunizations into a centralized electronic health record. “This is of particular benefit to youth who are part of the foster care system as providers can easily obtain access to the patient’s health record to ensure that immunizations are current.”

“The Speech” by Gary Younge
c.2013, Haymarket Books $19.95 / $21.99 Canada 180 pages Imagine all the things that could be. Go back to school, you could be a doctor or lawyer. Save money, and you could be rich(er). Learn a new skill, and you could be popular at parties. Teach a child, and she could be President some-
day. Sometimes in life, a small decision that seems insignificant – or even wrong – turns out to be the most right thing that can happen. And in the new book “The Speech” by Gary Younge, you’ll see how an off-the-cuff choice created a legacy. The year 1963 seemed to be a “turning point” in the Civil Rights Movement. Before that, there were sit-ins, Freedom Riders, and boycotts; “[r]ace overwhelmed almost everything,” writes Younge. But in early summer that year, it got worse: Alabama Governor George Wallace personally stood in a schoolhouse doorway to keep black students from attending college. In early fall, four black girls died in a church bombing. And before winter arrived, John Kennedy was assassinated. But in between these seminal events, Martin Luther King, Jr. made a speech.
For King, speechifying was routine. In all of 1963, he made “at least” 350 speeches, and many of them had a similar theme: aides noticed that he often used the words, “I have a dream,” and they were tired of it. So on August 27, 1963, the night before the March on Washington, when King asked for advice on the speech he was to give the next morning, they told him to ditch the dream. He’d “used it too many times…” The next day, when King took the podium in front of the Lincoln Memorial, it appeared that he might’ve listened. His speech took people “to church,” but they’d already sat through other speeches. It was hot – 87 degrees. Some people left. Then, witnesses claim, Mahalia Jackson shouted for King to “Tell them about the dream…” So he did. Some say that King’s speech
Gary Younge, Author that day was far from his best and “not nearly as powerful” as other speeches. Others criticized his words, saying they didn’t need a dreamer, they needed a “leader.” King himself was “well on the way to being a pariah” that August afternoon. So why have those words left such a legacy?
In “The Speech,” author Gary Younge asks that question, too, and his skinny little, information-packed volume has the answer. But in getting to the reason why that speech is one of the more memorable in American history, Younge sets the scene by mixing little-known facts with common knowledge about the Civil Rights Movement. He then explains how the March came together, why the speech became an iconic event, and the important impacts, politically and socially, that it still has, fifty years after it almost didn’t occur. Reading a book about a speech might seem like a narrow focus, but this book has so much more. For students of history, I think, as well as for people who were there that August day, and especially for those who weren’t, “The Speech” could be what you need to read next.
