Tap dancing into the wider world West Side young women say the art form has opened their perspectives By XUEER ZHANG AustinTalks

The idea of pursuing African studies in college came to Austin teen Aviance Spain as she tap danced with a group of South and West Side girls led by Bril Barrett, a North Lawndale native who loves to teach tap along with a bit of history, too. “He taught us [things] like African history and African-American history,” said Spain, 17, who joined the team in 2012. She and five other girls performed their latest tap dance piece EmpoWOMENt on a recent Thursday night at La Follette Park, the final stop of the 2017 Peacebook tour hosted by Collaboraction. Spain, a 10-year tap dancer and a student at Rowe-Clark Math & Science Academy, is one of about 100 artists across the city who have been featured in the festival, which is intended to address the ongoing crime and violence in Chicago through art performance, said Genevieve Fowler, community outreach coordinator at Collaboraction. “You are having a huge variation of voices being heard and stories being told,” Fowler said. It’s the second year the West Town-based theater company has hosted a peace festival to bring together artists of different backgrounds and different neighborhoods. The festival was expanded to 24 performances of theater, dance and song this year, she said; there were performances in EngleSee TAP DANCING on page 8

Mary Peery, Austin’s garden mother, dies at 91 Peery founded the Austin Green Team in 1995 By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

Mary Peery, the well-known founder of the Austin Green Team, died on Friday, Nov. 10 after a lengthy illness. She was 91 years old. Green Team member Vera Watson confirmed Peery’s death earlier this week.

The Green Team, an organization that’s become renowned for its prolific planting of gardens throughout the West Side, was founded by Peery in 1995. She had been the group’s president since her retirement in 2016, Watson said. “She was not only concerned about her block, but other blocks that had vacant lots in the area, so she began to recruit other people and showed them how they could turn ugly vacant lots into beautiful flower and vegetable gardens,” Watson recalled,

referencing the Green Team’s origins. In addition to the organization’s flagship garden on the corner of Huron and Latrobe, the Green Team has seven other gardens that it planted, all under the steady, guiding hand of Peery, who Watson said lived to garden. Peery was born on Dec. 16, 1925, on a farm in Roxie, Mississippi, where her father raised vegetables that he sold. She was the

STREET beat

Rev. John Crawford, still advocating In 1990s John Crawford Jr., who had been among the leaders of the West Side Organization in the 1960s, organized Faith Inc. to assist returning prisoners. It took 10 years to lobby for a bill to provide IDs for returning prisoners. In 2015, Faith Inc.’s funds were cut as part of Rauner’s state budget cut. At age 78, Crawford is seeking a role as an elder adviser to today’s organizers and social workers. I’m the oldest in a family of 14, from Round Pond, Ark., born in 1939. My mama brought us to Chicago. My father hit a white man and had to get out of town. We lived in Jew Town, then in the Ida B. Wells project when it was beautiful and new. I was called to be a bodyguard whenever Martin Luther King was doing a march nearby. Community organizations like the Woodlawn Organization and West Side Organization, among others were formed in Chicago. I’m frustrated because people don’t mention WSO in history books. I wrote a book about WSO that I would like to get published. Dr. King wanted poor people from all over to come together. After he was killed in 1968, people were all scattered and some gave up.

I was incarcerated in Menard, 1979-92. It’s best not to talk about why a person is in prison; the point is, what did they do with their time there? I studied to be a minister. I’m not part of a church; the church is inside you. Faith Inc. was born when the Lord woke me up one night after midnight and told me to organize a service to help people readjust to society after getting out of prison. When I got out myself, I had a tough time getting an ID and a job. God led me to use my contacts from WSO, and Faith Inc. was able to get grants from the Dept. of Corrections and connect returning prisoners with social agencies who could help them. When we started Faith Inc., we would meet in Sankofa Cultural Center on Fridays. My son Malcolm is part of the effort to get these Chicago Ave. AfricanAmerican businesses recognized. I had a heart attack around 2003, and a lot of health problems since. I have a walker and a wheelchair. But I can feel the spirit of advocacy to help people stand up. The life you save could be your own. If I can say something to help somebody, that encourages me. — BONNI McKEOWN

MARY PEERY Pioneer

from page 1 oldest child and fell in love with gardening while farming beside her father. She moved to Chicago in 1956 with her two daughters — Neva Hardaway and Geraldine Green — and got a job working in a steel mill for 30 years before flourishing in retirement. The Green Team, Watson said, grew out of Joe and Mary Peery’s backyard garden. An ever vigilant planter, Peery was just as watchful of the community’s young people, whose safety she guarded with the vigor she applied to tending her garden. Her neighbors called her Mrs. Nosy Rosy. In 1989, Peery was instrumental in the demolition of an abandoned building on her block. And along with her sister, Leola Spann and the Botanic Gardens, she started the first community garden in the Austin area and among the first in the city. Planted in place of the abandoned building, where a 14-year-old girl was raped, Peery named the garden Paradise. “She was not only concerned about her block, but about other blocks that had vacant lots in the area, so she began to recruit other people and showed them how they could turn ugly lots into beautiful flower

and vegetable gardens,” wrote Austin Green Team members in a biographical statement they prepared years ago. In 2000, the Chicago Tribune published a profile of Peery’s effort to transform a vacant lot across the street from Paradise where “mounds of construction rubble and other garbage” stuck out from the landscape like tombs. “‘Now, how would that be, to be sitting over there in Paradise, and you look over here and all you see is junk?’ […] ‘That’s not right. If we want the children to grow up to appreciate beautiful things, we need to put beautiful things where they can see them.’” Peery, members of her Green Team recalled, was a survivor and a fighter, who went to bat for herself and for others. When she was 30 years old, Peery was diagnosed with breast cancer. The experience deepened her resolve, her sense of purpose, she told the Tribune in 2000. “When you get cancer at an early age like that, if you do nothing, you die,” she said. “I wasn’t planning to die. I planned to keep living — and I still do.” Peery went on to local renown through her gardening efforts, winning a slew of awards, including an acknowledgement from former Chicago mayor Richard Daley for her work in his City in a Garden program. In 2014, Peery won first place in a Philadelphia gardening competition. Peery’s likeness now hangs in City Hall, Watson said.

World Harmony Run

In 2015, while tending to a ceremony in one of her gardens, she said, “I’m on a walker now, but I haven’t always been on this walker. I’m used to having wheelbarrows and shovels and rakes in my hand.” Peery was steel-willed deep into old age. “She labored so hard for freedom for over 30 years in the Austin area,” Watson add-

ed. “When we’d be out in the garden and it looked like it was going to rain, she’d tell us she had a line through to God and that it wouldn’t rain until she got her work done. And right when we got the last shovel on the truck, it would pour down. She’d say, ‘Thank you Lord, my work is done.’” CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com

This Thanksgiving Day, three young entrepreneurs will take to the corner of Madison and Pulaski to do what they’ve done since attending Southern Illinois University in Carbondale — help out those in need. Austin natives Wesley Lofton, 25, and Kelvin Ison, 28, met South Sider VerShaunte King, 26, while working on a charity prom event in college. It was called Makeover My Prom and was designed to provide underprivileged female students with the prom experience of their dreams. “I was so inspired to see them doing that, I approached Kelvin about collaboration on more things like that,” said Lofton, a rapper who goes by the name of Richie Wes. “Things went from there. This is something we wanted to do strictly for the people and our community, so we all decided not to look for sponsorships or crowdfunding. We’re doing this out of our own pockets.” The three businesspeople started serving free Thanksgiving meals on the West Side in 2015, when they fed about 150 people. The next year, the number of people fed tripled. This year, they hope to feed up to 1,000 people with roughly two dozen volunteers. To the organizers, this is more than a charity—it’s a movement, the Everybody Eats movement to be precise. “Our goal for next year is to hit the South Side as well,” said King, who owns her own boutique fashion company called V the Brand. King and her two collaborators said that they want to be models to show young people that innovation doesn’t only apply to profit-

Scratch Kitchen owner Patrick O’Brien chose to bank with Forest Park National Bank.

We’ve got the space you need! making pursuits — they can also be entrepreneurial about higher pursuits, such as feeding those in need. “We want to make our mark on the community and help people in the struggle and who need hot meals on Thanksgiving,” King said. “We thought this was a great way to serve the community and inspire people around us to get involved.” Ison owns Telescope Entertainment, a talent management company, along with other businesses, including tax and fitness firms. “It’s always been in me to be an entrepreneur and to do things on my own,” he said. “Everybody is collectively bringing what they can to the table,” said Lofton. “This is power to the people. We’re just trying to do our part so that we can help those people who, on a daily basis, struggle with food and shelter.” The Everybody Eats Thanksgiving Day meal will take place on the corner of Madison and Pulaski on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 23, 11 a.m. CONTACT: michael@austinweeklynews.com

West Siders march against armed robberies More than a dozen have taken place in Austin’s 15th Dist. since September By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

During a Nov. 17 rally and march that started at 900 N. Massasoit, dozens of community members, galvanized by the Westside Health Authority’s Good Neighbor Campaign, gathered to send a message that a recent spate of armed robberies in the area won’t be tolerated. Since late September, according to Chicago Police Department data, at least 13 armed and strong armed robberies have taken place in the 15th District, six of them have happened on between the 800 and 1100 blocks of North Massasoit. The earliest incidents have taken place at 9:30 a.m. (Oct. 15, on the 100 block of North Massasoit) while

the latest incident has happened at 11:30 p.m. (Oct. 28, on the 5900 block of West Division). “In each incident, the offender(s) approached the victims while they are walking alone or seated alone in their vehicles,” the police stated. “The offenders then strike the victims or produce a weapon and demand the victim’s property and/or vehicles.” According to police, between two and six offenders, all of the black males between 16 and 21 years old, have been suspected in the robberies. “The offenders usually approach the victims with their hoods up or wearing masks,” police said. “At least one of the offenders has dreadlocks and another may have three tear drops tattooed on his face.” Anyone with information on the incidents are asked to contact Area North detectives at (312) 744-8263.

wood and Hermosa before coming to Austin. “It’s all about cultivating hope, peace and love, which will inspire action,” she said. For Spain, tap dancing has led her to a broader world with more possibilities. Before joining the girls’ tap dance group, Spain was enrolled in a youth program called Better Boys Foundation in North Lawndale, also run by Barrett. She was seven when they asked if she wanted to try tap dancing. Since then, Barrett has been her instructor and mentor whose stories of the history and culture about her roots have ignited Spain’s interest in African studies. Living with her mother and younger brother in Austin all her life, Spain believes programs like this will help address the violence in her community. “Because it will bring more kids off the streets and into an open community where they meet other people,” she said. While learning dance moves, Spain has become friends with a dozen girls age 14 to 18 from communities outside of Austin but who also share the similar experience of growing up on Chicago’s South and West sides. The girls have been performing across the city, including the Downtown Goodman Theater, where they premiered EmpoWOMENt earlier this year. The tap dance piece, directed by Barrett, is a powerful expression against violence and the social injustices facing young, AfricanAmerican women, he said. “These young ladies are just learning how to use their art form to express and educate themselves, but also to protest against things that they feel are wrong,” said Bar-

rett, a longtime tap dance educator. “When I teach tap, I like to teach history,” said Barrett, founder of Making A Difference Dancing (M.A.D.D.) Rhythms Tap Academy. One of the stories he often tells them is how female tap dancers managed to break the oppression they faced on stage. “At one time in tap, women were only supposed to be chorus girls,” he said. “They were supposed to be in the back, looking pretty.” An interview with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, who were tap dance partners in the 1930s, drew attention to the important role female tap dancers have played, Barrett said. When Astaire, “the star so to speak,” was asked whether his female partner was as good as him, Rogers stepped up and spoke for herself. “She said that, ‘I have to do everything he does backwards and in heels,’” Barrett said. The program, which has a partnership with After School Matters, is a job training initiative that aims to prepare aspiring tap dancers at professional level, but Barrett hopes the skills they learn can be applied well beyond tap. “They’ve learned how to speak up and how to demand excellence,” he said. One more thing the Lawndale native has been trying to do, he said, is to generate peace and unity within South and West side communities. “A lot of people think that people from the West Side and the South Side don’t get along,” he said. “We are shattering that myth because these young ladies are from both sides of the city.” “But also again, they are learning how to fight with their art form,” he said. “I think the more people learn to fight constructively, the less they will fight to the detriment of others.” Marcus Robinson of Englewood, managing director of Collaboraction, agreed, adding engaging youths with art performance can be life changing.

Davis, Boykin endorse Kennedy Rev. Ira Acree, Robert Shaw also endorsed the businessman By MICHAEL ROMAIN Editor

After a Nov. 19 service at Greater St. John Bible Church, 1256 N. Waller Ave. in Austin, U.S. Congressman Danny K. Davis and Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin (1st), along with former Chicago alderman Robert Shaw and Greater St. John’s pastor, Rev. Ira Acree, enthusiastically announced that they are endorsing Democratic gubernatorial candidate Chris Kennedy. “I am very impressed with Chris and his willingness to go to bat for the poor,” said Acree. “We have many good leaders who are looking out for the middle class and a whole lot, even in the White House, looking out for the wealthy. But Illinois, we need a governor who is truly looking out of for the needs of the working class in every community across this state.” Boykin said his endorsement of the businessman, who is the son of Sen. Bobby Kennedy and nephew of President John F. Kennedy, was premised, in part, on Kennedy’s eightpoint plan to deal with the Chicago area’s gun violence. “We need leadership who understands something about this horrific gun violence in the city and the state of Illinois and I believe that Chris Kennedy is the person,” Boykin said. “His father was killed by gun violence. The son of his running mate was killed by gun violence, so they truly understand this on a level that none of us will understand it.” Kennedy’s running mate, Ra Joy, the executive director of Change Illinois, an advocacy organization that focuses on government reform, lost his 23-year-old son, Xavier Joy, in June on the city’s South Side.

Davis touted his long relationship with the Kennedy family during his two decades in Congress and even as a young man coming upon the voting age. “I endorse Chris Kennedy because I have been inspired and motivated by the Kennedy family,” Davis said. “I voted, probably for the first time, for John Fitzgerald Kennedy to be president of the United States. I was at that age. I was at the age where I was getting involved and becoming knowledgeable.” Davis praised the late Sen. Edward Kennedy for his work in healthcare, saying that the late senator had done more for improving the nation’s modern healthcare system “than anyone I know.” The congressman said that he also had a close working relationship with Rep. Patrick Kennedy, Edward Kennedy’s son, in the area of mental health legislation. “I brought Patrick Kennedy right here to this neighborhood,” Davis recalled. “We spent a weekend visiting drug recovery homes and people who were mentally ill. When Patrick was in Congress, nobody did more to advance the cause of mental health than Patrick — my friend, a guy who I worked with, same committee, same interest.” Davis portrayed Kennedy as the candidate in the Democratic gubernatorial race who isn’t aligned with special interests. Returning the favor, Chris Kennedy vouchsafed Davis’s relationship with the Kennedy family and praised his work in Congress. “Congressman Davis has worked with four members of my family,” Kennedy said, adding that Davis worked with his older brother, Joseph P. Kennedy II, to “force the big banks to reinvest in communities and neighborhoods across the United States.” Kennedy said that, in addition to working with his uncle, Ted

Kennedy, and his cousin, Patrick, in Congress, Davis also pushed him when he was chairman of the board of the University of Illinois. “Davis pushed me when I was chairman of the board of the University of Illinois to reinvest in [the Mile Square Health Center],” Kennedy said. “We created a state-of-theart facility that’s the nicest in the country because [Davis] believed, and I believe, that no matter where you live you should have access to great healthcare.” Kennedy framed his candidacy as anti-establishment, in the vein of his father’s famous battles against Democratic president Lyndon B. Johnson, “who was sending primarily people of color to fight the wrong war in Southeast Asia.” Kennedy said that he encouraged Davis to hold him to his campaign promises.

A Turkey Day discussion you’ll be thankful for

appy Turkey Day! Normally around this time of the year, I do a column asking the adults in the household to hold a discussion with their young people about life and how your young people should not put themselves into situations that are life altering. The average age for criminal activity used to be when men were in their early 20s. It then changed to men in their late teens. Now the age I often see in news reports on major crimes like shootings and carjackings is 15 and 16. It is still predominately male but females are also involved, especially with group or mob attacks. Our young people still need serious guidance. But as the criminal gets younger and younger, I wonder if their parents’ ages are also getting younger? The old adage, “I wanna grow up with my kids,” is tempered by the reality that young parents frequently lack many of the skills needed to successfully rear a child. Besides, talking about crime and criminal behavior around the dinner table is a downer. So although I still advocate at least touching on the subject at some point, I’d like to suggest a different subject this year that should be

more appetizing with turkey and dressing. The subject? Which relative first came to Chicago and from where? I was reading a news report about Puerto Ricans leaving their island after the devastation from Hurricane Maria. The writer titled it, “The Great Migration,” and that bothered me. That label is the historical tale of blacks leaving the South in search of economic opportunities and to get away from Jim Crow laws and the economic devastation of sharecropper living. It was not due to any natural disaster. I have much empathy for the devastation that occurred in Puerto Rico. But those leaving the island weren’t decimated for decades like the blacks who fled the South heading North. Anyway, I digress. My family is rare in that they didn’t migrate directly from the South. My grandfather left the South in the early 1920s and moved his family to California. When his marriage to my grandmother ended, he came to Chicago via a route that first took him to Detroit. Like all the others who migrated, my grandfather’s route runs parallel to the railroad. He worked for them,

ARLENE JONES

but I’m not sure if he was a Pullman Porter. My grandfather, upon settling down here, immediately brought three of his six children with him. Black men in those days didn’t walk out on their families like this current crop so readily does. My grandfather was among that first generation born after the end of slavery. He was reared, like many were, by former slaves who appreciated family and took total responsibility for the children they created.

Does your family know the first person who left the South and came to Chicago in search of a better life? My family roots are on the South Side because that is where the train dropped them. Westsiders, meanwhile, ended up on this part of town because of the trains arriving from Arkansas and Mississippi. So have that talk and let your family know the rich history that abounds in it. There is too much knowledge that oftentimes gets taken to the grave, which should have been shared.

ed for the second round of grants from the Neighborhood Opportunity Fund. Five Austin businesses were selected in the first round of funding earlier this year.

Enriching the Spirit. Motivating Action. A creed of community and social justice.

Third Unitarian Church

Sunday: 11am Worship • Rev. Colleen Vahey, Minister 10am Community Forum, 12 Coffee Hour 301 N. Mayfield* (773) 626-9385 thirdunitarianchurch.org *Central Austin Neighborhood Association meets here.

To be eligible, projects must be related to new construction or the rehabilitation of existing buildings, and show they will have an impact on the neighborhood. The West Austin Development Center, a non-profit childcare center, was one of 32 businesses to be awarded grants earlier this year. They are using the funds to help build a 75-to 100-person theater, according to the organization’s director. “The goal is to have a facility to house our own functions and be an available space for the community,” Tonja Brown said. Brown said there is a lack of large venues in the neighborhood; the new theater will be able to host graduation ceremonies and black history programming, among other events. Two other Austin awardees will be using the grant funding to open new shops in Austin. Brown Sugar Bakery plans to rehab the commercial space located at 4800 W. Chicago Ave. for a new location. A new business called Shuga Rush will be rehabbing a storefront space located at 5904

W. Madison St. to operate a sweet shop offering candy and pastries. Grants have also been awarded to two existing Austin restaurants for building improvements: MacArthur’s received funding to help pay for repairs to the roof system of the restaurant located at 5412 W. Madison St. Nearby Uncle Remus restaurant received a grant to finance floor repairs, new roofing, and fencing and facade improvements for their 5611. W. Madison St. location. Businesses applying for funding are eligible for up to $250,000 unless they are located in an Eligible Commercial corridor in which case they could receive grants in excess of $250,000. Grant applications for the second round of funding are due Dec. 22, 2017. Applicants can email city staff with questions at nof@cityofchicago.org. Qualifying applications that are not funded will be automatically submitted for the following application round. CONTACT: austintalks.org@gmail.com
