BROTHER OSHI ADELABU Oshiyemi (Oshi) Adelabu

By Taki S. Raton

Well over 200 community members, area stakeholders, friends and family came out Saturday, November 15 at the Wisconsin Black Historical Society and Museum, 2620 West Center Street, to say “Good-Bye” to our good Brother, community activist and retired Fire Department Captain, Oshiyemi Adelabu who will be relocating to Atlanta, Georgia the weekend of November 21, 2014.

Deeply embraced words of tributes, salutations, and proclamations both from the stage podium and the floor where shared noting his life service in the uplift and progressive building and cultivation of Milwaukee’s African American community.

“Brother Oshi” as he is locally and nationally known, joined the Milwaukee Fire Department in

1976. He received a Class A Merit Service Award for bravery in 1978 and again in 1980. He is an active member of the Milwaukee Brotherhood of Fire Fighters, an organization dedicated to assisting fire fighters throughout the ranks of the department.

In December of 2002, Adelabu was promoted to Captain during an historic ceremony where eight African American, one Latino and one female were promoted in the fire department ranks.

He is a member and past-president of the International Association of Black Profession Fire Fighters (IABFF) and is also a graduate of the “Dr. Carl Holmes” Executive Development Institute (EDI) program, an initiative designed to enhance the professional knowledge and competency of fire

officers. Bro. Oshi was instrumental in helping fire fighters from other counties participate in this offering.

He has worked with many youth groups throughout the city of Milwaukee and has more than thirty-years affiliation with such organizations as the Salvation Army Panthers, Central City Scholarship Committee, Hillside Boys and Girls Club, Athletes for Youth (AFY) and the Midwest Minority Officials Basketball Association. He has during such engagements helped young athletes experience and excel in a variety of sports activities.

Adelabu is a mentor, a community activist and has served as an African and African-American (continued on page 5)

TAMMY GRIFFIN-RICE: “His Smile!”

JOSEPHINE D. HILL, Director of the Wisconsin African American Women’s (WAAW)Center: “His support; he never says no. When I call upon him to do something for the WAAW Center he responds positively and with a smile.”

Milwaukee Alderman and Mayoral Candidate Joe Davis, Sr. has called on Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm to either make a decision now in the Dontre Hamilton case or resign.

“The request I have on behalf of my beloved City of Milwaukee regarding these circumstances is that the District Attorney either make a decision NOW in the possible Dontre Hamilton/State of Wisconsin vs.

Ald. Joe Davis Christopher Manney case, or RESIGN. You don’t have the right to tear my city apart,” stated Davis in a press release from his city hall office.

In the release, Davis said he decided to speak out on the matter after attending a recent Fire and Police Commission meeting at Washington Park Senior Center as the commission discussed the October firing of Milwaukee Police Officer Christopher Manney.

Manney is the White officer who Dontre Hamilton was fired by Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn last month for violating police procedures dealing with mentally ill individuals.

Manney fatally shot Hamilton, who was Black, 14 times in Red Arrow Park downtown across the street from city Hall.

Hamilton (who his family said suffered from schizophrenia) was sleeping in the park this past April 30—which is not against any city or D.A. John Chisholm county ordinance—when Manney, responding to a call, approached Hamilton and began to pat him down.

According to police officials—as reported on theRoot.com—a scuffle ensued and Manney drew his weapon and shot 14 times, killing Hamilton, who was 31 years of age.

Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn, in a statement announcing the firing of Manney, noted Hamilton had been checked—twice by other Milwaukee police officers—prior to the confrontation and had not been deemed harmful to public safety.

Since the incident, Hamilton’s family has been fighting for justice in the case, informing the public that while he suffered from a mental illness, he was not violent.

A series of demonstrations and vigils have been held at Red Arrow Park and other parts of the city—specifically downtown—on behalf of Hamilton calling attention to the shooting and demanding justice.

A new state law requires the state Justice Department’s Department of Criminal Investigation (DCI) to investigate all officer-involved shootings.

The district attorney’s office then reviews the DCI’s probe and makes a decision based on the evidence found during the investigation.

Since the state investigation wrapped up several months ago, Chisholm has still not announced a decision whether or not to charge Manney with a crime.

In his press statement, Davis said it was at the meeting he came to the realization that the issue was dividing the city not only by race, but with the “venom of hatred. And one major entity fueling this environment is District (continued on page 5)

Medicare’s “Extra Help” program helps people with limited income pay for their prescription medications

Making ends meet should not mean going without your medications. If you have limited income and resources, you may qualify for Extra

Help to pay for some health care and prescription drug costs.

Drug costs in 2015 for most people who qualify for Extra Help will be no

more than $2.65 for each generic drug and $6.60 for each brand-name drug.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services estimates that more than 2 million people with Medicare may be eligible for Extra Help, but aren’t currently enrolled to take advantage of these savings. A recent law changed how your income and assets are counted: • Life insurance policies don’t count as resources • Any help you get from relatives, friends, and others to pay for household expenses—like food, mortgage, rent, heating fuel or gas, electricity, water, and property taxes—doesn’t count as income Many People Qualify and Don’t Know It Even if you were previously turned down for Extra Help due to income or resource levels, you should reapply. If you qualify, you’ll get help paying for Medicare prescription drug coverage premiums, copayments, and deductibles. To qualify,

you must make less than $17,505 a year (or $23,595 for married couples).

Even if your annual income is higher, you still may be able to get some extra help. Your resources must also be limited to $13,440 (or $26,860 for married couples). Resources include bank accounts, stocks, and bonds, but not your house or car.

There’s No Cost or Obligation to Apply It’s easy and free to apply for “Extra Help.” You or a family member, trusted counselor, or caregiver can apply online at socialsecurity.gov/i1020 or call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213. TTY users should call 1-800-325-0778.

All the information you give is confidential. You can also get help in your community from your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), Area Agencies on Aging (AAA), the Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRC), and many tribal organizations.

The Milwaukee Urban League (MUL) and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) recently held a community forum for the I-94 East-West study in Milwaukee County. The forum was held at the DNR Building, 2300 N. Dr. Martin Luther King Drive.

WisDot wanted input from the community as to how a section of the 50-year-old freeway should be rebuilt and the potential impacts of the proposed alternatives.

MCJ EDITORIAL Remembering Annette Polly Williams: Servant, leader, mentor...and rebel!

“Polly Williams was a Rebel!”

That’s how former Milwaukee Public School Superintendent and education reform advocate Dr. Howard Fuller described his friend and fellow school reform ally, former state Rep. Annette Polly Williams at her funeral held Tuesday at Parklawn Assembly of God. Indeed, the former legislator was just that—a rebel in the truest sense of the word. She was a rebel with a cause that changed Annette Polly Williams the paradigm of American education.

As anyone who has or has had children in the Milwaukee Public School system or private schools that is or has participated in the program these past two decades knows, Williams was the “Mother” of Parental School Choice, the revolutionary program which gave lowincome parents the opportunity to send their children to private schools in Milwaukee and other parts of Wisconsin.

Rebels who do revolutionary things are not always well received or understood. Williams got a lot of heavy blowback from members of the state legislature—many of whom fellow Democrats—as well as the Milwaukee Public School system and the teacher’s union. These three entities charged Williams with trying to destroy the city’s public school system.

But Williams wasn’t out to destroy the education system. The former state legislator felt if Milwaukee’s public school system had some “competition” in the education of low-income children, it would force the district to reform itself and adopt curriculums and teaching methods that put children and their educational outcomes first, as well as make teachers more accountable and more receptive to parental involvement.

It worked! As the program pushed Milwaukee Pubic Schools to change--and change for the better--it raised the profile of such legendary independent schools that participated in the program: Urban Day, Harambee Community School, and Messmer High School, one of the first parochial schools to be part of the program when it was expanded to include religious schools.

Williams took her revolution to the nation…and the world, speaking at universities such as Harvard, trying to ignite other education revolts.

And, again, she was successful. Her championing of education reform helped change national policies regarding education that began to focus on real-world outcomes that took into consideration how children were taught, the impact of technology on society—especially children, the state of the nuclear family (especially the Black nuclear family), economics and the distribution of funds to support education and education reform.

And like any rebel, Williams would not be bossed, bought or bow to anyone who didn’t like her revolution…or her. She was unapologetically Black and would let you know it in a heartbeat. Her feisty demeanor and willingness to go toe-to-toe with anyone who got in her way was legendary and, no doubt, the basis for her legislative successes.

But we doubt history’s other rebels had the compassion and love for people Williams had. As former state legislative colleague now U.S. Congresswoman Gwen Moore said in last week’s MCJ edition, “Polly, however powerful, perfected the ‘servant leader’ model. She inspired me and other legislators across Wisconsin, demonstrating honest leadership through service.”

Rebel…leader…servant…mentor! Williams’ voice, energy, ideas, advice, and service will be missed!

Yes, Polly was a rebel!

UNIVERSALLY SPEAKING

By Rahim Islam

The Black Male: A Targeted Group, Part 4

I hope it's very clear; at least so far, that I believe the impact of slavery is directly linked to the struggles of the Black man in America. It is also my hope that, even if you don't agree with me, these articles should invoke some real thought on what really happened to our ancestors during this very tortuous time in America, and what the legacy of slavery is. I continue to argue that the American institution of slavery has had a greater impact on our people than we have been taught or fully appreciate.

The biggest damage done during the Rahim Islam enslavement of our ancestors was the emasculation of the Black man, and his leadership role as a provider and protector of his family and his community.

So after emancipation, America attempted to address the wrong it had perpetuated against the Black man and the Black family through public policy (i.e. Reconstruction) and land ownership (i.e.

40 acres and a mule, sharecropping, etc.). However none of these efforts were sustaining enough to have any real impact. Additionally, the psychological impact of slavery was never addressed, it's as if, once freed, these traumas and hurt would magically disappear. How inconsiderate and consistent were the slave masters regarding this issue, remember slave owners believed our ancestors weren't human. Animals don’t have a soul so there is no need to address their psyche.

In this part, I want to address some of the characteristics that evolved during slavery amongst our men that continue to cripple us today. As I stated previously, the white slave masters conducted numerous studies on how to perfect the American institution of slavery and they moved from “breaking a slave” to “making” a slave. Given the desperate state that all slaves lived under, he found that our ancestors had a great predisposition for intoxication and domestic violence.

So what did the slave master do? He encouraged family violence by pitting the man and woman against each other in the most primal ways (how does a man really feel when his wife is having sexual relations with the slave master and she tries to manage him by appearing to like it). Over time, these tricks created enemies and competitors of the Black man and woman.

Even today, there are too many examples where the relationship is marred between the Black man and Black woman. How else do you explain that nearly 75 percent of Black families are headed by women? Given the structural deficiencies that exist today, with the educational and economical advancement of Black women over Black men coupled with the mass media bombardment of “negative” Black men messages (i.e. he will only hurt you; I can do bad by myself; I don't need no man, etc.), these numbers can only get worse.

These conditions of deep rooted insecurities of our Black men were further exacerbated by the use of alcohol (self-medication). Where did we get alcohol from? The slave masters poured it into our families and allowed extreme usage at least one day a week (Sunday). This ritual has survived today, with so many of our fathers being, functional, drunks and extremely hostile to their spouses and children when drunk. We must remember that we’re only four to five generations from slavery and many of these negative characteristics are still alive and strong. It continues through the socialization process that we somehow replicate and even expand these pathologies generation after generation.

Today, in addition to alcoholism, our Black men have a predisposition for drug use. Just like during slavery, none of these intoxicants are grown or manufactured in our neighborhood but they somehow find their way into our community uninterrupted. Does this remind you of anything?

I personally can attest to the violence of a drunken father. When I was growing up, there were so many neighborhood bars and taverns where the men would frequent.

This predisposition for getting drunk - where did it come from? What is really being masked during these drunken rituals? I believe its pain that our men feel when they are face-to-face with their insecurities (both normal and those abnormal).

The only memories I have of my father and mother together is my father whipping my mother with a belt while she laid on the floor crying and pleading for him to stop, and seeing my mother come home with my father from a party with a very ugly and bloody black eye. What trauma did this cause me as a child?

As a child, I had to navigate and manage the emotions of my father (a grown man) to determine how much he had drank and how “high” he was because his moods would swing from love to hate in a matter of minutes.

This wasn’t an uncommon circumstance in the Black community. In fact, in the neighborhood I grew up in, this was very common.

All of my childhood friends were at different levels of this experience and I believe it affected us all negatively. Few of us survived this trauma, many of the boys I grew up with: died at an early age to gun violence; fell to longterm incarceration; became alcoholics and/or drug addicts; or in many cases,

become exactly what their fathers were.

There are so many legacies of slavery that is being passed down through generation posing a predisposition for too many of our Black men towards intoxication and domestic violence, both have produced broken and dysfunctional homes (i.e. children being socialized to an abnormal lifestyle and/or supporting of marital separation and divorce).

This dysfunction only reinforces the alarming number of Black families that are headed by single mothers. It also fortifies the trauma experienced by our ancestors which are being passed on to our children. If I'm to be honest with you, I'm still impacted by my childhood and if you're to be honest too, you are as well.

While intoxication and domestic violence are serious and flawed legacies of slavery, none is more damaging than how we actually raise our children, specifically the emotional and physical abuse that we have adopted.

We tell our boys that being a man means hiding his feelings, as if he shouldn't have any. It's no question that the boy is conflicted emotionally but he must figure out a way to be an emotional being and to hide it from others, this is a direct characteristic from slavery.

During slavery we were constantly taught and reminded that we were without a soul and therefore without feeling, our feelings didn't matter and if a mother was to create survival for her son, she had better train him to mask any pain or hurt. No matter what happens he is not suppose to respond and/or react. Since our emancipation and after several generations, our boys are denied the affection and love they need to become men.

How can you love when you’ve never been loved (emotional abandonment)? The combination of so many Black households without a father, coupled with the lack of expressed love that can only come from a father, creates an emotionally blinded boy who will replicate this behavior when he becomes an adult.

I can't ever remember my father telling me that he loved me if he was sober and not intoxicated. I know that I'm not alone. I also can't ever remember my father telling me that I was handsome in fact, just the opposite. Studies show that our boys suffer from an acute level of emotional abandonment that creates characteristics found in deaf children. One such study is "The Early Catastrophe: The 30 Million Word Gap by Age 3" by Betty Hart and Todd Risley. This study examines the number of words a child hears from a parent and/or adult between the ages of seven months to age three. The research is alarming.

On average, our children hear nearly five million less words annually than white children because of this slavery practice. The study also examines the percentage of positive to negative words a child hears and our children are, in many cases, behind when they start. Some studies show that our children, not only are not hearing enough words, the words they are hearing are nearly 60 percent more negative.

This phenomenon has created severe academic achievement gaps for our children by kindergarten (sometimes irreversible). Many of our boys suffer from a severe lack of self-esteem and abandonment-like symptoms causing significantly high levels of kindergarten boys being suspended, and being diagnosed with some special need designation.

In addition to the emotional abuse that our parents have perpetuated as a result of slavery, they have passed down the physical abuse under the guise of discipline (this too is the result of slavery). Too many of our children are extremely traumatized by slavery practices of discipline (i.e. whippings and beatings).

During slavery any/all rebellion by our young boys was met with extreme brutality by the slave master. In an effort to keep the boy alive, the mother was allowed to implement the punishment instead of the slave master. Her punishment was also severe and brutal but she definitely would keep the boy alive (this didn’t always happen when the slave master initiated the punishment). After years of this behavior and after our emancipation, our discipline of our children can only be categorized as inhuman and brutal, treatment befitting an animal (remember we're not human). I too was a victim of extreme physical abuse under the guise of discipline. I was beaten on a regular basis with a washing machine cord leaving welts on my body that took weeks to go down. What's even more sad, during the whippings, I was not allowed to cry even while the whelps were boiling up on my body (I'm not human). My father whipped me out of anger and with bad intentions, probably how he was disciplined. As a child, it was very hard to feel any love and this trauma affected me. When I became an adult, I too victimized my first three sons with a harsh discipline until I came to the realization that physical contact of any kind is inhuman and the legacy of slavery.

In the next segment, I will fastforward to our current situation and discuss how our Black men and Black boys are being targeted, which fundamentally and structurally keep our Black men from their families and ensures that the socialization process will produce the same pathologies on their children, thus the vicious cycle continues.

“Polly taught me that it is OK to stand up for what you believe against the political elite and powerful political party structure. I’ll miss her, but will find comfort knowing that in spirit she will be right at my side as I continue to fight for people who have no voice in the political arena, like children and victims of crime.”--Sheriff Clarke

My Tribute to Annette “Polly” Williams, 1937-2014

I was shocked and saddened to learn of the sudden death of former Wisconsin state legislator Annette “Polly” Williams. I lost a friend, a mentor, and a confidant. Polly’s petite stature belied her large presence in Milwaukee, which lasted long after she left political life.

I became aware of Polly due to her involvement in Milwaukee’s Parental Choice Program, which gives low-income parents a vehicle for their children to escape the underachieving Milwaukee Public Schools system.

For many parents and their children who are stuck in this monopolistic public education morass, the school choice option is the only hope for these kids to escape generational poverty, a life of crime, and low-paying jobs. Polly understood this.

This is where my admiration for Polly began, even though she and I disagreed on other social and political issues. Early in my public life, Polly

taught me conviction; that sometimes you have to put the best interests of people before partisan politics. Her support of education for poor minority children bucked the state and county Democratic Party.

This is the same political party that claims that everything it does for education is for the children, yet it fights against the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program, thereby keeping poor Black kids shackled to a failing school system.

The other virtue I learned from Polly is courage, which she displayed when she stood up to the Democratic Party.

Going against a political party can mean the end of one’s political career. Most do not survive, as the party runs opponents against you, raises money against you, and mobilizes voters against you, when you do not exhibit abject servility to their platform. (continued on page 5)

WGLB to present holiday Census data reveals program exploring the birth re-marriage rate on the rise and life of Jesus Christ Article courtesy of ABC News via “The Rundown”

If the last wedding you went to felt like deja vu, it may not be just the trendy buffets and cocktails. A growing number of Americans are saying 'I do' more than once.

An analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data released today by the Pew Research Center revealed that four in 10 new marriages in 2013 included at least one or both partners who had previously wed.

While marriage itself is in decline in the U.S., "previously married people are as willing as ever to jump back into wedlock," noted the study.

There are currently 42 million Americans who have taken multiple strolls down the aisle -- triple the number in 1960. Reasons behind the rise in recurring nuptials can be attributed to both an increased life expectancy and an increase in couples splitting up in the first place.

"Divorce has grown much more common in the last 50 years or so," said Pew's senior researcher Gretchen Livingston. "What this means is, there are a lot more people who are 'available' for remarriage. And aging has also contributed to the increase -- the older you are, the more likely you are to have ever remarried. In 1960, 46 percent of adults were ages 45 or older, and now that number is 53 percent."

But while Baby Boomers are happy to take a second spin to the wedding chapel, another trend revealed by the data is that younger generations are less inclined than they used to be.

"Over the last 50 years, the age pattern in the likelihood of remarriage has shifted dramatically," said Livingston.

"In 1960, almost three-fourths of previously married

adults younger than 55 had ever remarried, as compared with 42 percent of older adults. Since that time, there has been a retreat from remarriage among younger people."

Rachael Lubarsky, 40, of Falls Church, Va., told ABC News she had witnessed as much among her divorced friends.

"I happen to be friends with several women who decided not to get married again after a first marriage, and one after a second marriage," Lubarsky said.

"I think especially for professional women who are earning enough money on their own, there isn't the need to be married like there was a generation or two ago."

Of greater importance can be finding an enthusiastic co-parent.

"When I separated from my first husband, I was still relatively young and already a mother to a small child," said Lubarsky. "I definitely had my son's interests in mind when I began dating again, looking for someone who would be a good father figure. I really feel that kids benefit from regular contact from two parents who are on the same page in terms of child-rearing."

Anh Truong Little, 45, of Los Angeles, also didn't expect to walk down the aisle again after her first marriage dissolved eight years ago.

"My first marriage was kind of dysfunctional and so for my children's sake I decided that we would be much happier out of that," she said. "I didn't think remarrying was an option, because my children were my first priority and you don't expect to find someone who will love them as unconditionally as you do."

Religious radio station WGLBFM 1560 will present a special holiday broadcast titled, “Meet the King,” on Saturday, Dec. 6, at 11:30 a.m.

The program will be hosted by Professor E. Adekunle-Wilson with special youth guests.

“Meet the King,” will provide clear answers and insights regarding the birth and life of the “King of Kings (Jesus Christ), a clear definititon and examples of sin and our rescue.

The program will offer an opportunity for youth to recive their own free copy of “Meet the King” book at WGLB’s station, and youth listeners are invited to free future Bible study in two ways: By free mail lessons with special prizes and /or Freebie computer games, emails, adventures and more.

There seems to be a focus on pain instead of gain, how much pain will the DA continue to cause by not making a decision before we understand this is not good for any community?

As he stood in the room the commission meeting was held, Davis noted the divide even in the way participants and audience members were seated, realizing it reflected the current divide in the city.

“The Milwaukee Police Association’s (MPA) predominately white members were on one side, and the community members who were predominately Black were on the other side, with the aisle dividing the two groups.

It is painful to hear the frustration on both sides as this obligation from the DA’s office to decide to charge Officer Manney, or not. lingers on, and on, and on.

Davis noted he had spoken to Chisholm about the issue “some time ago” and was told a decision would be made soon, only to realize he didn’t keep his word. “He (Chisholm) has met with the Hamilton family and shared information from the Department of Criminal Investigation’s report with the family and legal counsel, and still no decision,” Davis lamented.

“He has assured those of us who have supported him in the past that the DA’s office would run with the community’s trust in mind, but we are now witnessing a pattern of disregard for closure.

“And finally, as the City of Milwaukee faces yet another setback coming from the Office of the District Attorney, we now are hearing the tagline of Ferguson when relating to our city.

Davis is referring to Ferguson, Missouri where they are awaiting a ruling by the St. Louis County grand jury on whether White Officer Darren Wilson should stand trail in the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, a 18-year-old Black male. Brown reportedly had his hands up when he was shot six times

by Wilson. Images of Brown’s body lying in the streets went viral through social media, touching off a firestorm of outrage and protests amid accusations of police brutality and racism.

Wraparound Milwaukee Receives Federal Grant to Combat Effects of Sex Trafficking

A nearly half-million dollar federal grant will provide new resources for some of the most vulnerable youth in Milwaukee County. The Office of Juvenile Justice & Delinquency Prevention is providing $449,426 to create the Milwaukee County Youth Living Out Loud mentoring program.

The program will offer specialized mentoring for youth age 17 or younger who have been commercially sexual exploited or domestically sex trafficked. Milwaukee is one of just three sites across the U.S. chosen to receive this funding.

Research shows children who are trafficked, or forced into early marriage, prostitution, pornography, and other sex crimes are often socially isolated, afraid, and ashamed.

Many youth are coerced into sexual activities to meet their daily needs for food and shelter and feel returning to the streets is their only option for escaping these situations. Mentoring programs have been found to offer a lifeline to youth. Mentoring can empower young girls and boys to get out of the commercial sex industry. Regular engagement with a mentor has also been shown to result in accelerated social development for youth who have been commercially sexually exploited or trafficked.

The problem of sex crimes against youth in Milwaukee County has been highlighted in recent years. During a nationwide FBI sweep in 2013 Milwaukee had the second highest number of recoveries of juveniles involved in trafficking; and a study of Milwaukee Police Department data identifies 77 youth has having been trafficked between 2010 and 2012. That number does not include ongoing investigations, cases from other police departments within the county, federal cases involving Milwaukee youth, or undetected cases. Milwaukee County has already made significant strides toward improving the identification and treatment of medical and mental health needs of youth involved in sex crimes. Milwaukee County Youth Living Out Loud will build on existing resources and steps already taken within the community.

Wraparound Milwaukee is partnering with La Causa Inc., Rethink Resources, the Medical College of Wisconsin, and Diverse & Resilient to run the program. Wraparound is a unique managed care program that is designed to provide comprehensive, individualized and cost effective care to children with complex mental health and emotional needs.

My Tribute toAnnette “Polly” Williams

(continued from page 3) The Democratic Party did that to Polly simply because of her courageous stance to give poor Black kids an escape from a failing school system and a chance at a full productive life. On most every other issue she was a reliable Democrat voter and supporter, but that did not matter in the political environment.

Polly displayed another act of courage this past summer when she publically supported me for re-election as Sheriff. In Democratic Party circles, publically declaring support for Sheriff David Clarke is a no-no.

My friend Polly knew that the Clarke haters would attack her, but she didn’t care. She said to me, “You’re the right man for the job and you care about this community,” which she declared on her weekly urban talk radio program.

She displayed my yard sign in front of her central city

home and got flak for doing so. THAT, takes courage.

There was nothing in it for her. Once again she did what she felt was right in her mind and soul like she did for poor minority children in Milwaukee. Her support of me is not what I admire.

I admire her courage doing so in the face of the blowback she knew would follow, and which ultimately did.

Polly only feared God. Polly taught me that it is OK to stand up for what you believe against the political elite and powerful political party structure.

I’ll miss her, but will find comfort knowing that in spirit she will be right at my side as I continue to fight for people who have no voice in the political arena, like children and victims of crime.

Polly, rest in peace, I’ll run with the torch for now. You are my profile in courage.

(continued on page 1) History lecturer for the Milwaukee Public Schools. His mentoring credentials include the Amachi Model program. Founded by former Philadelphia Mayor Wilson Goode, the Amachi Model program is a national effort designed to provide mentors for young men whose parents are incarcerated.

Bro. Oshi’s dedication to community service has won him awards from organizations such as the Wisconsin Association for Sickle Cell, Wisconsin Black Social Workers, the Black Excellence Award and the Channel 12, Twelve Who Care Volunteer of the Year Award.

His organizational affiliation include, co-founder of 100 Black Men of Milwaukee, past vice-president of the NAACP Milwaukee Chapter, area chairperson of the National Black United Front, founding member of the Milwaukee ASCAC Study Group (The Association for the Study of Classical African Civilization), and past president of African World Festival.

He says that his objective in life is to, “help change the lives, conditions and consciousness of people of all cultures by being a positive role model and through community service.”

Dr. William Rogers who was not present and is currently in Atlanta working on a consultant project sent his regards which were read from the podium. Dr. Rogers says in part: “This is not a notation of goodbye, but a message of ‘Welcome to Atlanta.’ Wish I could be there with you today as the community celebrates your work, vision and legacy.

You have been a light and inspiration to all of us. I thank the Creator and the Ancestors for your loving and unselfish spirit toward our people.”

And this writer would like to personally share his appreciation and respect of Bro. Oshi’s commitment and service to the African American community here in Milwaukee.

In scripting the mirror of the exemplar reflecting the Highest Order standing of Black men who work for our people, the words of Haki R. Madhubuti quickly comes

to mind in his poem, “You Will Recognize Your Brothers” from his 2009 published title, “Liberation Narratives – New and Collected Poems 1966-2009”.

The reader would please be advised that this poem as herein published has been reformatted by this writer from its original poetic verse version to paragraph sentencing notation in consideration of newsprint space detailing.

To Bro. Oshi – thank you for being our model of liberation: “You will recognize your brothers by the way they act and move throughout the world.

There will be a strange force about them. There will be unspoken answers in them. This will be obvious not only to you but to many.

“The confidence they have in themselves and in their people will be evident in their quiet saneness. The way they relate to women will be clean, complementary, responsible, with honesty and as partners. The way they relate to children will be strong and soft, full of positive direction and as an example. The way they relate to men will be that of questioning our position in this world; will be one of planning for movement and change, will be one of working for their people, will be one of gaining and maintaining trust within the culture.

“These men at first will seem strange and unusual, but this will not be the case for long. They will train others and the discipline they display will be a way of life for many. They know that this is difficult, but this is the life that they have chosen for themselves, for us, for life.

“They will be the examples. They will be the answers, they will be the first line builders, they will be the creators, they will be the first to give up the weakening pleasures, they will be the first to share a Black value system, they will be the workers, they will be the scholars, they will be the providers, they will be the historians, they will be the doctors, lawyers, farmers, priest and all that is needed for development and growth.

“You will recognize these brothers, and - they will not betray you.”

St. John’s Cathedral Receives $5,000 AT&T Donation to Support Open Door Café

AT&T Funding Will Support Lunch Program that Provides Nutritious Meals for Milwaukee’s Poor and Homeless

AT&T announced today an AT&T CARES contribution of $5,000 to The Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in Milwaukee to support the Open Door Café’s lunch program, which serves nutritious meals to the poor and homeless.

Since 2002, the Open Door Café meal program has been serving lunch to the homeless and working poor in Milwaukee. Its mission is to provide a nourishing meal for Milwaukee’s needy, served in a gracious, comfortable and safe environment.

In 2013, 57,000 lunches were

served, with approximately 180 guests each day.

“The Open Door Café depends on the efforts of our dedicated volunteers to help us meet the needs of Milwaukee’s hungry,” said Schauneille Allen, Director of Outreach Ministries at The Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist.

“We are very grateful not only for this generous financial contribution from AT&T, but also for the countless hours that the AT&T Pioneers have given in service to the less fortunate in our community over the years.”

The AT&T Wisconsin Pioneers have been helping serve lunches 23 days a month at the Open Door Café since April 2007.

Pioneers not only volunteer over 200 hours yearly, but they also provide donations for the Helen Loftus Christmas party at the Open Door café. Cash, gift cards, hats scarves, gloves and clothing were among the donated items for last year’s Christmas Party.

“We are very proud to support our neighbors in need through this $5,000 AT&T contribution to Open Door Café,” said Pam Clapper, president of the AT&T Wisconsin

Pioneers.

“We are also proud to help serve the noon-time meal to Milwaukee’s homeless and needy. Volunteers are the heart and soul of the Open Door Café family.”

The Open Door Café’s meal program is the only regular mid-day meal available in Milwaukee for the poor and homeless.

In addition to its lunch program, the Open Door Café also provides other support, including distributing resource cards with information about job opportunities, alcohol or drug treatment, health care, legal advice, shelters, food pantries and clothing.

Along with their Parish Nurse, the Open Door Café also offers the services of an outreach nurse from St. Ben’s Clinic on most Tuesdays.

In addition, they also provide hygiene kits, clean socks and bus transportation for doctor, dental and other medical appointments.

The contribution is part of a special initiative that awards local funding based on the nominations of AT&T employee groups.

The AT&T CARES Special Contribution Program, established in 2007, gives these groups, with a

strong record of volunteerism, the ability to identify non-profits making a local impact.

This year, through the nominations of AT&T Pioneer chapters, Employee Resource Groups (ERGS) and international regions, AT&T plans to provide $260,000 in contributions to 52 organizations.

The Open Door Café was selected by the AT&T Wisconsin Pioneers.

Employee volunteerism programs are part of the platform of initiatives provided by AT&T Community Engagement, which offers employees the opportunity to help our communities thrive.

By working together, we are carrying on AT&T’s legacy of giving and service, making a positive impact – one person, one neighborhood at a time.

For 100 years, AT&T employees have been donating their time and talents to support underserved populations and strengthen communities.

In 2013, employees and retirees took time to enhance their communities with 5.3 million volunteer hours donated for a total value of $118 million associated with volunteerism.

OURSTORY

The Legacy of Marcus Garvey

By Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr. NNPA Columnist

This year marks the 100 anniversary of the founding of the United Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) by the Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey.

I believe it is important for all people, especially for 45 million Black Americans, to remember the leadership and legacy of Marcus Garvey.

At this time across America, in the Caribbean, and in Africa, Black people are facing both the prolonged realities of multiple inequalities and new opportunities to strive forward on a global scale.

Our long struggle for freedom, justice and equality has had many different twists and turns.

Historically, we have always found ways not to permit the forces of oppression to break our spirit or determination to achieve liberation.

During the last century, Black Americans have witnessed and supported the establishment of numerous local, national and international organizations.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was founded in 1909. The National Urban League (NUL) was established a year later.

Garvey started the UNIA in 1914 to instill racial pride and economic self-sufficiency for Black people in America and throughout the Pan African world.

Garvey supported complete independence of Africa and the unity of African people internationally.

Though he seldom receives credit for it, Marcus Garvey organized the largest mass movement of Black people in the world. One hundred years later, no one else has been able to match that feat.

This is the perfect time to remind everyone Marcus Garvey’s accomplishments, primarily because there is a significant opportunity once again for Black people in America, the Caribbean and in Africa to unite around issues concerning economic development and self-sufficiency as a result of Pan African consciousness.

The strategic international emergence of the African Union in Africa that recognizes the inclusion of Black American leaders is an important advance.

In addition, Congressman Charles H. Rangel (D-N.Y.) plans to reintroduce a bill to officially restore the good name of Marcus Garvey in the United States.

We should support Rangel’s legislative initiative to clear Marcus Garvey of the framed-up charges that led President Calvin Coolidge in 1927 to order Garvey to be deported and permanently banned from the U.S. In fact all of us should contact members of Congress, especially member of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), and let them know of our support of the Rangel ill. Beyond that, our young people should be encouraged to study the organizational methods of Garveyism.

There are so many young leaders in our communities who could be inspired by tenacious views of Garvey.

I was fortunate recently to spend some time with the son of Marcus Garvey, Dr. Julius Garvey, recently at the 9th annual Caribbean Business

MARCUS GARVEY

Conference in Nassau, Bahamas.

The younger Garvey is an accomplished surgeon and leading medical scientist who now resides in New York.

We discussed the public and legislative campaign to render justice to the name and legacy of his father.

We do not have to repeat the past.

But we should certainly learn from our past so that we can change the future to help transform our world into a better place for all.

Milwaukee resident begins term of service with Milwaukee nonprofit AmeriCorps member Trenice Ferguson serves on Community Partners Team with College Possible Milwaukee

Milwaukee native Trenice Ferguson has recently begun a year of full-time service with College Possible Milwaukee. College Possible works to make college admission and success possible for low-income students in Milwaukee by providing after-school college access programming to nearly 700 juniors and seniors at 13 high schools.

The organization serves more than 800 students through its college program, as they work to complete their degrees.

As an AmeriCorps member and member of the Community Partners Team, Ferguson plans and executes college campus visits for College Possible high school students.

“My favorite part of my job is when students or coaches request a visit to a certain campus and I can make it happen,” says Ferguson.

A resident of Milwaukee, WI, Ferguson attended Milwaukee School of Languages and graduated from Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design (MIAD) with degrees in drawing and video production.

While at MIAD, Ferguson worked as a student assistant in the development department and as a special events assistant. She credits her decision to serve with College Possible to these opportunities that she had in college.

“For all my life, I’ve tried to be involved and help others,” says Ferguson. “Plus, this position was like all of my previous jobs rolled into one; which was perfect. It’s a lot more pressure, but I like pressure.”

After completing her first term of service with College Possible, Ferguson is considering serving a second term or finding a job in the event-planning industry.
