2020 Pulitzer Prize winners include many writers of color

Remembering Those We Have Lost

Ida B. Wells

Colson Whitehead

Michael R. Jackson

Nikole Hannah-Jones

There were a couple of firsts in this year's announcement of the winners of the Pulitzer Prize. First off, it was done remotely on Monday, May 4, 2020, because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

"It goes without saying that today, we announce the Pulitzer winners in deeply trying times," said Dana Canedy, the administrator of the prizes, from her living room.

"Despite relentless assaults on objective truth, coordinated efforts to undermine our nation's free press and persistent economic headwinds, journalists continue to pursue and deliver essential facts and truths to keep

us safe and protect our democracy."

The other new twist was the inaugural award for audio reporting, which went to the staff of the public radio show and podcast, This American Life, along with Los Angeles Times reporter Molly O'Toole and Vice News freelance reporter Emily Green.

The winning episode, "The Out Crowd," covered the impact on individuals of President Trump's "Remain in Mexico" policies.

The board also awarded a special citation to Ida B. Wells — the journalist and suffragist who spent the 1890s documenting lynching in the United States.

Along with Ida B. Wells, many writers of color were honored with Pulitzers this year. On the Arts and Letters side, author Colson Whitehead won his second Pulitzer for his novel, The Nickel Boys. It's based on a real-life Florida reform school where students were physically and sexually abused (Whitehead previously won in 2017 for his book, The Underground Railroad. The board awarded the drama prize to Michael R. Jackson's A Strange Loop — a musical about a gay black man working as an usher at a Broadway show, writing a musical about a gay black man working as an usher at a Broadway show.

In music, composer Anthony Davis won for his opera The Central Park Five; and in poetry the The Tradition by Jericho Brown took the prize.

On the Journalism side of the award, Nikole Hannah-Jones of The New York Times won in the Commentary category.

The Pulitzer Prize is an award for achievements in newspaper, magazine and online journalism, literature, and musical composition in the United States. It was established in 1917 by provisions in the will of Joseph Pulitzer, who had made his fortune as a newspaper publisher, and is administered by Columbia University.

There are now nine testing sites available for Milwaukee’s North Side neighborhoods Starting this week, the Wisconsin National Guard will be pausing COVID-19 testing at its Midtown Center.

Residents of Milwaukee’s North Side neighborhoods can still access diagnostic COVID-19 testing at nine area hospital systems and community health centers.

Anyone experiencing COVID-19 symptoms should call their healthcare provider to set up an appointment. If you do not have a provider, call 2-1-1 to find a convenient location where you can speak with a nurse about your symptoms and be tested. There are no insurance, income or immigration restrictions for receiving a COVID-19 diagnostic test. All are welcome.

“In addition to the work of the National Guard, our healthcare system has testing available for symptomatic individuals at multiple locations across the city,” said Mayor Tom Barrett. “Do not let cost, lack of insurance or absence of a primary care doctor keep you from receiving care. There are plenty of resources available to help you during this time, and we

Former White House butler who served 11 presidents dies after contracting coronavirus Wilson Roosevelt Jerman, a former White House butler who worked under 11 US Presidents, has died after contracting coronavirus. He was 91 years old.

His granddaughter, Shanta Taylor Gay, told CNN. Jerman died on May 16, 2020.

"He was authentic. He was a quiet but stern man. Very giving, never fussed or complained. Always said he lived a blessed life," she said in an interview.

Gay said the family is "taking it day by day" in light of her grandfather's death.

FOX 5 DC was first to report Jerman's death.

The long-serving employee began working as a cleaner in the White House in 1957 under then-President Dwight D. Eisenhower. He was promoted to butler under former President John F. Kennedy, a move that was orchestrated by former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, granddaughter Jamila Garrett told FOX 5.

Wilson Roosevelt Jerman "Jackie O actually promoted him to a butler because of the relationship," Garrett said. "She was instrumental in ensuring that that happened."

Gay said Jerman initially retired from the White House in 1997 but went back to the White House in 2003. He left the White House in 2012 as maître d' under then-President Barack Obama.

Gay told CNN that her grandfather suffered a stroke in 2011 and the Obamas as-

sisted in making sure he was taken care of while in the hospital, even sending flowers. At the end of his career, Obama honored Jerman for his more than 50 years of service with a plaque and a coin to represent each President he served, Gay said.

Michelle Obama said in a statement to CNN on Thursday that the former first family was lucky to have known Jerman and that he had a generous spirit.

"With his kindness and

care, Wilson Jerman helped make the White House a home for decades of First Families, including ours," the former first lady said.

"His service to others -- his willingness to go above and beyond for the country he loved and all those whose lives he touched -- is a legacy worthy of his generous spirit. We were lucky to have known him. Barack and I send our sincerest love and prayers to his family."

"When growing up, he never discussed politics," Gay said. "And never judged by the Republican or Democrat.

It was all about the person independently and learning a person."

Former first lady Hillary Clinton tweeted that she and former President Bill Clinton are saddened by his death.

"Jerman served as a White House butler across 11 presidencies and made generations of first families feel at home, including ours," Clinton wrote on Thursday. "Our

warmest condolences to his loved ones."

Jenna Bush Hager, daughter of former President George W. Bush and former first lady Laura Bush and host of NBC's "Today with Hoda & Jenna," paid tribute to Jerman on Thursday at the beginning of the show. She said he was one of the reasons the White House felt like home.

"The reason why it felt like home was because of people like him," she said. "We loved him and he was beloved by my family, and he will be so missed."

She also shared a statement from her parents, who remembered Jerman as "a lovely man."

"He was the first person we saw the morning when we left the residence and each night when we returned," the Bushes said.

Businessman Frank Baker pays off tuition of Spelman College graduates

College graduations in 2020 are unlike any other.

From walking across virtual stages and Zoom graduation parties, the graduating class of 2020 will probably remember their final months of school like no one else.

Now, graduates are going into the real world with worries about the job market, this pandemic and so much more.

But the ladies in the graduating class of the HBCU Spelman College have one less thing to worry about: their tuition.

Frank Baker, the founder and managing partner of Siris, a leading private equity firm in technology and telecommunications that’s raised nearly $6.0 billion in capital, announced he is paying the tuition balances of about 50 seniors who are graduating from Spelman.

“The people who my heart really goes out to are women in their senior year who can’t afford it anymore and have to drop out,” said Baker.

“These are the most resilient people because if they run out of money their senior year, you know they were out of money their sophomore year and just made it work.”

Baker has spent $250,000 to cover the tuition balances of about 50 women so they could graduate this year with no money owed to Spelman College. He has also committed to continuing to spend no less than $1 million to help Spelman seniors in similar situations for the next three years.

Being Frank

By: Frank James Special to the Milwaukee Times

Resurrection of the economy The US economy has been in a state of flux for years.

There have been several mini-crashes on Wall Street since the Great Depression.

None of these has been as severe as the impact COVID 19 has had on the US economy. The situation became so critical that the US government sent out stimulus checks to citizens to keep people afloat. The stimulus check was a great idea but let’s tweak this plan to really impact the economy. Let’s give the next stimulus package only to African Americans and increase the amount to $50, 000.

I can hear white people and even African Americans shouting for my head. “Give $50,000 to some shiftless Negroes?” Hear me out.

The African American is the ultimate consumer. African Americans have no industry of their own to invest in. Many African Americans are not thinking about sending their children to college or saving money. African Americans have no country to send money back to in order to rejuvenate their home country's economy. Every dime of the fifty thousand

stores to hire more employees and malls to hire security.

This creates opportunities for employment and economic growth in an area of the economy that has suffered of late.

would be spent in the borders of the USA. Well a few African Americans may go on vacation in other countries.

Still even that money would be spent with US-based air or sea travel companies. Giving African Americans the money is a win for the country.

The auto industry would again boom like it was 1968.

The Big Three would have to hire new employees to keep African Americans in Chargers, Challengers, Camaros and Mustangs. Many African Americans would have to finance a part of the cost so this would stimulate the lending institutions in the USA. Insurance companies would benefit from the increase of new Detroit Iron

rolling off assembly lines and into the ghetto. Even the repossession trade would boom because there would be a number of African Americans who would wind up losing the car after paying over 50 percent of the cost.

Shopping malls in the US have taken an economic hit because of the COVID 19 pandemic. This stimulus plan would rectify the loss overnight. Malls would boom with the influx of African Americans with money. The doors of major malls would be torn off the hinges by the crowds of money-spending African Americans. This influx of African Americans with money would call for

Can you imagine the amount of Air Jordan, Polo, and PINK attire that would fly off the shelves? Nike could release more Jordan shoes than ever before. Foot Locker would need an entire floor of a mall to accommodate the number of African Americans pouring into the store. Victoria’s Secret would have to increase PINK production by 500 percent to keep African American females in legging so they can hit the club scene in ghetto fabulous style. All of this retail money would be staying in the US and stimulating the economy.

The restaurant industry would shatter any previous record for profits. From fast food to elite five-star restaurants, all would have lines around the block. African Americans have a high level of obesity for a reason and eating is the nominee. Can

you imagine how many African Americans would be sitting in restaurants daily for all three meals? Places like Cheesecake Factory, Olive Garden, and Friday’s would post profits never before even thought of. The old standby’s like McDonald’s and Popeye’s would also benefit from this influx of money to African Americans.

There you have it. If the US wants to truly stimulate the economy and be great again, give African Americans the money. It is not like African Americans would step into a higher level of citizenship from this. Once the fifty thousand is gone they will settle back into post slavery status. It’s all they know.

ALS Awareness Month - #ALSAwareness (Week 3) The Ice Bucket Challenge is one example of an event designed to raise awareness that inspired unparalleled giving on behalf of ALS Awareness. The Ice Bucket Challenge is an activity involving the dumping of a bucket of ice water over a person’s head, either by another person or self-administered. The Ice Bucket Challenge began as a way of promoting awareness of ALS (or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and raising funds for ALS research. The Ice Bucket Challenge went viral in 2014, especially in the United States. Celebrities, politicians and athletes participated in the Ice Bucket Challenge by posting videos of themselves online and on television. The Ice Bucket Challenge became so popular that it prompted organizations such as The Muscular Dystrophy Association to discontinue its annual 24-hour telethon and rethink and re-evaluate how it can connect with the public.1

ferently. In fact, no two individuals present exactly the same. Some people’s disease progresses very slowly, while others have changes that happen more quickly. Some individuals have severe involvement in one area before the disease spreads, while others experience rapid progression throughout their body. Some people may have severe weakness of one area, but little in others (e.g., unable to swallow but still able to walk and drive), and still others may demonstrate a similar severity of involvement of different areas. Eventually, ALS takes away the ability to walk, dress, write, speak, swallow, and breathe. How fast and in what order this occurs is very different from person to person.

MCTS to resume fare collection on June 1 The Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) announced that it will resume fare collection and front door boarding on all buses and on paratransit vehicles providing Transit Plus rides starting at 4:00 a.m. on June 1, 2020.

MCTS is recommending that riders who are medically able wear a face mask or face covering over their nose and mouth while on board.

To help maintain social distancing, MCTS will continue to limit riders to 10 per bus.

Please be respectful to bus drivers and other passengers by remembering the following: • Health officials say wearing masks or other types of face coverings while in public settings helps prevent the spread of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19).

• Riders should enter through the front door,

• The MCTS Administration Building, 1942 N. 17th Street, remains closed to visitors, but accommodations are being made to serve customers remotely.

Fares are needed given the rising costs and lost revenue resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

MCTS is an essential service that has been proven indispensable for people to reach essential jobs and critical destinations since COVID-19 became prevalent in Milwaukee County.

The fiscal impact of COVID-19 on Milwaukee County will be catastrophic.

Overall, Milwaukee County has seen $40 million in costs directly associated with COVID-19, such as providing personal protective

equipment for employees, enhancing cleaning and sanitation practices, and setting up a temporary shelter for individuals experiencing homelessness.

Milwaukee County projects $100 million in lost revenues by the end of 2020. This includes revenue from sales tax, property taxes, and program revenues from the zoo, parks, airport and transit. Meanwhile, the need for County services has increased significantly as a consequence of COVID-19, which has disproportionately impacted Milwaukee County residents and communities of color. Milwaukee County continues to work with our State and Federal partners to secure funding for these essential services, including transit.

COMMUNITY COLUMN M3 honors MPS seniors graduating with early college credit

Tanya McNeal, pictured here in a screenshot from the virtual graduation ceremony, called the M3 early college program a “life-changing” experience. innovators who are going to help Milwaukee for decades to come,” UWM Chancellor Mark Mone told the students.

The MPS seniors put themselves in position to reduce their costs to attend college.

Collectively, the 54 students representing 16 MPS high schools earned 887 college credits. The average cost per credit at most four-year institutions is $337, meaning the total value of the 887 credits earned amounts to nearly $300,000.

But, she added, “To see you come through so strong is a credit to your determination to succeed. … I am certain you possess the flexibility and adaption skills necessary to thrive in any college format. With so much uncertainty, I’m certain you have a bright future.”

The Pathways early college program is just one prong of the multifaceted M3 partnership, which seeks to close equity gaps by working to achieve goals in three areas: connecting learning across middle school, high school and college; successfully transitioning students to college; and driving college completion.

McNeal called the early college program a “life-changing” experience and urged MPS juniors to apply for next year’s class.

“I had the opportunity to take college courses, get college credit and have a college transcript while still being a senior in high school,” McNeal said. “That’s really a blessing.”

Posley told the graduates that the cost savings amounted to an additional academic scholarship.

“This is an amazing accomplishment and one that carries value as you transition to full-time college,” Posley said. “While this accomplishment not only demonstrates your readiness for college, it also represents a monetary benefit.”

The pandemic presented a different kind of test after UWM, MATC and MPS moved their classes online.

The event can be viewed at the MPS YouTube channel.

The early college program, which is also called the M3 Pathways program, provides MPS seniors an opportunity to experience the rigors of college life by attending courses on the MATC and UWM campuses.

The 2019-20 class met in the fall and spring semesters, with students earning up to 20 transferable college credits in core courses including math, English and science, as well as electives including cultures and community and educational psychology.

“M3, as a public education network, is going to lift our city and nurture you as you develop into critical thinkers, strong leaders and the

The latest class of Milwaukee Public Schools high school seniors to complete the M3 early college program was honored with a virtual ceremony, capping a year of growth for the trailblazing partnership involving Milwaukee’s three largest public education institutions.

M3 (pronounced M-Cubed) is a joint initiative among the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Milwaukee Area Technical College and MPS aimed at closing equity gaps and transforming the future of young people through the power of public education.

The partnership celebrated the 2019-20 early college program class of 54 MPS seniors, a 70 percent increase from last year’s inaugural class. The latest class is also the first to take two semesters’ worth of college courses after the program launched in the Spring 2019 semester.

The accomplishments are all the more impressive given how students had to navigate the challenges that arose from the COVID-19 pandemic, including the switch to full-time online instruction at MPS, UWM and

7. Control blood sugar Did you know certain carbohydrates raise blood sugar levels quickly? Carbohydrates are categorized as simple or complex, but the distinctions are not as simple as it seems.

The three common types When we think about our life, we must think about our body. Keeping our mind and body in good health is essential for a long and active life.

We must incorporate exercise into our weekly routine to keep our physical frame strong and reduce our stress.

We must also be mindful of what goes inside our bodies to stave off chronic illness and keep our delicate system in good condition.

Here are 10 tips to get you on the road to a better you: 1. Morning movement Begin each morning with gentle stretching, yoga, Pilates or a brisk walk. Whenever possible, let the sunlight hit your face and skin so it can assist the production of serotonin which is our feel good, happy, calm and content hormone.

2. Prepare your own food Control the quality and quantity of oil, salt and sugar that is used in your meals by preparing your own. It will save you money and allow you to maintain a healthier diet. Instead of processed foods, fill your plate with fresh produce.

Processed foods tend to be high in simple carbohydrate while very low in vitamins, minerals and fiber.

Avoid meats like beef, lamb, pork and poultry with skin. When you eat healthier, you not only reduce your cholesterol, but you reduce your chances of suffering from heart disease, stroke, or atherosclerosis.

4. Reduce risk of heart disease With some lifestyle changes, you can reduce your risk of heart disease and reverse damages from unhealthy habits. Try eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, fiber-rich whole grains, nuts, legumes and seeds. Plus, opt for fish like omega-3-rich salmon over red meats or even try eating some meals without meat and dairy products all-together. You can start out with “Meatless Monday.”

5. Mid-day movement Go for a walk after lunch as a quick pick-me-up instead of going for that second cup of coffee. Studies suggest that regular walking can assist in the prevention of type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis and maintaining a healthy weight.
