Local funeral home owner and businessman Arthur Reid, Jr., passes at age 82 Arthur Reid, Jr., business man, founder and president of Reid’s New Golden Gate Funeral Home and a longtime benefactor of student education in Milwaukee, died Wednesday, May 27, 2020. He was 82 years old. Arthur Reid was born in Jackson, Tennessee. His family relocated to Milwaukee when he was 13 years old. He first became interested in the funeral business due to the fact he was friends with the children of the late Lamar Williamson, founding director of what is now called the Leon L. Williamson Funeral Home. In an interview in 2015 with The Milwaukee Times, Arthur recalled his introduction to the funeral business. “One day in 1956, Mr. Williamson came to me and asked if I
wanted to learn the funeral business or if I wanted to keep fooling around like the other kids outside,” he said. “I never looked back.” Myra Holland, co-founder of Fred’s Ornamental Security Doors, lived in the same duplex as Arthur for the first year after her family moved to Milwaukee. “He was very ambitious and well organized,” she said. “Even when he was a young man, he had a plan to own his own funeral home. He accomplished his goal.” Before opening his own funeral home, Arthur Reid worked in a factory and at several other jobs, saving money and learning the business. In 1981, he co-founded Reid and Yandell Funeral Home, which eventually became the first Golden Gate

In 2012 Reid's New Golden Gate Funeral Home opened up its second location at 1910 Taylor Avenue in Racine, Wisconsin. A third location was later established at 2535 North Teutonia Avenue in Milwaukee. Being successful in business was never enough for Reid, however.

The death of George Floyd sparks protests in Milwaukee and across the world
Photos by Kim A. Robinson
Hundreds rallied Friday, May 29, 2020 and through the weekend in Milwaukee to denounce the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis and other acts of police misconduct across the country before marching to I-43 and shutting down part of the freeway. The protest began with a moment of silence to honor Floyd, who died Monday, May 25, 2020, after a Minneapolis police officer kneeled on his neck for more than eight minutes as he was gasping for air and pleading that he couldn't breathe. "We're here in solidarity," said Vaun Mayes, a community activist who organized the event outside the Wisconsin Black Historical Society. The four officers involved in Floyd's death have been fired, but not all have been arrested or charged, and the ensuing protests in Minneapolis have led to several nights of violent unrest. As demonstrators rallied and An NCON Communications Publication
marched Friday afternoon in Milwaukee, authorities in Minnesota announced the officer who put his knee on Floyd's neck had been arrested and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter. Floyd's death has been condemned by national and local politicians, law enforcement leaders and everyday Americans of all races; and for many black Americans it was another painful example of the injustice and discrimination they encounter daily. Fred Royal, president of the NAACP Milwaukee Branch, called on those gathered to keep working for justice after the rally. “This is to honor those who died at the hands of police brutality," Royal said, adding: "The question is what are you going to do when the cameras are gone and the excitement dies down?” Then, holding handmade signs reading "I can't breathe" and "Black lives matter," hundreds of people (Continued on pg. 7)
them.” Since 2011, Arthur and his wife, Mary, partnered with WISN-TV Channel 12 and The Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper to donate laptop computers to the Milwaukee area high school graduates tapped by the newspaper as Louvenia Johnson Scholarship recipients during the annual Black Excellence Awards. The couple also sponsored field trips and donated to various youth causes through their church, St. Matthew Christian Methodist Episcopal Church. Arthur Reid, Jr., is survived by Mary and two daughters: Sheila Reid Johnson and Phyllis Reid. Funeral arrangements are still pending at this time.
1967 Clifford McKissick murder shows how little things have changed By William Scott Gooden By the end of the day on Tuesday, May 26, 2020, many people in this city and all over the country knew the name of George Floyd. The 44-yearold was arrested by police outside a shop in Minneapolis, Minnesota. One of the officers, Derek Chauvin, leaned on his neck for nine minutes, later resulting in Floyd’s death. But do you know or remember the killing of Clifford McKissick in 1967? Sparked by brawls with police, a racist threat and gunfire, a riot broke out on Milwaukee's north side on July 30, 1967. The National Guard was brought in to quell the violence that continued over four days with burning, looting and sniper fire. By the time it was over, 100 people had been hurt, more than 1,700 had been arrested and four people, including Police Officer Brian Moschea, were dead. On the third day, an 18-year-old African American college student, Clifford McKissick, was shot in the neck as he was running into his house. He died on the floor of his family’s home. Police officers involved in the incident said they saw McKissick and other young people lighting gasoline-filled bottles and throwing them into a paint store. The officers said the teen ignored their order to halt. McKissick was a graduate of Rufus King High School, sophomore at the Wisconsin State College–Whitewater (now the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater), and worked a summer job as a counselor for the Milwaukee Boys' Club. His death was
one of the greatest tragedies of the disturbance. The police claimed that McKissick and three other youths had tried to set fire to a building with Molotov cocktails, and that it was while fleeing from the scene that police shot McKissick. McKissick’s family and several neighbors claimed, however, that he had been sitting on the front porch when all of a sudden everyone heard gunshots. Everyone, including McKissick, ran. But his family said there was no imminent danger to anyone since Mc Kissick was running into the house. His death was followed by protests. About 500 people attended his funeral, at which local civil rights activist Father James Groppi spoke. McKissick's family filed a lawsuit alleging the officer who shot him used excessive force.

'67 McKissick murder
On October 30, 1975, eleven years after Clifford McKissick’s death, the law firm of Eisenberg & Kletzke S.C., who had earlier represented the family in the original lawsuit, argued on appeal before the Wisconsin Supreme Court. One of the lawyers who had spoken during the hearing was Michael F. Hupy, who would later go on to be a senior partner of Hupy and Abraham, S.C. Mr. Hupy, who had only graduated from law school about 4 years prior, found the facts in the case shocking and appalling; Hupy stated, “Clifford McKissick was an 18 year old young man needlessly killed by the police in his own house. When Clifford's mother went to her door to
call for help from the police officers, they shot at her. "The police then went into the house, refused to aid her in calling for help for her son, made her march into the kitchen with her hands up and questioned her at length in the presence of her dying son.” Despite some of these facts, the state high court sent the case back to the lower court, where it was eventually dismissed in 1981. Flash forward to 2020 and the George Floyd and McKissick cases have very unsettling similarities. Both men were unarmed; both were confronted by three or more police officers; both clearly involved the use of excessive force; and that use
who have witnessed the killings or have information on them rarely break their silence." One of the things that has changed in the last few years is that bystanders are no longer just watching these events unfold; they are pulling out their cameras on their phones and filming the event in progress. Thanks to this we now have a clearer picture of these incidents and the intent and attitude of the individuals involved. It is because of this evidence that many are calling for change in police force policies across the country. In essence, 8 minutes of cellphone footage can speak volume and trigger change. No pun intended…

Essentially, the defense stated that since McKissick did not cooperate with the officers’ orders, McKissick was responsible for his own death. The court would rule in the officer's favor. However, that was not the final word on the incident.

of excessive force resulted in both men’s deaths. When asked about the similarities of the cases, Hupy stated, “The clearest similarity is the ‘shoot first, ask questions later’ attitude of the police officers involved, and their blatant racism in regards to handling the victims.” When asked why so little has changed with respect to these killings, Hupy said, "The public wants to believe and trust the police officers as they are supposed to protect us. And since most of these cases have very little evidence other than the word of the officers involved (as the victim is often dead and unable to speak for themselves) we tend to believe them.

Our Community Voices Now is the time for racial justice By: Ellen M. Gilligan President and CEO, Greater Milwaukee Foundation There are two public health crises in America right now. One is quite recent. One has been afflicting us for generations. Racism is our nation’s oldest sin and most vile disease, and I am grief-stricken that we are again mourning more black lives lost and more communities capsized, all the while lamenting that nothing has changed since the last atrocity. Well, we must change, and we must start now. Our communities of color are vibrant, unique and essential, yet we accept that in Milwaukee, an African American can expect to live 14 fewer years than a person who is white. There are no excuses, and there can be no more delays. We need to eradicate the systemic racism that withholds wellness and power from people of color and keeps our entire region from truly thriving. We cannot continue to tolerate the apathy or intent that causes the lives of black and brown fathers, brothers, mothers, sisters, children to be disregarded, devalued and discarded. This cycle of pain endlessly affects people
in our community, and the recurring injustice – whether in our back yard or 1,000 miles away – causes damage in equal amounts to the heart and health of all who live with the reality that the next time history repeats, they or their loved ones could be in harm’s way. Individual acts of violence and prejudice inflame these wounds, but the roots are embedded in how we have shaped society in a manner that benefits people differently, and for the most part, those differences are favorable if you’re white and detrimental if you’re not. That cardinal disparity of embedded racism, and the systems that support it, are what leaders across our community – especially white leaders – must work together to dismantle. The policies, practices and social norms that drive life experiences to diverge by race are obvious to those affected but often remain invisible to those with privilege: Housing covenants and real estate practices that have prevented nonwhite residents from living in communities of their choice and securing mortgages and homes that would have changed their family’s trajectory for prosperity. The uneven application of
Ellen M. Gilligan laws resulting in incarceration rates for black men that have reached epidemic levels. School and social structures built to be navigated by English language speakers, leading to disparate access to learning and resources for those whose fluencies do not include English. And now, COVID-19, which, through the disproportionate rates of infection and loss of life in black and Latino communities, has proven just how deep our health inequities run. These and many other systems of bias predate us all, but many in power have tended to them through the years while others have per-
petuated them through inaction. For how long have our friends and neighbors of color cried for justice, only for their calls to be met with silence and indifference by those who should be their allies? The reactions to injustice we see now are the result of accumulated oppression and the denial of hope that the disparities, the persecution, the dehumanizing treatment will ever end. But end they must – if not yesterday, then today. First, we must be willing to honestly see the suffering in our neighborhoods, our communities and our country. We must exit the comfort of our individual existence and hold tight to the humanity that allows us to recognize the innate worth all people possess. We must celebrate diversity, including the rich contributions that communities of color have made and continue to make to our collective way of life. Most importantly, we must hold ourselves and each other accountable for permanently changing both our narrative and reality. The Greater Milwaukee Foundation made a genera-
tional commitment to racial equity and inclusion in 2016, and the work we have accomplished side-by-side with community means something, but it is not enough. Our pace must be faster, our resolve must be sharper, our urgency must be greater as we seek justice. A much greater burden must be carried by white leaders and white institutions, and I pledge to do all I can to advance a new era that ends racist structures. As your community foundation, we love Milwaukee and have spent the last 105 years dedicated to its brightest future. I know you love Milwaukee too. Our community has come together before to develop bold solutions to big problems. We have the knowledge. We have the ability. Together, we have everything we need to transform Milwaukee. I want you to hear and know that you matter. Your family matters. Your community matters. Now is the time to rid ourselves of the virus of racism so everyone in our community can experience the joy, health, safety and fulfillment in life that they deserve. Now is the time for everyone to thrive.
How long, O Lord, how long? The words of King David that appear in Psalm 13 of the Old Testament echo in the hearts of American people of color today: “How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?”

ALS Awareness Month - #ALSAwareness (conclusion) ALS (or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) Awareness Month is observed in the United States during the month of May. In Canada, June has been declared as ALS Awareness Month by the Canadian Minister of Health. It has been my resolve for nearly 20 years, to bring awareness to various topics through this column. This month, the focus has been on ALS (also known as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease”). If presenting awareness days in this column gets people’s attention, involved in advocacy, or talking about the issue, even if it includes social media activism; then the attention given is achieving the purpose for which it is intended. It is my prayer that you just don’t read these ‘raising awareness’ articles; but that you will go a step further and do something about what you have been made aware of. In other words, don’t just post a status in support of the awareness, but choose a cause and act to address it!

Ella Jones is elected first Black mayor of Ferguson, MO Jones is also the first woman to lead the Missouri city, which erupted in protests in 2014 after a white police officer shot and killed Michael Brown, a black teenager. Ella Jones became the first African American and first woman elected mayor in Ferguson, MO, on Tuesday, June 3, 2020, nearly six years after the city erupted in protests when a white police officer shot and killed a black teenager Michael Brown, propelling Ferguson into the national spotlight and galvanizing the "Black Lives Matter" movement. The victory for. Jones, a Ferguson City Council member, came as another night of protests unfolded throughout the country over the killing of George Floyd and persistent police brutality against black Americans.
had both vowed to continue changes enacted after the 2014 shooting of Brown, including a federal consent decree, a legally binding agreement requiring reforms to a police department. Both had made clear that they supported peaceful protests after the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, while condemning the violence that has broken out in several cities.
“I’ve got work to do — because when you’re an African American woman, they require more of you than they require of my counterpart,” Jones said after her victory, in Jones, 65, and her oppo- a video posted online Tuesnent, Heather Robinett, 49, day night by journalist Jason

and we’re going to work together to get it done.” Jones, who prevailed with 54 percent of the vote, will succeed James Knowles III, who has been the mayor since 2011 and could not run for re-election because of term limits. Jones lost to Knowles in the 2017 mayoral election. A resident of Ferguson for more than 40 years, Jones is also a pastor in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Protests convulsed Ferguson for weeks in 2014, after the white officer, Darren Wilson, shot and killed Brown, 18. A grand jury and the Department of Justice declined to prosecute Wilson, who eventually resigned.
After losing her 2017 bid for mayor, Jones said that many black residents told her that they did not believe electing her would change their own fortunes and questioned whether she had accomplished anything in her two years on the City Council.
In 2015, Jones became the first black woman elected to the City Council, and though she was critical of the city’s law enforcement system, she did not have enthusiastic backing from protesters at the time.
Ferguson is one of the smallest cities in the country with a federal consent decree, which includes scores of new policies to reform the police department.
“If you’ve been oppressed so long, it’s hard for you to break out to a new idea,” Jones said at the time. “And when you’ve been governed by fear and people telling you that the city is going to decline because an African American person is going to be in charge, then you tend to listen to the rhetoric and don’t open your mind to new possibilities.”

Con-drag-ulations Milwaukee: Presenting our new Queen, Jaida Essence Hall
"America's next drag superstar" is Milwaukee's own Jaida Essence Hall. Hall, a leading player in the local drag scene for nearly a decade, won season 12 of VH1's hit reality competition Friday, May 29, 2020. "I know how it is to grind so hard and so many times be told no," Hall told RuPaul on Friday's finale. "(Winning) will give me validation that once you know what your craft is and you know what you're doing, that you're at the right place at the right time for the right reasons." And winning the show is exactly what Hall did Friday, after she faced off against finalists Crystal Methyd and
Gigi Goode for three virtual lip-sync battles, all filmed from their respective homes due to the coronavirus pandemic. "She is performing like she's in Madison Square Garden and the place was packed," said judge Ross Matthews of Hall's fierce, hair-flipping, high-kicking performance of Ciara's "Get Up" from her living room. Evidently RuPaul agreed, giving Hall the crown Friday following a triumphant season that included three competition wins and ending up in the bottom two only once, and praise from
Jaida Essence Hall
guest judges like Chaka Khan, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jeff Goldblum. Portrayed by Jared Johnson, 32, who grew up on Milwaukee's north side, Hall emerged in Milwaukee's drag scene nine years ago, becoming a regular performer at Hamburger Mary's. Hall, who currently lives in West Allis, has performed at a Milwaukee Bucks halftime show, won pageants in Madison and Minneapolis, and taken the stage multiple times at PrideFest in Milwaukee. "I've gained a really good support group in my own city," Hall told the Journal Sentinel in February. "I'm glad that I'm from my city, and I'm so happy when I walk through different parts of my city that I came from here and I made something for myself." Talking to RuPaul on Friday's finale, Hall shared some more insight into that Milwaukee upbringing. "Growing up‌in one of the worst neighborhoods in the city it was one of those things where you had to fight for everything that you wanted no matter what it was," Hall said on Friday's finale. "Coming up from a place
that was so hard to grow up in and so rough, it made me a better competitor in so many aspects of my life." Hall was also brought to tears by video messages from her father and brother on Friday's finale, and talked about how important her late grandmother was in her life. "I would want to tell my grandmother, 'Thank you so much for being the first person to accept me for who I was even though I didn't even know who I was then," Hall told RuPaul Friday. "She was this super glamorous woman all the time. ... Every time I get to step on the stage in drag I get to live this glamorous fantasy. I get to live all the opportunities I don’t get to share with my grandmother now." As the winner of "RuPaul's Drag Race" Friday, Hall won a year supply of Anastasia Beverly Hills Cosmetics and a $100,000 cash prize. And Friday she became the second Milwaukee drag scene star to win "RuPaul's Drag Race." Wisconsin native Trixie Mattel, who competed on season seven of the show, won "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars" in 2018.
