'The Wire' and 'Lovecraft Country' actor Michael K. Williams found dead in NYC apartment Michael K. Williams, an actor best known for his role as Omar Little on HBO's "The Wire," has died. He was 54.

Williams was found dead in his New York City apartment Monday, September 6, 2021, a law enforcement official told CNN. "It is with deep sorrow that the family announces the passing of Emmy nominated actor Michael Kenneth Williams. They ask for your privacy while grieving this unsurmountable loss," his long-time rep Marianna Shafran of Shafran PR told The Hollywood Reporter.

CNN has contacted representatives of Williams for comment.

In a 2017 interview with the New York Times, Williams spoke openly about his struggles with substance abuse.

"Addiction doesn't go away," he said at the time.

"It's an everyday struggle for me, but I'm fighting."

Williams, a Brooklyn native, most recently appeared in HBO's "Lovecraft Country" and the series "F Is for Family."

He became an almost iconic figure for many thanks to his role in "The Wire" as Omar Little, a shotgun-wielding character who made his living robbing drug dealers. He followed that up as a mobster in the HBO Prohibition-era mob drama "Boardwalk Em-

pire," and most recently earned an Emmy nomination for another series on the pay network, the macabre "Lovecraft Country."

Williams was next slated to co-star in Sony's George Foreman biopic from George Tillman, Jr., who was set to direct.

Williams amassed a number of accolades during his storied career, including five Emmy nominations. His first

was in 2015 for his role in "Bessie" and another followed two years later for his part in "The Night Of." He was also the winner of a SAG Award for best ensemble with the cast of "Boardwalk Empire."

On social media, Williams' many colleagues and friends recalled the depth, complexity and humanity he brought to his characters on screen and, above all, the man he was off screen.

"Michael K Williams was a beautiful, passionate, expansive soul. I felt so lucky to have known him, and we were all so fortunate to have enjoyed his incredible talent," Aisha Tyler wrote on Twitter.

"He burned so very bright."

Director James Gunn added: "Michael K Williams, in addition to being one of the most talented actors around, was also one of the kindest, sweetest, most gentle souls I've ever met. This is heartbreaking. My thoughts are

with all those who loved him."

Musician Saul Williams wrote: "For years Wikipedia listed Michael K. Williams as my brother. Neither one of us chose to correct it, instead we took it at its word. 'We're brothers, yo.' He shared poems with me. We broke bread & kicked it whenever we could. A deep & sincere connection. A beautiful spirit."

His "Wire" co-star Wendell Pierce also joined the chorus of remembrances with a touching tribute.

"The depth of my love for this brother, can only be matched by the depth of my pain learning of his loss," he wrote. "A immensely talented man with the ability to give voice to the human condition portraying the lives of those whose humanity is seldom elevated until he sings their truth."

Walnut Street Social Gathering Club hosts annual picnic The Walnut Street Social Gathering Club hosted their Annual 2021 Picnic on Saturday, August 21, 2021.

The club has been together for more than 30 years. They started at Latham Park; as the group grew to more than two hundred members they moved to another location. Past presidents include Gerald Payne, Norris Jackson, Larry Kilgore, Thurman Hawkins, Vivian Beckley (14 years), Alan Walker and Annie Ray Alexander (current president).

Being Frank

By: Frank James Special to the Milwaukee Times

Can you define Black?

In 2021 I pose a question to the world, “What defines being Black in 2021?”

Over the years the definition of what being Black in the USA has evolved or deevolved. Being Black was at one time an act of defiance towards a racist system of oppression.

Interactions and dealings with other races has also been used to define what was considered Black.

“What does being Black in the USA look like today?” this, well maybe they weren’t Black. In 2021 things are With groups like the Black much more convoluted.

Panthers voicing their opinions and calling police, In 2021 there are many "pigs," defining Black in the people talking loud as they 1960’s was easy. Or should say, and saying nothing. This I say one definition of Black leads me to the question, “Is was easily defined. If you go everyone who talks about back and watch clips of the racism being Black?” It is speeches by various activists no secret that there are govfrom that era you get an idea ernment grants and TV time of how to be Black. Malcolm for activists who speak out X’s famous speech, Message on social issues. I’ve always To The Grassroots, is a classic wondered how someone example of this. Black was who receives money from a defined by the struggle to government, that they claim overthrow the oppression is racist, is being Black. I reof a racist society. If a Black call Malcolm X saying that he person did not understand would have to know who was

es being Black? Is it possible that a person who has family members of another race can truly act or be considered Black? Before you answer that think of this, “Is the way Black people deal with and treat other Black people in the USA being Black?”

funding a group before he could validate the organization. If a pro-Black group is receiving government money are they being Black?

The way Black people interact with other races has become interesting in 2021.

When Jim Crow was the official law of the land Blacks interacted mostly with Blacks.

Dealings with white people

by Blacks at that time were limited and usually business.

Is a Black person whose friends are mostly white being Black? For that matter is the Black person who falls in lust with whites or other rac-

Printing & Publishing, Co.

In the 1960’s and 70’s dashikis were a popular fashion statement and tied to being Black. In 2021 many Black people in the USA dress with the new style aptly named, "I just rolled out of bed." With that in mind have slides with socks, tights, and skinny jeans become the symbol of Black like the dashiki was? The afro was the hairstyle that represented being Black. Can someone be Black with Brazilian or Peruvian hair sewed into their hair? Can a man who wears their pants sagging to showcase the curve of their behind consider their actions Black? Are all of the above the 2021 version of what defines being Black?

Usually I offer a suggestion to generate thought at the end of an article. As I typed this piece I found myself thinking, “Is there such a thing as a definition of Black?” Who is to say that the person getting that 500K grant for spouting nonsense is not being Black? Who is to say that person wearing the Brazilian hair isn’t being Black? Who is to say that guy wearing slides with dingy socks and pants exposing his rear isn’t being Black? All I will say is this, “Embrace whatever concept you have that is Black to you.”

Honoring Grandparents – It’s Great To be Grand! (Week 1) National Grandparents Day September 12, 2021 September is the month that being a grandparent is celebrated. National Grandparents Day came about back in 1970. Marian McQuade, a West Virginia housewife, came up with the idea of a day set aside to encourage families to visit their elderly relatives. With a firm resolve to make it happen, she began lobbying policymakers. McQuade got through to her Senators, Jennings Randolph and Robert Byrd, who introduced a resolution to make Grandparents Day a national holiday. It took a while to reach the White House, but finally, in 1978, the resolution declaring National Grandparents Day as the first Sunday after Labor Day, was signed into law by President Jimmy Carter. The first national observance of Grandparents Day occurred September 6, 1979. In his proclamation, President Carter said of grandparents: “Because they are usually free to love and guide and befriend the young…they can often reach out past pride and fear of failure and close the space between generations.”

tinues brings me incredible joy and lots of laughter. This writer had no idea that being a grandparent would be so emotionally potent. Initially this writer feared being a long-distance Nana would be difficult. While I can’t always be there with him, nor babysit on an ad hoc basis, when I do see him in person, I make the most of our time together and we have truly bonded as I shower him with my Nana love. I couldn’t imagine life without him. Of course, there’s no substitute for in person interaction; for those times I cannot be there in-person, there’s technology.

Thank God for social media chat platforms!

Growing number of COVID-19 cases in children as Milwaukee heads back to school As students head back to class in Milwaukee, there is growing concern among health experts as COVID-19 case numbers rise in children.

More than 30,000 kids on the early start calendar at Milwaukee Public Schools are already in their second week back in class. In two days, that number will more than double as the regular school year kicks off. Health leaders say they are concerned about the highly transmissible delta variant.

Teachers stand in front of their students at Mac"Back to school is going to be a challenge. This is not going to be the same school year that we had last year. The delta variant is extremely different than the virus we were dealing with a year ago,” said​ Dr. Ben Weston, chief health policy adviser for Milwaukee County.

Dowell Montessori School in masks and one in a plastic shield to be safe during COVID-19.

COVID-19 cases have remained flat in Milwaukee County for the past few weeks, hovering around 268 new cases a day. But what is on the rise are cases in children between the ages of 12

to 17.

groups. Grade school, middle school and high school seem to be some of the highest positivity rates in the county,” said Weston​.

As of 4 p.m. on Aug. 31, MPS reported 18 new COVID-19 cases within the district. It brings the total number of confirmed cases to 236. A majority of those cases, 81, are in high school students. Although MPS data doesn’t list how many of those students are vaccinated, health experts say as a whole, eligible kids are getting the shot at a lower rate than adults.

cinated. The next age group, if we look at the 16-17 yearold age group, that age group is vaccinated at about 41 percent. So about 4 out of 10 of the 16-17 year olds in Milwaukee County have been completely vaccinated,” said​ Darren Rausch, director of the Greenfield Health Department.

MPS does require masks for staff and students, and students have Plexiglas between their desks. Health experts say even with precautions, it is likely cases will increase at schools across the state, not just in Milwaukee.

"As I look at the numbers, the 12-15 year old age group is completed vaccinated at a rate of about 32 percent. So just under one-third of our 12-15 years-old are fully vac-

"We know a large number of schools are opening tomorrow, on Wednesday, Sept 1, so we will start to expect additional cases of COVID-19 in kids, with more mixing and mingling of kids in school settings,” said Rausch​.

HEALTH & RESOURCE FAIR

Weston and Rausch say the best way parents can protect their children is to get them vaccinated. If a student is not yet eligible for the vaccine, they say wearing a mask and washing your hands is your next best defense.

"​ When we look across the county at our positively rates, they are highest in three of our age groups. We break them down by school age

Lynden Sculpture Garden presents Daniel Minter: Rootwork

The Lynden Sculpture Garden welcomed Daniel Minter for his second Call & Response residency with an artist reception on Saturday, July 24, from 4 to 6 p.m. His exhibition, Rootwork, will be on view in the gallery. Earlier in the day, from 10 am-1 pm, Minter offered a public carving workshop as part of his residency project. The exhibition remains on view through September 26, 2021.

The Lynden Sculpture Garden is located at 2145 West Brown Deer Road, Milwaukee, WI 53217. Gallery hours are daily 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.; closed Thursdays. Masks are required in the house.

More information on the exhibition: https://www. lyndensculpturegarden.org/ exhibitions/daniel-minterroot-work A virtual exhibition will be posted shortly.

to engage the communities we serve in “a natural act of transformation restructured for curing many ills.” Minter’s original idea—to bring his wood-carving skills to bear on the deadly impact of emerald ash borer on our trees—was complicated by the pandemic. Drawing on traditions of the African Diaspora, and invoking axé, the “spiritual force that resides in all living things,” Minter envisions an ash trunk adorned with necklaces of large, hand-carved wooden beads created in collaboration with community members, including those already engaged in our Call & Response and HOME refugee programming. During his first two residencies, Minter has been working with mem-

bers of the HOME Steering Committee, Lynden’s Innovative Educators Institute, our campers (including those in our collaborative camp with Walker’s Point Center for the Arts), and the public to create personal symbols and to teach participants different aspects of the carving process, from making rubber stamps, to woodcuts, to relief work and, finally, beads.

Minter will train artists and educators to share these skills over the winter in workshops, field trips, school programs, and classes. Minter returns in 2022 for workshops, to share in programming by other Call & Response artists, and to complete and dedicate the sculpture. We will organize a symposium around the project in late 2022.

Rootwork serves as an introduction to the artist’s work.

It is the third iteration of “a distant holla,” an assemblage and collaging of Minter’s carvings, paintings, objects, and material created over a span of time but related by an ongoing personal narrative. The artist wants people to see the connections, not just between different works but between the themes and issues embedded in them.

He accomplishes this by taking a collage-like approach to presenting his work—creating a narrative through his placement of objects--and through his intentional and iterative use of a compelling visual language made up of “water and wind; fish and boats; musical instruments; brooms, axes and other implements of labor; bottles and bowls; Black people’s faces, bodies and hair; traditional foods like okra, blackeyed peas and greens; turtles; birds; and various representations of Spirit, the continuity of the lifeforce, and the power of healing in the world” (Rachel Elizabeth Harding, “Quantum Exchange: The Diasporic Art of Daniel Minter,” 2019). “I am working toward a practice where every piece that I make can have an intimate connection to whatever is connected to it,” Minter observes. “The notion that all things are connected is important to me.”

Harding, who has written extensively about Minter’s work, describes it as “an artwork reuniting Black people with their totems – the mythic resources and cultural sinew embedded in our historical experience” and as “a navigation system.” According to Harding, Minter describes his art as “a technology; a mode of creativity that uses African diasporic sensibilities to enable an alternative understanding about the world; a way to recognize and access ancestral resources for individual and collective struggle.”

Harding sees Minter’s work as both a strategy and a pedagogy, “instructing viewers in the essential elements of its language and suggesting ways to engage its multiple meanings.”

"Black Health Matters" by Richard W. Walker, Jr., MD

Is it anything to worry about? Your grandfather had heart problems and died after a stroke. Your grandmother suffered from diabetes and you know there's got to be a way to avoid their fates. Does your headache have anything

especially if you could stand to lose a few pounds, understand obesity, why it matters, and how you became overweight. Did you know culture has something to do with it? Yes, and though he only briefly touches on "food deserts," Walker addresses these issues.

Walker says that Black adults are forty percent more apt to have high blood pressure than their white neighbors. Hypertension is a killer; knowing more about it – how to read a BP monitor, how smoking and salt intake figure in – will help you keep it under control.

Know the general symptoms of diabetes and what to do about them. Learn how kidney disease may start with another disease altogether.

Read up on cancer, aging, sickle cell disease, and how dental care really matters. Finally, memorize the signs of a stroke or heart attack; your life may depend upon it.

to do with that? Do you need "Black Health Matters" by Richard W. Walker, Jr., MD to calm your fears?

While growing up in Spanish Harlem years ago, Walker noticed how much diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and kidney failure affected the people in his neighborhood. It made hiim "angry," he says, and it spurred him to study medicine as a profession.

It still dismays him that "poor health among our Black population" is almost epidemic but there is a solution. Walker says that if you take an "approach to wellness" and take steps to remain healthier, you could lower your chances of developing the more-common but most-serious diseases that plague a higher number of African American people.

First of all, he says, be aware of your "gut-microbiome-brain" connection and know what foods are best for you. Know what not to eat, too, and how probiotics can help your "GMB." Then,

UR HISTORY

AN EXPLORATION OF OUR LIVES AND LEGACIES

Remembering the 58th anniversary of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing Say their names: Addie Mae Collins, 14 Denise McNair, 11 Carole Robertson, 14 Cynthia Wesley, 14 On September 15, 1963, a bomb exploded during Sunday morning services in the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, AL, killing four young girls.

With its large African American congregation, the 16th Street Baptist Church served as a meeting place for civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr., who once called Birmingham a “symbol of hardcore resistance to integration.” Alabama’s then-governor, George Wallace, made preserving racial segregation one of the central goals of his administration, and Birmingham had one of the most violent and lawless chapters of the Ku Klux Klan.

The church bombing was the third in Birmingham in 11 days after a federal order came down to integrate Alabama’s school system.

Fifteen sticks of dynamite were planted in the church basement, underneath what turned out to be the girls’ restroom. The bomb detonated at 10:19 a.m., killing Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson and Addie Mae Collins–all 14 years old–and 11-year-old Denise McNair.

Immediately after the blast, church members wandered dazed and bloodied, covered with white powder and bro-

More than 20 other members of the congregation were injured in the blast.

When thousands of angry black protesters assembled at the crime scene, Wallace sent hundreds of police and state troopers to the area to break up the crowd. Two young black men were killed that night, one by police and another by racist thugs. Meanwhile, public outrage over the bombing continued to grow, drawing international attention to Birmingham.

At a funeral for three of the girls (one’s family preferred a separate, private service), King addressed more than 8,000 mourners.

"Black Health Matters" (Continued from pg. 12) And yet, there's one important thing to remember, once you get this book: it shouldn't take the place of a physician with your medical chart inhand. That's a reminder that author Richard W. Walker, Jr., MD offers, but caution and prudence don't seem to be stressed here quite enough.

Then again, readers will want to bear in mind that this book is about proactive and preventative wellness, not fixing what's already broken.

Richard W. Walker, Jr., MD here, it's do-able, and it could make "Black Health Matters" an patient-empowering tool for understanding major health-issues, recognizing them, and keeping ahead.
