As part of SHARP Literacy's Summer Learning/Art on the Move program, the organization partnered with several Milwaukee-area schools and community learning centers to create a large-scale mural , "Our True Colors," which was unveiled in Milwaukee's historic Bronzeville on Wednesday, September 30, 2020. Community artist Vedale Hill (left photo, right) led the remote-learning, STEAM-based art project, which involved the participation of approximately 50 elementary school students from NeuLife Gwen T. Jackson, NeuLife Brown Street Academy, Neighborhood House, and Messmer Saint Mary. Students used math, ratios and data science to paint mural pieces representing themselves. By creating characters painted with their skin tone and favorite color, students embraced what makes each of them unique. Within the completed 8’ x 16’ piece, students see not only what makes them special as individuals, but what makes their neighborhood and the city of Milwaukee a diverse community. The mural will inspire students to think about who they are as opposed to what they are. Pictured are some of the students who took part in the project along with artist Vedale Hill; and SHARP Literacy President and CEO Lynda Kohler (inset). www.milwaukeetimesnews.com

California Governor nominates first openly Gay Black man to state Supreme Court

“I am not here in spite of the struggle; I’m here because of the struggle,” Justice Martin Jenkins said California Gov. Gavin Newsom nominated an openly gay man to the state’s Supreme Court for the first time in California history on Monday, October 5, 2020.

gay man has been the greatest challenge of my life,” he said.

“It has not been easy,” he continued. “But I want to say today to those young people who may be watching ... that I am not here in spite of the struggle; I’m here because of the struggle.”

Justice Martin Jenkins, a former prosecutor and judge, accepted the nomination at a press conference with Newsom. If the state’s Commission on Judicial Appointments confirms Jenkins, as it is expected to do, he will be the first Black man to serve on the court in 29 years and the first openly LGBTQ person ever to join the team of Being his “aujustices. thentic self,” Jenkins concluded, is Jenkins, 66, delivered deep- what helped him ly personal remarks Monday make it to this point in his about the influence his sexu- career. al orientation has had on his career. “Anyone who knows “I want these young peome knows my identity as a ple to know that living a life

On Black inventors PolitiFact needs to double check its facts

In the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, “PolitiFact Wisconsin” 9/9/2020, Eric Litke commented on a statement made by Joe Biden that an African American had invented the light bulb. Litke rated Biden’s statement as mostly false while acknowledging that Lewis Latimer, an African American scientist, had made significant contributions to the development of the light bulb, while giving major credit to Thomas Edison.

Biden’s point, that contributions of African Americans to science and technology have been largely ignored, is grounded in fact. I have made presentations in classrooms about African American inventors and when I’ve asked students if they knew who invented the electric light, they have usually said Thomas Edison. Only once was Latimer’s name mentioned, even though Latimer invented and patented important components of the light bulb; played a significant role on the Edison team at a time when few African Americans had the opportunity to study electricity; and wrote a book on incandescent electric lighting in 1890, which became a highly regarded guide for lighting engineers.

Granville T. Woods was one of Edison’s main rivals and never have I heard a student or teacher mention his name. Woods was a prolific African American inventor who had dozens of patents related to electrical systems, new energy, and communication systems. Woods sold

many of his patents to General Electric, Westinghouse and Bell Telephone and he won two patent battles in court against Thomas Edison, who tried to claim credit for one of his inventions.

When Edison could not beat Woods in court, he invited Woods to join his company, but Woods turned him down and started his own electrical and engineering company, with his brother as an assistant. According to Jeff Suess of the Cincinnati Enquirer, the American Catholic Tribune called Woods “ the greatest electrician in the world and praised him above his contemporaries, Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell”.

Even though times were difficult for African Americans and obtaining a good education was a challenge, many brilliant Black scientists refused to be limited by racism and segregation. They

persevered and made major contributions to the world through their persistence and ingenuity. Like Woods, many African American inventors had to sell their patents to survive and did not have the opportunity to realize the profits they may have generated. Credit for many inventions created by slaves was given to their owners because slaves were not legally allowed to own patents or profit from them. According to Shontavia Johnson, Smithsonianmag.com, Black inventors were major contributors during the 17th and 18th centuries. One example is a slave named Ned who invented an effective cotton scraper. His owner, Oscar Stewart, made considerable money off this invention and in this case, did give credit to his slave as the inventor. Another was Benjamin Montgomery who invented a steamboat propeller for use in shallow water. His

owners tried to take credit for it but were not able to obtain a patent. Montgomery eventually was able to make money with his invention without patent protection. Most other enslaved inventors were not as fortunate.

On April 26, 2006, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel published an extensive article called, “Energy in Our World Today.” Of course, Thomas Edison was featured, along with George Westinghouse, Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, and others. I remember feeling disappointed that no mention was made of the many African American scientists and inventors who also contributed to this important field, such as Elijah McCoy, who received a patent in 1872 for the first lubricating cup that regulated the flow of oil on moving machines; David Crosthwait, for his patents related to heating and ventilating systems;

Frederick M. Jones, who invented the first refrigeration system for moving vehicles; or J. Ernest Wilkins, Jr., who used his talents in the research and development of nuclear power. Other little known African American scientists include George R. Carruthers, astrophysicist, who developed space telescopes for the Apollo 16 mission; and Christine M. Darden, who first worked at NASA as a mathematician, earned a Ph.D. in engineering and worked as an aerospace engineer designing airplane wings. She later worked on the design of supersonic airplanes that can fly faster than the speed of sound but without producing the loud sonic booms. (Sources: Black Contributors to Science and Energy Technology, Courtesy of Wisconsin Electric Power Company and Black Achievers in Science, Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago.)

The vast majority of African American inventors and scientists are largely unknown to most people.

Mr. Litke’s statement, “We should note, all of the inventors referenced here (Encyclopedia Britannica) were white.

So, who is Biden referring to?” proves the point that Joe Biden was trying to make. It is time to include the history, inventions and contributions of African American men and women, as well as those of other people of color in our books, courses, and curricula to reflect the true story of America.

By Rev. Judith T. Lester, B.Min. M.Th

Put On A Smiley Face ☺ (Week 1) In February, I was asked to appear in a commercial spot as a marketing promo for the Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper on CW18/My24 Milwaukee. Upon arriving at the studio, I received a text from a friend reminding me to be sure to “smile” during the taping. I received advice from several friends as the commercial taping day neared, but this friend’s advice to “smile” stuck with me and I decided to use it as the inspiration for this month’s articles in celebration of World Smile Day observed the first Friday in October.

Through the years, Ball became concerned that his image was becoming too commercialized. In doing so, the original intent of the smiley face was getting lost. However, the design was never copyrighted. To bring back the original meaning of his smiley face, Ball declared the first Friday of October annually would be dedicated to smiles. He called it World Smile Day. The first World Smile Day was held on October 1, 1999. Ball, in creating World Smile Day, wanted everyone to devote one day each year to smile and perform kind acts throughout When did World Smile the world.

Tabernacle Community Baptist Church names first woman senior pastor Rev. Dr. Donna Childs

By Kathy Gaillard Special for the Milwaukee Times Proverbs 22:6 (ESV) tells us to “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it.” That counsel was more than a notion for Mother Gleneva and Deacon Martin Childs, Sr. Thanks to their obedience, Rev. Dr. Donna Childs and her siblings are poster children for the merits of not just being hearers of the Word, but doers (James 1:22). Dr. Childs’ parents not only raised ten children in a Christ-centered home, but they modeled Christianity in their daily lives. The results are evidenced in the fact that three of their children are now senior pastors of churches, and the other siblings continue to live rich, productive, and fulfilling Christian lives as they serve in various areas of ministry.

“We all grew up in Tabernacle Community Baptist Church; it was a part of the fiber of our lives. In fact, my mother met my father there—he was her Sunday school teacher. I accepted Christ there, have siblings who all presently serve in various areas of ministries here, and my two older brothers who serve as under shepherds of their own churches, continue to regard Tabernacle as their ‘home’ church,” said Dr. Childs.

Perhaps it’s not so unex-

pected that Dr. Childs would become the first female senior pastor of the almost 100-year old church. The youngest sibling, she admits that early on there was something different about her.

Where other children would squirm and become antsy in church, she was attentive and mesmerized by sermons.

“As a child, I couldn’t get enough of preaching and, as I grew older, I could sit for hours absorbing the Word imparted by my first pastor, Rev. Jewel Williams, and others,” she said.

Dr. Childs has never strayed from her spirituality, even as she pursued higher education, a promising corporate career, and as a teacher and principal in the academic arena. After graduating from Marquette University, she worked for a time at US Bank and GE Medical Systems. When she returned to Rufus King High School (her alma mater) to coach the girls’ basketball team, her former teacher and coach became a catalyst and inspiration to pursue a career in education. Dr. Childs worked at Messmer High School for more than a decade—first as a teacher, then Theology Teacher, Dean of Students, Assistant Principal, and Girls’ Varsity Basketball Coach. She left Messmer after accepting a position as Director/Principal at New Testament Christian Acade-

She was Director/Principal there for 13 years.

“When I accepted my first teaching position at Messmer, I fell in love with working with youth. When considering my future in the field of education, I contemplated a career as a private consultant or professor, but the Lord had other plans for me. My former pastor, Dr. Don Darius Butler, served as a mentor and when he relocated, I was asked to step in and serve as interim pastor.

The Lord began to speak to me about pastoring at Tabernacle. That was not in my plans, but all the while, God had been preparing me for this,” she said.

Besides Pastor Butler’s mentoring, Dr. Childs is quick to credit several others who have poured into her life over the years. She acknowledges two individuals in particular— the late Pastor Pearlie Qualls and Dr. Frederick G. Sampson (Pastor of Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church in Detroit, MI)—for being key spiritual mentors and inspirations to her. In addition, Dr. Childs’ siblings, two older brothers

(one is Senior Pastor at Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church in Milwaukee and the other is Senior Pastor at Berean Baptist Church in Washington, D.C.), Dr. Gloria Pitchford-Nicholas (trustee ministry), Pastor Julius Malone (Senior Pastor of New Testament Church) and Bishop Cheryl Brown (Senior Pastor of Believers In Christ) have been and continue to be mentors and integral members of her ‘village’.

“There have been a plethora of relatives and people— in and outside of my ‘church family’—who have helped guide my path. In addition to (Continued on pg. 5) www.milwaukeetimesnews.com

Rev. Dr. Childs (Continued from pg. 4) my parents, the many church mothers and fathers, pastors, godmothers and my first pastors, the Rev. Jewel Williams and Rev. Robert L. Harris, have demonstrated love, guidance and helped groom me. So many individuals that I can’t name them all,” she said.

As is her nature, having a heart for Christ is important, but she recognized the importance of prayer and preparation for her journey and calling. She earned a Doctorate of Ministry Degree from Northern Seminary in Lombard, IL. She also has earned multiple advanced and graduate degrees in educational leadership and business administration.

Holistic health is also important to Dr. Childs—mind, body, and spirit—which led her to found Christian Fellowship Sportz. Blessed with athletic abilities, she was involved in sports throughout middle and high school. She also played basketball with her brothers and admits that she tried to emulate Dr. J (Julius Erving), laughing when she shared that she “was pretty good.” Apparently, she was better than ‘pretty good’ because she was among the first candidates to be inducted into the Rufus King High School’s Athletic Hall of Fame, where she played varsity volleyball, basketball, and softball.

She credits sports for teaching discipline, teamwork, and camaraderie. She also sees it as a way to relate to people to illustrate unique and understandable spiritual analogies.

“I founded Christian Sportz to connect with other Christians and provide opportunities to evangelize.

We started out with three churches playing softball in the summer and that quickly grew to 20 churches at one point. Sports can serve as a great connector and equalizer. Using sports terminology and illustrations in sermons provides a relatable connection with people. Sports continues to be a big part of my life,” she said.

As with other businesses and organizations, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected Tabernacle. Ever the optimist, Dr. Childs sees the benefits as well as hinderances.

Sandra Malone, MBA OUR SPONSOR

“It’s difficult not having that personal contact. I love visiting our members in nursing homes and hospitals— that has been the hardest part for me. I miss not being able to worship and fellowship together, even though we continue to hold services online.

The pandemic has forced us to become creative as well.

We’ve expanded our media ministry—live streaming and telephone ministry. Also, early on during the coronavirus, I was able to reach out to every member to see how they were doing. That was such a blessing,” she said.

Dr. Childs’ favorite scripture is Jeremiah 33:3, which reads, “Call out to me and I will answer you, and will show you great and mighty things, secrets you do not know.”

“I have always believed that God has so much for us; things we cannot imagine or comprehend. I try to seek and call out to Him to order my steps and I believe that if I keep seeking God, He will continue to show me great things. He’s the author of everything in my life,” she said.

As for Tabernacle’s future, Dr. Childs is excited about the things the Lord has shown her about the church’s future.

“My prayer and desire are to empower individuals and transform them through the Word of God. Our church is Tabernacle Community Baptist Church. Community is significant. We endeavor to reach out to the community to assist and help. We want to empower families. We don’t want to do it for them but empower them to do it themselves—home by home.

We also want to continue empowering our members so that they grow spiritually. We have land that we’ve purchased over the years and other land that may become available. We are praying for God’s leading for how and what to build to benefit our community, in God’s timeline. We are excited about what God has in store for Tabernacle.

“At times God just pours into me when I’m in His presence. That gets me excited. I can see God moving. I am blessed and humbled to be called the seventh Pastor of a church that will soon be 100 years old, and its first female Pastor. That’s God moving. Psalm 118:23 (NIV) reads “the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.” This is all God’s doing; not mine. The Lord is moving and it’s marvelous to watch,” she said.

The cost of obesity By: Allegra Balmadier The increasing rate of obesity in the United States is getting lots of attention.

Unfortunately, much of the conversation oversimplifies the issue as purely about diet and exercise. In reality, higher body weights stem from a complex combination of reasons still not entirely understood.

What is clear is that much of the shift is societal or systemic in nature and about much more than individual habits. Statistics show obesity affects members of groups with varying social statuses in different ways. Notably, obesity is disproportionately common among black women.

That alone isn’t inherently significant: Body weight itself is not an indicator of health, and plenty of Americans fit the narrowly defined parameters for obesity without facing health issues.

For others, however, obesity can coexist with metabolic disturbances, cardiovascular problems, and diabetes.

Public Health program from the George Washington University, obesity is associated with more than 100,000 premature deaths and $150 billion in health care costs per year.

slavery and racial discrimination, many black Americans live with financial difficulty that can limit access to nutritious food and safe places for activity –– two key contributors to health.

But systemic barriers to ideal diet and exercise conditions are not the only factors that affect health concerns among black women –– and don’t account for the increased rates of obesity among black women across socioeconomic lines.

Yet, the problem remains difficult to rectify due to complex power and socioeconomic structures that dictate access to survival needs cause increased body fat col- like food, safe living spaces, lection. and trauma-free day-to-day living.

Boston University Professor Yvette C. Cozier has studied how racism can impact obesity in black women and envisions anti-racism programs on a workplace and community level to combat obesity connected to metabolic or other health issues.

The disproportionate impact of obesity among different race, gender and socioeconomic groups points to the way inequality in the United States directly affects the quality of life and access to food and safety. To improve the health care crisis in our country, it’s vital to investigate systemic barriers to elemental needs.
