For Janet Mitchell, Beverly Hicks, andGloria Rogers, being able to capture apart of history is important to them intheir lifetime.

The three has been members of theNAACP since they were young girls, andthe civil rights organization has served asmotivation for them to travel toWashington DC on three occasions to seeBlack history be made.

Mitchell said that the trio grew up in a

time when civil rights were on the frontburner. “We all ways knew that we was togive back––you have to work for thingsthat mean something to you,” sheexplained.

They have attended both inaugurationceremonies for President Barak Obama.They draw a contrast between the two.

Hicks said that the enthusiasm at thefirst inauguration just wasn’t there thistime. “The first time it was like we wasflying on cloud nine,” she suggested. Shewent on to say, “It was a broad feeling

that people were of one accord. The feel-ing was so thick in the air, people wascoming up to you hugging you, even ifthey did not know you––you was family,”she added.

Rogers states four years ago watchingthe inauguration was exciting, but thistime it was a different kind of excitementan emotional one.

She found prided in the fact that he hadbeen elected twice.

She was also inspired again to gobecause she started volunteering forObama soon after he made his historicalannouncement that he was running forpresident in Springfield, February 10,2007.

She said she spent tireless hours help-ing with registering people to vote,knocked on doors, and handed out signs.Rogers states she had to see it through tothe end and go to the inauguration thesecond time. Rogers believes thatObama’s speech was wonderful. “The

best part was when our president lookedback, and acknowledged all the peopleand it seemed he was saying to me, thankyou for showing up and watching me getsworn in,” It was emotional she acknowl-edged, as she wiped tears from her eyes.

Rogers believes President Obama hasopened the doors for another Black presi-dent to come into office of the UnitedStates, she states it was a great experienceand is glad she had the opportunity towatch history in the making not once buttwice attending the inauguration of ourfirst black president.

Hicks also believe that doors have beenopen for a new generation. “When I wasgrowing up, there was never a nothingsaid about the president. I do not thinkyou can find one child that do not knowthe name of this president we havetoday,” she imply.

“Kids took a great interest in that wehave a Black president. They took just asmuch interest in it as adults did. Nowthey have someone that they can identifywith. Because of that it has change poli-tics for the Black community,” she con-clude.

Care Bear Day Care Center, located1300 Douglas Ave., is not your everydaytypical childcare facility.

When owners Jay William, KeyshaPerry, and Dewayne Perry decided 13years ago to open their new business, theypromised themselves that they were notgoing to become just another babysittingservice but the beginning educationalexperience for children.

With 40 years of combined experience,their dreams are now becoming a reality.“We did not get to where we are todaywithout hard work–you have to put sweat

The The and tears into it—you have toget up and do something,” the threeacknowledged.

Another part of what has made theirbusiness a success is that the two arecommitted to helping each other. “Wehad to motivate each other day after day,”they explained.

Daycare is no longer what it was whenthey first started. The implementation of

the YoungStar program has drasticallychanged daycare. Today, home and groupdaycare centers are going through a meta-morphosis.

He said that many small and homedaycares are being closed because of thenew stringent rules of the YoungStar pro-gram.

YoungStar is a program of theDepartment of Children and Families cre-ated to improve the quality of child carefor Wisconsin children. YoungStar: evalu-ates and rates the quality of care given bychild care providers; helps parents choose

the best child care for their kids; supportsproviders with tools and training to deliv-er high quality early care; and sets a con-sistent standard for child care quality.

“There are no second chances in day-care any longer,” he emphasized.

He said that he would like to see day-care be modeled similar to how RacineUnified School District is run, where par-ents enroll children within the district

where they live. Unlike the past, todays daycares are

being rated by YoungStar according totheir curriculum. He believes that his ideais very possible.

He also says that parents can take com-

fort in knowing that education is beingstressed more and more in the running ofa childcare center. “You can no longerget by with Mary had a little lamb,” thetwo explained.

Care Bear has the capacity for 82 kidsand on any given day kids between sixand 13 are in the Center learning. “Theyare coming into our daycare to learn, notto sit around and play all day, they aregoing to come in here and learn some-thing,” said Perry.

She says at Care Bear, by the time their

kids are ready to go into kindergarten,they have mastered their numbers, thealphabet, and they can recognize close to200 words.

The two say that part of their curricu-lum is the “Your Baby Can Read” course.

“We are diligent in educating our kids,”said Jay. The kids are focused on educa-tional activities no less than five times aday.

The two say they want to make surethat the kids who graduate from CareBear are never labeled negatively by soci-ety. “What they learn, they can take withthem the rest of their lives,” says Jay.

Their success and growth are nowallowing Care Bear to be open 24 hours aday. For additional information call:(262) 633-9255.

Deontrae Mayfield, 35, life long resi-dent of Racine always desired to be a car-penter in his youth, and never for amoment did he imagine he would becomea self published author.

Up to date the 1996 Park High Schoolgraduate has had four published novels

through his company, PanhandlersPublishing. Initially people were the rea-son he says he writes, and the journey forhim has spanned more than 15 years inand 20 books later as the company grows.“People inspired me to write.” Deontraeexpressed! I would write a note here andthere, then family & friends wouldencourage me to continue,” saidMayfield.

Four of his books have been publishedin soft cover and a fourth relationshipbook is an E-book, downloadable fromthe Internet.

His latest release is a 200 page softcover edition entitled, Heard AboutTomorrow, a cultural fiction book thattakes the reader back to the mid 1800’s.“It’s a kind of ‘Back to the Future’ typebook about a slave that comes from 1852into the modern world,” Mayfieldexplained.

The scene is set on a slave plantationin Atlanta, Georgia, the main character isamazed at the transformation of Americabut disheartened by the morals, valuesand the disposition of African Americanin 2012. He’s thrilled over seeing theelection of an African American as presi-dent, some one who looks like him, andwhose ancestry could be traced back tohis motherland.

But as much as he is astonished, he isalso dumfounded that Black Americanshave lost so many significant gains inrecent decades. “The slave is saddened to

see the values that Blacks had achievedbeing compromised in the 21st century,”almost taking pride in tearing one anotherdown, instead of building one anotherup.” said Mayfield.

When asked how he came up with thebook idea, he said he didn’t! Mayfield

attributed this particular novel to a higherpower. This book was written in ninedays, which he deems as an out of bodyexperience, seeing that this is almostimpossible under normal circumstances.

He disclosed that his talent to writenovels and books is more than a talent isa gift.

Mayfield admits that he has no formaltraining and has never attended writingschool, despite his mother is an Englishteacher.

“My talent for writing comes from put-ting thoughts on paper,” he explains.“When I started, I did a lot of letter writ-ing and short notes people would tell methat they loved my words and from that itjust grew.”

His first venture into becoming a pub-lisher was to write small stories. “I startedoff with little pamphlets that I personallyhanded out, which grew into my firstbook,” he said.

When asked what he wants to accom-plish with his new book he responded,“For an average reader, enlightenment.But for members of the African Americancommunity I want more. I want Blackpeople to read the book and see what theirgrandmothers and great-grandmothers allhad to go through for young people tohave the simple right to vote and go toschool.” He went on to stress, “I wantthis generation to know about all the beat-ings and dying that took place in order toget to where we are now.”

Mayfield believes that this generation,which he describes as between 15 and 35years old, is losing the concept of whatwe should be as Black people.

“Some times people need to besnapped back into reality and this book isthe very thing to make that happen,” hefeels.

“There is nothing in this book that’sbrand new, but it’s a spark, it’s a verydeep book.

Growing up in Racine’s inner-city,” hesaid, “this book is the kind of book Ishould have read as a youngster.”

He revealed that as he read the book,he was also inspired. “I read each chapteras if I was someone else and not theauthor.”

The official book signing for the highlyanticipated novel “ Heard AboutTomorrow” will be at San Francisco Grill,6300 Washington Ave. Racine, WI. 53406on February 21st, 2013. Doors open at7pm.

"When you control a man's thinkingyou do not have to worry about hisactions. You do not have to tell him not tostand here or go yonder. He will find his"proper place" and will stay in it. You donot need to send him to the back door. Hewill go without being told. In fact, if thereis no back door, he will cut one for hisspecial benefit. His education makes itnecessary."-- Dr. Carter G. Woodson,"The Miseducation of the Negro"

The origin of Black History Month canbe traced back to 1926, when Dr. CarterG. Woodson, the second AfricanAmerican to earn a Ph.D. at HarvardUniversity, established Negro Historyweek. He realized that the accomplish-ments by people of African descent wereignored, omitted from or misrepresentedin textbooks. The month of February waschosen because it encompassed the birth-days of Frederick Douglass and AbrahamLincoln. In 1976, the week became amonth, and today February is celebratedas Black History Month.

munity members to experience Tejumola“Teju” Ologboni, a master storyteller andfolklorist, Wednesday, Feb. 6, from noonto 1 p.m. in Main Place of Wyllie Hall.His stories provide greater understandingof the profound influence of African her-itage on our traditions and identities.

Thisyear’s theme, "At the Crossroads ofFreedom and Equality: The EmancipationProclamation and the March onWashington," honors the 150th anniver-sary of the Emancipation Proclamation,and the 50th anniversary of the March onWashington
