Dr. Wallace McClain Cheatham,

an internationally recognized composer, performing artist, and scholar recently passed. He was 76 years old.

Cheatham’s compositions, which span a variety of genres, have been performed in

national and international settings and have been published by a number of prominent presses. He was the subject of bi-ographical record in ‘Who’s Who in the World, Who’s Who in America, and Who’s Who in American Education.

A long-time choral director, pianist, and organist (particularly at Milwaukee’s St. Mark AME Church), Cheatham was an in-demand accompanist who was also active with groups that perform at the Milwaukee Youth Arts Center, and taught for many years for the Milwaukee Public Schools.

The Original Esquires Inducted Into The WAMI Hall of Fame!

No, these are NOT the Original Esquires, one of Milwaukee’s musical legends that went onto national and international fame!

These are the children (refered to now as ‘Es-quires II’) of one of the original members per-forming several songs the Original Esquires are known for, especially their classic and biggest hit, “Get On Up!”

Esquires II performed at the recent Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) Awards, held at the

Turner Hall ballroom. The Original Esquires represent an important

chapter within the city’s strong R&B history. The original group was formed in 1957 and

was made up of siblings Gilbert, Alvis and Betty Moorer.

They went through some line-up changes by the time they broke out of Milwaukee and left their mark on a national audience.

They signed with Bunky Records and their

1967 debut record, “Get On Up!, climbed the charts. The single reached number three on the R&B charts, and number 11 on the pop chart.

Upon its popularity, they played Chicago’s Regal Theater and the Apollo Theatre in New York City.

The Original Esquires released subsequent singles and one full-length album. Their 1971 single, “Girls in the City,” reached number 18 on the U.S. R&B chart.—Photo by Yvonne Kemp

SEATTLE – Zillow’s HBCU Housing Hackathon, which drew more than 150 students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), awarded top prizes to teams that inno-vated to help at-risk renters and struggling first-time home buyers.

The top three finishers in the hackathon, created in collaboration with the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) , Black Tech Ventures (BTV) and Amplify 4 Good, won over the judges with projects that offer solutions to barriers in the housing journey.

A team of four Morehouse College students won first place and $20,000 for its program that uses machine learning to predict increases in rent and utility costs at a particular address over time, offering renters early warning about looming af-fordability challenges. Zillow also will donate $25,000 to Morehouse College’s computer science program as part of the first-place prize.

“It’s awesome to conceptualize a project that could help a lot of people and not only win this hackathon and receive prizes that are great for my team, but also

If you have had trouble finding af-fordable child care, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic began in March 2020, you are not alone. New data suggests a staff-ing shortage may be partly to blame.

According to the National Associ-ation for the Education of Young Children, or NAEYC, 78% of early childhood education centers re-ported experiencing staffing chal-lenges. This has led to fewer available spots for children, longer wait lists for parents and a corps of

burned-out providers. This rate is in line with

both state and national trends, with 76% of centers in Wisconsin and 80% of centers nationally reporting a staffing shortage in the same NAEYC survey. NAEYC is a membership organization for early child-hood educators.

Providers in Milwaukee say the biggest reason why they are short-staffed is be-cause it is difficult to offer competitive wages in an in-dustry with margins that are already tight.

In the same NAEYC sur-vey, 76% of respondents said their staff received in-creases in compensation through bonuses or base-line pay. At the same time, 21% of early childhood edu-cators working in centers and family child care homes are worried about being cut off from public benefits like FoodShare or housing sub-sidies if their compensation increases.

Additionally, about 41% of surveyed providers in Mil-waukee, including 44% of programs owned by people of color, said they would

have closed during the pan-demic if they had not re-ceived financial assistance from the state or philan-thropic sources.

‘Four jobs in one’ Yimma Davila-Castro runs

Yimma’s Bright Beginnings Daycare in the Polonia neighborhood. Hers is a small operation and is only licensed to take in eight children based on their age. Because of state rules, she is not able to take more children under 2 years old unless she hires staff, which has been difficult.

“It’s like four jobs in one: accountant, teacher, cook, custodian,” Davila-Castro said, referring to the many roles her employees take on. “And you need to go through a background check, take classes, just to make less than you would at McDonald’s.”

Davila-Castro said to be competitive and to stay in business, she would have to charge families beyond what they can typically af-ford.

“In order to pay someone $18 an hour, I need to charge two and half times what I charge now or

more,” Davila-Castro said. “And the parents paying out of pocket are not rich. One paycheck already goes to child care and the other goes to bills.”

Tamara Johnson, the ex-ecutive director of Malaika Early Learning Center in Harambee, said although it has never been easy to hire staff with the necessary qualifications, it’s harder now.

“The pipeline is slim for educators with the required skill set. It is increasingly difficult for folks to submit résumés,” she said, adding that what stops folks from applying is typically a com-bination of low pay, the risk of contracting COVID-19 and that the job is “hard

work emotionally.” Johnson said she would

like to see investment in teacher prep programs such as the Milwaukee Teacher Education Center, or MTEC, and the Literacy Lab. She said doing so would help ensure a steady supply of qualified teachers to keep early childhood education centers enrolling closer to their licensed ca-pacity.

‘I don’t feel like that’s a working society’

In the meantime, though, it is often parents looking for child care on a limited budget who are stuck with the consequences of low staffing.

Sharimah Negrón, a nurse, needed to find child

care for her 8-year-old daughter while she was learning remotely last year.

Every provider she called was full, except for one that was too expensive.

Negrón was able to switch her work schedule around in order to be home when needed, but said she would have had to consider quitting her job in order to be with her kids if things hadn’t worked out.

“Sometimes it’s more af-fordable to just have a par-ent stay home than to spend half your paycheck for child care,” Negrón said.

“You’re left with making the decision about whether to have a family or not, and I don’t feel like that’s a working society.”

help earn a donation for our college,” said Paul Lockett, member of team Househouse and senior computer science student at Morehouse Col-lege.

“Coming into this, we had a plan, we executed on it and we are so happy we had this amazing opportunity to work and learn with Zillow.”

The event brought together 49 teams representing 17 HBCUs.

Six teams advanced to the final round and had five mi-nutes to present their ideas virtually, using live demonstra-tions and presentation decks, to a panel of judges made up of Zillow and tech industry leaders.

“We are incredibly im-pressed with the ingenuity, passion and leadership the students showed at Zillow’s HBCU Housing Hackathon,” said Aldona Clottey, Zillow vice president of Corporate Social Responsibility and one of the judges.

“It was inspiring to see ev-eryone dig into this challenge and bring their perspective on solutions to some of the prob-lems people face when it comes to renting, buying or selling a home.

“These students showed us that our future is in great hands and we are proud to support them and the institu-tions that serve them.”

The first-place team from Morehouse, Househouse, in-cluded Kendall Camp, Grant Commodore, Joshua Curry and Paul Lockett.

Their “Reliby” application addresses financial uncer-tainty for long-term renters and provides users with a “stability score” to illuminate dramatic increases in living expenses that might come months or years in the future.

“Computer science depart-ments at HBCUs specialize in developing technically compe-tent students with a sense of mission and purpose that drives them to innovate,” said Alfred R. Watkins, Ph.D., aca-demic program director for computer science at More-house College.

“The success of the winning team from Morehouse is an indication the college is work-ing hard to attract, nurture, support, educate and chal-lenge young students to be-come the tech-savvy leaders this world needs today.”

Zillow HBCU Hackathon Runners-Up The other hackathon prize

winners were Team SU of Southern University and A&M College, and Aht Aht of Phi-lander Smith College.

Team SU won second place and a $12,000 prize for its “ZPlan” to provide Zillow users — primarily those who aspire to become homeowners but might lack financial literacy

and understanding of the home-buying process — with tailored help, such as tips for home buying or renting and suggested listings based on housing location data.

“This was by far one of the most intriguing hackathons I have ever participated in, and the competition was off the charts,” said Rason Irvin, member of Team SU and computer science student at Southern University and A&M College.

“My team and I were able to accomplish a lot in our short amount of time and grow skills that will carry over into our ev-eryday lives.

“Having peers performing at a high level and in the same domain proves to me that the ‘odd man out’ feeling I have felt in previous roles will hope-fully be a thing of the past as the top diversity talent makes their way into tech.”

Team SU also included Nicolas Hardin and Dominique McCraney.

Aht Aht won third place and $6,000 for its “ZInvest” idea, an investment tool designed to lessen the burden of high housing costs and help level the playing field in real estate investing through tokenization.

The team conceptualized a marketplace where one can invest in real estate at a lower price point using blockchain technology.

Aht Aht included Vanessa Agbugba, Samuel Alake, La-shaun McKenzie and Sam Davis Omekara.

The remaining semifinalist teams include:

genZillow of Howard Univer-sity, including Derrick Boston III, Tehya Gaines, Ashley Haynes and Joshua Walling-ton

FAMU Innovators of Florida A&M University, including Erika Dargan, Wicliff Fleuri-zard, Zachary Gilchrist and Nana Ama Marfo

The House of Morehouse College, including Trae Brown, Irvin Franklin, Divine Linus and Travis Sherman

Judges of the semifinal round included Rhonda Allen, chief executive officer, /dev/color; David Beitel, Zillow chief technology officer; Loni Mahanta, Zillow vice pres-ident, government relations; Tiffany Taylor, chief people & impact officer, GSV Ventures; and special student judge Richard Clay, Bowie State University Class Of 2022.

All students from the top three teams also will receive new laptops, textbook gift cards and AfroTech World 2021 conference tickets, and all eligible hackathon partici-pants interested in a role at Zillow will have an opportunity to interview for an internship.

The hackathon’s final pitch round was judged by Zillow and tech industry leaders that

included Eric Bailey, vice president of Experience De-sign at Zillow; Aldona Clottey, Zillow vice president of Corpo-rate Social Responsibility;

Stan Humphries, Ph.D., chief analytics officer at Zillow; Jaisa Minor, head of partner-ships at HBCU.vc; Damien Peters, founder of Wealth

Noir; and Chad Womack, Ph.D., senior director of Na-tional STEM Programs and Initiatives at UNCF.

State Agencies To Host Virtual Listening Sessions For Wisconsin Environmental Equity Dashboard Community Listening Sessions To Be Held Nov. 2, 4 And 6

MADISON, Wis. – Gov. Tony Evers recently an-nounced that four state agencies and partnering organizations are developing the Wisconsin Envi-ronmental Equity Tool (WEET), a public health and environmental equity mapping dashboard.

The collaboration between the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Department of Admin-istration (DOA), Department of Health Services (DHS) and the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) is designed to locate and compare public health and environmental impacts across the state to advance equity.

The dashboard will allow community members, government and elected officials, public health professionals and nonprofits to pinpoint Wiscon-sin's communities most impacted by environmen-tal, public health and climate vulnerability.

This information will also help identify the envi-ronmental challenges and prioritize funding prior-ities to build healthy, resilient communities.

The public is invited to participate in a series of upcoming online listening sessions in November to ensure the mapping tool reflects the experi-ences of people affected by gaps in environmen-tal and public health protections.

The sessions are also an opportunity for state agencies to connect directly with underserved communities often facing the greatest environ-mental and health consequences, including Tribal Nations, communities of color and low-income families.

Agency staff and environmental health experts will facilitate the sessions’ small group discus-sions.

Wisconsin is joining other states in applying technology like the WEET dashboard to reduce health and environmental inequities. Other states such as California, Maryland and Washington have all created environmental justice screening and mapping tools.

WEET and other state tools give state and local leaders a complete picture of the cumulative im-pacts of health and environmental inequities and to help them make informed decisions to improve the health, resilience and sustainability of affected communities.

Common Council Pres. Johnson successfully provides funding for 195 new police recruits in the 2022 City budget

Common Council President Cavalier

Johnson’s proposal for three police re-cruit classes of 65 each, for a total of 195 new officers in 2022, was rec-ommended for approval during today’s meeting of the Finance and Personnel Committee.

“The continuing increase in crime throughout Milwaukee is unacceptable, and staffing the police department is crucial when considering how to best address public safety issues in our city,” said President Johnson. “During the past two years, we’ve seen our average sworn strength decline by more than 100 officers, and without the budget amend-ment passed today it would have declined by over 100 more.”

“This investment is one piece of the puzzle, along with continuing to support prevention and intervention efforts,” Johnson said, adding: “I will continue to be a champion for eradicating violence on all fronts.”

Adding the additional police recruit classes will have $0 ef-fect on the tax levy due to federal funds that have become available.

All budget amendments will be considered for adoption at a special meeting of the full Common Council set for Friday, November 5 at 9 a.m. The meeting will be televised live on the City Channel (channel 25 on Spectrum Cable and chan-nel 99 on AT&T U-Verse in the City of Milwaukee) and via streaming video on the city website at city.milwaukee.gov/Channel25.
