Milwaukee Times April 25-May 1, 2013 Issue

On Friday, April 26, at 7:00 p.m., a diverse group of more than 25 community organizations will sponsor a celebration of the lifelong activism of Rosa Parks, with special guest Jeanne Theo-haris, author of The Rebel-lious Life of Rosa Parks, at Milwaukee’s Central United Methodist Church, 639 N. 25th Street (at Wisconsin Av-enue). The event is free and open to the public, with free off-street parking south of the church. Doors will open at 6:15 p.m., when a preview documentary on Rosa Parks will be shown.

According to MSNBC’s

Melissa Harris-Perry, “At last, Jeanne Theoharis an-swers the question, 'who was Rosa Parks?' The Rebel-lious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks will undoubtedly be hailed as one of the most important scholarly contributions to Civil Rights history ever writ-ten.” Julian Bond, Chairman Emeritus of the NAACP, similarly praised Theoharis’s new biography: “In the first sweeping history of Parks’ life, she shows us a long-time activist, committed to fight white supremacy from her earliest days, and continuing that fight when her notori-ety forced her to relocate to

Detroit.… Rosa Parks not only sat down on the bus, she stood on the right side of justice for her entire life.”

This event will include live music and light refresh-ments, visual displays of art-work related to Rosa Parks from AYZHA Fine Arts Gallery, and a discussion of Rosa Parks’s six decades of activism with Dr. Theoharis. There will be a book sale and signing after the program, in cooperation with Reader’s Choice Bookshop, 1950 N. Dr. Martin Luther King Dr., (414) 265-2003.

Since 2010, Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital has had a partnership with the Church of God in Christ (COGIC), which is a collaborative of 44 churches in Milwaukee to provide health screening and other preventative care to congregants and commu-nity members in Milwaukee’s central city.

The partnership is called Urban Church Wellness. Through this effort, the healthcare services that are made available include: mammography screening, colorectal cancer screening, cooking classes, nutritional education, diabetes educa-tion, and the development of programs suggested by the church-based health liai-son volunteers.

In 2012, more than 2,500 healthcare services were completed.

In an announcement made on Saturday, April 20, lead-ers from both the faith and health communities, added the churches of the General Baptist State Convention of Wisconsin, led by Rev. Garry B. Levy. This partnership brings in an additional 30 churches that will join Urban Church Wellness.

Rev. Levy is excited about the new partnership. “We got involved because we want to be able to lessen the disparities in the community. We’ve already had people come forth and say, I don’t have insurance but are in need of free health preven-tion screenings.”

Bishop C.H. McClelland is founder and president of Word of Hope Ministries, which began in 1996. Bishop McClelland worked for the Milwaukee County Depart-ment of Health and Human Services for 19 years. Word of Hope Ministries, which is a 501c3, non-profit organi-zation provides alcohol and other drug abuse (AODA) services, job placement and training, family and individ-ual counseling, mentoring and prisoner-reentry, among many other programming efforts.

When asked about the addition of the 30 Baptist churches to the wellness program, Bishop McClel-land said, “They will expand it because they interface with people we may not because it’s not only through

Lessons from Tuskegee: Educate self firstWith an historic visit to

Tuskegee University in Ala-bama, the Honorable Minis-ter Louis Farrakhan contin-ued his quest to inspire and enlighten another generation of Black people—and expe-rience the special joy he gets from teaching young people.

The Nation of Islam is known for not only its wis-dom and discipline but also for affording young people the opportunity to come for-ward, learn and work for the resurrection, upliftment and deliverance of Black people and ultimately the world.

At a time when many shun or condemn the young, the Minister continues to teach,

train and provide needed tu-telage and guidance.

In Tuskegee, however, not only did the Minister deliver words of love, wisdom and passion, but students, the university president, political leaders and others embraced the man and the message.

Their bold embrace of truth, despite threats and opposition, says something about what is needed in Black America and where we are ultimately headed as a people.

To be free, a once enslaved people cannot accept and operate off of the vision and the training of their former

ally touches us all in some way, shape or form, and the conversation heating up in Washington with Congress surrounding gun violence, legislation and immigration reform – the good outweighs the bad, always.

President Obama spoke at the service and said, “Scrip-ture tells us to run with en-durance the race that is set be-fore us. Run with endurance that race that is set before us. I’m here today on behalf of the American people with a simple message. Every one of us has been touched by this attack on your beloved city. Every one of us stands with you. Because, after all, it’s our beloved city, too.”

President Obama was right, Boston is every-one’s beloved city and through this tragedy at the marathon – the benefits have reached all the way to Milwau-kee.

Ink to the People, lo-cated at 6600 West Cal-umet Road, is a custom t-shirt company that al-lows people to design, create and sell their t-shirt designs. They are responsible for the processing of orders, packing and shipping

of the now-iconic ‘Boston Strong’ blue t-shirts being sold worldwide. The t-shirts were created by two college students from Emerson Col-lege in Boston, Chris Do-bens and Nick Reynolds. The impact of the t-shirts has been a business booster for Ink to the People, which offi-cially launched their website, inktothepeople.com, about a month ago, Todd said in a phone interview with the Milwaukee Times. The sales of the t-shirts are well on their way to donating over $500,000 to the One Fund in Boston. The One Fund was created to serve as a central fund for financial support to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing.

Rev. Liz Walker was right; if we cling together and face the darkness head-on light will shine.

Assistant Assembly Demo-cratic Leader Sandy Pasch (D – Shorewood) released the following statement on Wensday, April 17, 2013, re-garding Assembly consider-ation on Assembly Bill 85, which would significantly micromanage the budget and structure of the Milwaukee County Board:

“At a time when Wisconsin ranks 44th in the nation, 45th in wage growth, and trails all our neighboring states in job creation, we should be fo-cused on bold and immediate action to provide stability for our everyday families. But instead, Republicans have decided to focus on distract-ing proposals that disregard and divide our local commu-nities.

“I am always open to dis-cussing how to make gov-ernment more efficient, ef-fective, and responsive at all levels, but unfortunately, AB 85’s attack on local control

has done more to polarize Milwaukee County than to reform it.

“Milwaukee does not need a Madison-dictated solution. I have faith that County Ex-ecutive Abele, County Board Chair Dimitrijevic – and the rest of our local leaders and community stakehold-ers – can sit down, roll up their sleeves, and have inclu-

sive and pragmatic discus-sions about how Milwaukee County government can best serve its constituents.

“Right now, the state should be working together to pass bold and immediate legislation that creates fami-ly-sustaining jobs, invests in worker training programs, bolsters our public educa-tion, and increases access to affordable healthcare.

“It’s not too late for my colleagues to choose to fo-cus on these vital issues and leave the polarizing, divisive initiatives – like AB 85 – be-hind.”

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev

Standing with our ‘Boston Strong’ By: Raina J. JohnsonSpecial to the Milwaukee Times

Last week after the hor-rific bombing attack at the Boston Marathon, which is always held on the third Monday in April, Patriots Day, our nation watched a days-long manhunt for the suspects and tired to deci-pher through various media reports of false information. Finally, one of the bombing suspects, Dzhokhar Tsar-naev, was found alive – and we cheered.

Now begins the question-ing and mourning processes; laying to rest the three that were killed and caring for the injured at the hospitals, in-cluding the suspect that sur-vived. His older brother, Ta-merlan Tsarnaev was killed during a shootout with po-lice. On April 18, 2013, there was an interfaith prayer ser-vice at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston.

The first speaker at the ser-vice was Reverend Liz Walk-er from Roxbury Presbyteri-an Church. Her impassioned opening remarks questioned God. “There are age-old questions that rise up far too often these days, questions we all ask no matter what our faith condition or our station in life. How can a good God allow bad things to happen? Where was God when evil slithered in and planted the horror that exploded our in-nocence?

“While someone this morning may have answers, I do not. But this is what I know, God is here, in the midst of this scared gath-ering, in this sanctuary and beyond - different faiths, dif-ferent races, strangers bound first by loss and pain but now clinging together and grow-ing strength in a city that has always faced the darkness head-on!”

Her questions are the same that many of all faiths asked when the bombs went off. But then God came through, various confirmed reports of first-responders and regular people going into the thick smoke using first-aid and carrying people out to safety.

Liz Walker also quoted a bit of scripture in her clos-ing moments at the podium, citing 2 Corinthians 4:8-12 (NKJV), that reads, “We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are per-plexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not for-saken; struck down, but not destroyed – always carrying about in the body the dy-ing of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. For we who live are always deliv-ered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So then death is work-ing in us, but life in you.”

President Barack Obama’s reelection confirmed many of the long-seen demo-graphic changes occurring in the United States. The 2012 electorate was younger, more educated, and more racially diverse than any in our na-tion’s history. The lesson in all this for African Ameri-cans is just as profound: be prepared to use the new arithmetic of Black political power or watch it diminish in an increasingly diverse and more resource competitive nation.First, the demographics

African Americans com-prised 13 percent of the 2012 electorate, the same percent-age as 2008; however, the 2012 national electorate and African American electorate were down relative to 2008. There is still room for sig-nificant growth. According to U.S. Census Bureau data, there are roughly 26.6 mil-lion voting-age eligible Af-rican Americans as of 2008; of that number 16.68 million (or 62.7 percent) cast ballots in 2012.

Latinos comprised 10 per-cent of the 2012 electorate,

building on the 2008 total of eight percent. As the largest racial minority in the nation, and with projections indicat-ing that 50,000 Latinos will turn 18 years of age each month for the next 20 years, their political impact relative to their proportion of the nation’s population has not been fully realized.

Whites comprised 72 per-cent of the 2012 general electorate, down from 87 percent in 1992. The white share of the national elector-ate has consistently fallen for nearly a generation, from 87 percent in 1992, to 83 per-cent in 1996, to 81 percent in 2000, to 77 percent in 2004, to 74 percent in 2008, to 72 percent in 2012.

Asian Americans comprise three percent of the 2012 electorate. However, they are America’s fastest-grow-ing ethnic group and are an important and underrated portion of the swing vote in states like Virginia and North Carolina.

Bottom line: With the white share of the elector-ate in continued decline, the Latino vote not yet solidified, and the Asian American vote still in growth-mode, Afri-

can Americans are presented with an opportunity to apply political power, not just in-fluence, in the years ahead by picking who wins elections.Now, the politics

Conventional wisdom has held that because Afri-can Americans comprise a relatively small segment of America’s population, it can-not amass enough political power to make real, lasting, and effective change in some of the areas that still besiege our communities. I disagree. I think the power does exist, but has been unrealized be-cause of low electoral turn-

out. Early analysis of the 2012 election returns suggest that the 2012 election is the first in recorded history in which the African American turnout rate exceeded the white turnout rate. If con-firmed, that milestone may well prove to the be launch-ing point for a new arithmetic of Black political power. Af-rican American turnout has increased in each of the last four presidential elections. That has great potential for down ballot races and, if continued and coupled with further erosion of the White vote, greater political power for African Americans.

This, then, opens the door to real change on issues rang-ing from the prison-industri-al complex, which warehous-es Black men in community-damaging proportions, to access to college which, in an era of diminishing resources, has the power to be the sal-vation for Black people in America. Utilizing public policy to reroute the pipeline from community-to-prison to community-to-college can only occur with over-whelming electoral turnout that results in the elections of people who will put into

practice those policies that reflect our collective ideals. So while African American turnout has been at or near record levels in the last two elections, the post-Obama era will require even greater participation from African Americans, in all elections at all levels, to truly result in change.

This will not be easy. Ex-ercising power, and not just settling for symbols, is dif-ficult. It requires that we sometimes be tough with our friends and punish our opponents. Ultimately, how-ever, African Americans will have to be comfortable with the use of political power for achieving policy ends. Poli-tics without policy change is nothing. Failing that, we will continue to get what we’ve always received.

CHILD WATCH By: Marian Wright Edelman

Dr. Michael Fauntroy explains how to leverage growing Black political power the right way

Dr. Michael Fauntroy

We must never give up!The United States Senate’s

failure to pass common sense gun safety measures - the Manchin-Toomey Amend-ment to expand background checks to keep guns away from underage or danger-ous people, and amendments to ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines de-signed only to kill as many human beings as possible -- is a moral failure of great magnitude. Once again the safety of children has been sacrificed by political leaders in service to the gun lobby. As Americans do we value guns more than the lives of children? Do we really want to continue to have political leaders who kowtow to the threats and money and half-truths of the gun lobby and who think their political jobs are more important than the right of children to live and learn and grow up in safety?

The fight to protect chil-dren, not guns is not over because:

Ninety percent of Ameri-cans want a universal back-ground check. This includes 94 percent of North Dakota voters, 89 percent of Indiana voters, 89 percent of New Hampshire voters, 84 per-cent of Arkansas voters, and

79 percent of Montana vot-ers—all states where at least one senator went against the will of their constituents and of the American people. Getting 90 percent of Amer-icans to agree on anything is extremely difficult.

No one elected the Na-tional Rifle Association to be in charge of our children’s and our nation’s safety. We have elected federal, state, and local governments, a na-tional defense department, and federal, state, and lo-cal law enforcement agen-cies to perform this crucial function. The NRA repre-sents less than 10 percent of gun owners and is a minor-ity view. Their stance against universal background checks defies not only 90 percent of all Americans, but 88 percent of those with a gun in the household and 74 percent of the NRA’s own membership. The NRA claims up to five million members but there are many many more Ameri-cans who are not NRA mem-bers. We must lift our voices and use our votes to protect children over guns.

Lies and misinformation must not rule the day in a democratic society. The NRA claimed that the Man-

chin-Toomey Amendment would prevent people from transferring guns to rela-tives and lead to a gun reg-istry. Neither is true. As co-sponsor Senator Joe Man-chin (D-W.Va.), an “A” rated NRA member, said: “That is simply a lie . . . You can loan your hunting rifle to your buddy without any new re-strictions . . . You can give or sell a gun to your brother or your sister, your cousin, your uncle, your co-worker with-out a background check. You can post a gun for sale on the cork bulletin board at your workplace or on your church bulletin board without a background check.” Sena-tor Manchin also said, “[A]nybody that has read that bill that would think that would allow or entice the govern-ment to begin a registry is misleading and lying.” The NRA may have won the first round by spreading lies and confusion, but they must not and will not win in the end.

Our children have a right to grow up in a caring and decent society that protects their right to live and learn in safety. That right must take precedence over anyone’s right to own assault weapons or high capacity magazines

that have nothing to do with self defense or hunting and have no place in the hands of non-military and non-law enforcement personnel. Without these weapons of war applied to our children, how many would be alive to-day? How many Newtown or Aurora or Columbine vic-tims would have survived? Since 1963, 166,562 children and teens died from guns on American soil, while 52,280 U.S. soldiers were killed in action in the Vietnam, Af-ghanistan and Iraq wars combined. On average dur-ing that period, 3,470 chil-dren and teens were killed by guns every year – 174 class-rooms of 20 children. This is intolerable in a decent and democratic society. When will the number of children killed by guns in our coun-try be sufficient for enough of our Congressional leaders to pass common sense gun safety laws to protect them as Connecticut, New York, Colorado, and Maryland have recently done?

Some of our Senators have just told us that they don’t care what 90 percent of us want and have closed their ears to the pleas of those who have lost their children

and family members to gun violence. But we must be de-termined and persistent fleas until we move them either to change their minds or out of office. I hope enough of us will bite them, bite them, and bite them until they do care about the children whose lives have been cut short and those at risk of the same fate. Enough fleas biting strategi-cally can make the biggest dog uncomfortable. And if they flick some of us off but even more of us keep coming back and biting with our calls, e-mails, visits, non-violent direct action protests, and votes (the most impor-tant nonviolent protest)—we’ll win.

Rebuilding our Community

By Dr. Andrew Calhoun, Ed.D. Special for the Milwaukee Times

Looking for a new dealThere is nothing like find-

ing a truly amazing oppor-tunity. The quest to find such deals is beneficial, pro-vides economic security and in some cases is worth the search. They are hard to turn down and in fact we look for them each day.

The preamble in the United States Constitution provides one of the key foundations to our great Nation. This is the basic belief that, “…in or-der to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the com-mon defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our poster-ity…” This was a promise to all citizens.

However, since the adop-tion of the Constitution on September 17, 1787 as the supreme law of the land that when into effect on March 4, 1789, the interpretation of the constitution continues to stir up debate, controversy and protest. Our history is full of events in which the very essence of the Consti-

tution and its meaning has been put to the test. The subjects have varied greatly and the reactions to legisla-tion and Supreme Court re-views have not always been widely accepted.

It goes without saying that we continue as a nation to struggle with seeing things in clear terms, especially in dealing with the basic rights for all Americans. This in-cludes the right to vote, fair housing, quality education, health care, gun control, and immigration, employment opportunities, to union-ize, to provide a safety net, equal representation and to be judged by the content of one’s character and not by the color of their skin. This struggle is real.

We do not need to look far in history for a blueprint of what a new deal looks like. President Franklin D. Roo-sevelt (1933-1945) was the architect of two new deals and they came at a time when the nation was in economic free fall, dealing with the De-

pression and World War II. He created the Federal De-posit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), to protest the bank deposits of people; Securi-ties and Exchange Commis-sion to regulate Wall Street; the Second Bill of Rights, that provided for a living wage, freedom from unfair competition and monopo-lies, fair housing, access to medical care, quality educa-tion and Social Security, to just name a few. At one time, FDR cited that the “test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have little.”

Those deals sound fair to me… Can we do better than that? What do you think?

Aisha Tyler: How gamers can help stop sexual violence

By Elizabeth Plank

When Aisha Tyler isn't busy being a talented actress (i.e. the voice of Lana Kane in FX's animated comedy Archer), a brilliant comedian, a successful author, and a fabulous talk show host, she enjoys being a social justice crusader. As an avid activist, she's supported a range of causes, from gay marriage to reproductive justice. As the woman who famously told Mitt Romney, "You do not love women," she's topped our list of the most amaz-ing feminists in America. In honor of PolicyMic's spe-cial series of content around Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month (read more here), Aisha Tyler agreed to answer a few ques-tions posed by PolicyMic's rockstar intern Liz Plank about her first-hand experi-ence with internet trolls, on-line sexual harassment, and her thoughts on modern-day feminism. Here's what she had to say.

Elizabeth Plank, for Pol-icyMic (EP): You encoun-tered a lot of sexist online harassment after you were the host of the E3 Ubisoft Press Conference. Your re-sponse was awesome. Did it stop the online assaults? What is your advice for women who are being ha-rassed online?

Aisha Tyler (AT): I don't think the gaming let-ter I wrote on Facebook (found here at https://www.facebook.com/notes/a i s h a - t y l e r / d e a r - g a m -ers/10151040991508993) necessarily stopped any on-line assaults. But it did help encourage others to speak out about misogyny in gam-ing, and to help them feel like they had an additional voice speaking on their be-half. And for the record, for every sexist or negative comment I had online, there

were 10 or more encouraging or supportive ones. So while there is still an outspoken contingent of people in the gaming community who try to discourage or lash out at women gamers, for the most part the community becomes more welcoming every day. I love games; and gamers all have that in common. A love of gameplay tends to level the field.

For women who are be-ing harassed online, there are two choices: one, ignore it. This is far easier said than done, but the fact is that if you address a troll, you are feeding their flame. As the saying goes, "don't feed the trolls." They are looking for a reaction, so the smartest and best approach is to not give them that satisfaction. If you must engage, employ your allies. There are far more positive voices in the gam-ing community than negative ones. Retweeting a negative or sexist comment puts that person on blast with the larg-er community. Usually your friends and followers will do the dirty work of ripping this person a new one for you, which I admit with some sheepishness can be very en-joyable to watch.

EP: What do you think men can do or say to stop sexual harassment and sexual violence, both of-fline and online?

AT: Men need to speak up when they see harass-ment, either online or in the real world. Period. Just imagine that this woman is your girlfriend, mother or sister. Would it be okay for someone to treat one of them the way they are treat-ing the woman in front of you? If you can find a way to empathize by relating to the women you care about, it quickly becomes clear that this behavior is unacceptable. And men are more likely to respond to the comments

and scrutiny of other men when they are harassing women, as they can't dismiss their disapproval as gender-motivated. It doesn't have to be a speech. Just a simple, "Dude. Not cool." can make someone reexamine their be-havior.

EP: You've been involved in a lot of causes over the years ranging from mar-riage equality to women's reproductive freedom. Why do these causes mat-ter to you? Do you identify as a feminist?

AT: I definitely identify as a feminist, but more widely, as a humanist. A belief in femi-nism is a belief in personal freedom — the freedom to live a life free of fear of violence, to select a fulfill-ing career and be compen-sated fairly, to choose when to start a family, to marry whom you love. I want ev-eryone, regardless of gender, to live a life free of restric-tion or fear, able to pursue their own personal brand of happiness and fulfillment. As

an American and a patriot, I believe deeply in our right to be the sole architects of our own destiny. That is why I fight for equality.

You can catch Aisha Tyler as part of the cast of Archer Thursdays at 10:00 PM on FX. She also debuts as the host of the (long-awaited) comeback of Whose Line Is It Anyway on June 16th on

CW. She can be seen every weekday as co-host of the Emmy-nominated show The Talk on CBS. Her new book Self-Inflicted Wounds will be out July 9th and you can pre-order it at girlonguy.net. Also be sure to check out her fan-tastic podcast (also available on iTunes and Stitcher).

Christianity 101: The Doctrine of God (Week 1)

Last month this column ad-dressed the subject: “How to Study the Bible.” The Bible is God’s Word to us. It is God’s revelation to His people. The church’s ultimate spiritual au-thority is found in Scripture and it is the supreme author-ity in our lives as Christians. This month I will present some of the basic doctrines of the Christian church to help the believer to sharp-en their understanding and faith. The inspiration for this series came after I was privi-leged to be a part of and at-tend a Ministerial Ordination Council convened and spon-sored by the Milwaukee As-sociates in Ministry (“AIM”). On Sunday, March 26, 2013 Donna M. Childs of Tab-ernacle Community Baptist Church and Ray Louis Walk-er of Christ the King Bap-tist Church were ordained to Christian Ministry. Their knowledge of the doctrines of our faith, evident during the vetting process, was truly refreshing. This month I will

address God, Holy Spirit, Salvation and Redemption in clear, simple language that will give a seasoned believer a fresh understanding of Christian doctrines and help the new believer become fa-miliar with terms pertaining to Christian doctrine. This week I will begin with the Doctrine of God and nar-row the discussion to the ex-istence of God.

Gilbert Bilezikian in “Christianity 101: Your Guide to Eight Basic Chris-tian Beliefs” (Zondervan) wrote: “The Bible never tries to prove the existence of God; it simply affirms that God exists. From the first line of the Bible, it is evi-dent that the world without God is inconceivable since in the biblical mind-set God is the reason for creation and the backdrop for all of life.” When it comes to the exis-tence of God, in addition to the biblical argument, four lines of reasoning have been advanced: ontological, te-leological, cosmological and moral argument.

Ontological Argument.

The most popular form of the ontological argument uses the concept of God to prove God’s existence. It be-gins with the definition of God as “a being than which no greater can be conceived.” It is then argued to exist is greater than to not exist, and therefore the greatest con-ceivable being must exist. If God did not exist, then God would not be the greatest conceivable being, and that would contradict the very definition of God.

Teleological Argument - states since the universe displays such an amazing de-

sign, there must have been a divine Designer.

Cosmological Argument - every effect must have a cause. This universe and everything in it is an effect. There must be something that caused everything to come into existence. Ulti-mately, there must be some-thing “un-caused” in order to cause everything else to come into existence. That “un-caused” cause is God.

Moral Argument - man’s conscience, moral nature, in-telligence, and mental capaci-ties have to be accounted for in some way. Everyone has a

sense of right and wrong. If this sense of right and wrong did not come from God, where did it come from?

Beloved as believers we know God exists because we commune with Him daily; we sense His leading, guiding and presence in our lives; we know His love, and we desire His grace and mercy. Things have occurred in our lives that have no possible expla-nation other than God. God has miraculously saved us and changed our lives that we cannot help but acknowledge and praise His existence!

congregations that people get information but people that live in the communities around these churches.

"At the end of the day, it’s a broader spectrum of ser-vices to people in Milwau-kee County and even outside

of Milwaukee County who know about this, who may not have insurance or may have inadequate insurance but have been challenged and unfortunately, the black pop-ulation is most affected by the diseases of hypertension, diabetes and cholesterol.”

The expansion of services and casting a wider net of churches coming together to help the community and its members will benefit the entire community. “We know

that people come to our churches – we want to reach the community and to be healthy. We have to take care of the mind, body and soul, the spiritual side of man, too. In order to feed the spirit, their bodies have to be ready to receive. It’s like talking to a hungry man; if he’s hungry, he won’t listen to what you have to say, so you feed him first,” Pastor Levy said.

Overall this project and collaborative effort which

now includes 90-plus church-es plus Columbia St. Mary’s is “about providing a service and a need in our community, our goal is make this a broad, community-wide service for people that really need it,” Bishop McClelland said.

On Sunday, May 19, 2013, the Urban Church Wellness partnership will be providing a “Know Your Numbers” Day at local area churches. Churches that register at the website, www.urbanchurch-

wellness.org, will be offering to participate in hyperten-sion screening during identi-fied time frames throughout the day to congregants and community members.

Lessons from Tuskegee(Continued from pg. 1)

slavemasters. To be free an enslaved people must reject the mental chains and de-pendency that comes with 400 years of captivity and constant efforts to subjugate and destroy.

Those who have kept us as captives and as their property have delighted in keeping us ignorant and have delighted in having us follow their er-rant ways and falsehood.

Anything that challenges their prevailing view and their desire to protect White Privilege and promote White Supremacy is seen as a major threat.

White America seeks to re-duce racism to a simple ques-tion of whether someone is liked or disliked when in fact the problem is the systemic and intentional deprivation of a people based on their skin color and the dominant group reaping benefit based on their skin color.

The question of power and the ability to determine and control reality are hardly ever raised when Whites engage in such discussions. Talk turns to the racial composi-tion of friends or whether the bedroom should be inte-grated, which are truly minor and foolish subjects.

The full and complete free-dom of a people is not mea-sured by the ability to marry the daughter or son of a for-mer enemy but by the ability of a once powerless people to exercise power and choic-es to determine their own destiny.

Proper education is a ma-jor component of the march toward independence. “I am for the acquiring of knowl-edge or the accumulation of knowledge—as we now call it; education,” writes the Most Honorable Elijah Mu-hammad in his monumental book Message to the Black Man, originally published in 1965.

“First, my people must be taught the knowledge of self. Then and only then will they be able to understand oth-ers and that which surrounds them. Anyone who does not have a knowledge of self is considered a victim of either amnesia or unconsciousness and is not very competent. The lack of knowledge of self is a prevailing condition among my people here in America. Gaining the knowl-edge of self makes us unite into a great unity. Knowledge of self makes you take on the great virtue of learning,” he continued.

Followers of the Hon. Eli-jah Muhammad and Min. Farrakhan are not known for reveling in ignorance, nor folly. In the early days of the Nation, those who came un-able to read learned to read and write and shook up the world: Minister Malcolm X was an example of how the knowledge of self is trans-formative. A onetime hustler and criminal became an un-stoppable orator and analyst while armed with the Teach-ings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, a man who only went to the fourth grade in school.

Louis Farrakhan, who at-tended college and did not graduate, met with prime ministers, bankers, college officials and top educators during his recent trip to the Caribbean. With most edu-

cated in the United States, they shared how hearing his words and teaching in Amer-ica impacted their lives and helped propel their success.

It is time that we accept the challenge for ourselves and

our future and the leadership in Tuskegee, in the univer-sity community and broader community, have given us a great example that is worthy of our gratitude, respect and they deserve our support.

What happens if Tuskegee’s response becomes the re-sponse of historically Black colleges and universities across the country?

What’s Happening?

Numerous pastors from City of Milwaukee area Church of God In Christ churches and Baptist churches were at Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital on Saturday, April 20, 2013 to publicly sign a covenant of participation in the Urban Church Wellness program.

A robotics team led by Mil-waukee Public Schools stu-dents is headed to the FIRST Robotics World Champi-onship in St. Louis starting Wednesday, April 17, 2013 after competing against 52 other teams to win the pres-tigious Chairman’s Award at the Midwest Regional in Chi-cago.

MPS-led “Team 1675″ is headed to the FIRST Ro-botics World Championship after wining the Chairman’s Award at FIRST Robotics’ Midwest Regional in Chi-cago.

Team 1675, dubbed “The Ultimate Protection Squad,” includes students from MPS’ Lynde and Harry Brad-ley Technology and Trade School, Rufus King Inter-national School, Milwaukee School of Languages and Washington High School of Information Technology as well as Wisconsin Lutheran High School.

The team won after build-ing and operating a robot called Upollo’s Chariot, capa-ble of shooting round plas-tic discs into the opposing teams’ targets. Robots able to hit the target without a hu-man operator or climb a steep pyramid won extra points. (A video explaining this year’s

competition is available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wa5MGEZNrf0; more about FIRST Robotics is available at http://www.usfirst .org/roboticspro-grams/frc)

The award Team 1675 won – the Chairman’s Award – honors the team that, in the judges’ estimation, best rep-resents a model for other teams to emulate and em-bodies the goals and pur-pose of FIRST, which aims to encourage education and careers in science, technol-ogy, engineering and math (STEM) fields.

“I am so proud to be a part of Team 1675. Winning the Chairman’s Award is an affir-mation of our team’s diver-sity and what we’re doing in STEM Education,” said the team’s lead mentor, Rufus King International School science teacher Paul Jutrzon-ka. “Watching students, men-tors from area businesses, teachers and parents working together as equals is a very rewarding and satisfying ex-perience.”

The team is sponsored by several Wisconsin companies and organizations: including Aluma-Tec, GE Volunteers, Isthmus Engineering, Mil-waukee School of Engineer-

ing, PDQ Tooling, Quad Tech, Rockwell Automation and Stratasys.

MPS Superintendent Gregory Thornton congrat-ulated the students, parents, instructors and sponsors, which he said proudly rep-resent the district’s commit-ment to STEM education. The district is home to one of the nation’s largest con-centrations of students par-ticipating in Project Lead the Way, a rigorous and nation-ally-recognized hands-on STEM education curriculum.

Team members include:

Lynde and Harry Brad-ley Technology and Trade School – Malachi Benitez Trevon Hall, Quangdao Nguyen, Noah Patrick and Isaiah Padgett; Rufus King International School – Sarah Borzon, Cesar Chavez, An-drew Christensen, Quinn Eviston-Jahnke, Tomas Fer-nandez, Khalil Keeter, An-drew Kurth, Julia Lopez, Alexander Lulewicz, Eric Miller, Elise Penn, Sean Salt-ers, Pauline Scharping, An-thony Stano, Kidd Starck Thanhduy Tran, Darius Wil-son and Hemi Wong; Mil-

waukee School of Lan-guages – Erik Sandberg; and Wisconsin Lutheran High School – Robert McInnes.

“My experience with the team has led me to constantly look for new ways to make a lasting impact on the people around me,” says Elise Penn, a Rufus King junior who is in her second year on the team.

Youth inspired to higher education

A group of young women and men involved with pro-grams at the Social Develop-ment Commission (SDC) are on the road to a better future. They recently participated in the annual Youth College Tour.

The eight youth who are mostly high school juniors and sophomores visited col-lege and university campus-es on the six day trip that stopped in Illinois, Tennes-see, Arkansas, Missouri, and Mississippi. There they were able to learn about academic and career opportunities, campus life, and the ins and outs of applying as well as fi-nancial aid.

The young people were excited and inspired by their visits. Several youth imme-

diately started working on college applications when they returned home to the Milwaukee area. Schools visited included Illinois State University, Fisk University, Tennessee State, Lane Col-lege, and the University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff.

The annual tour has moti-vated many youth from SDC to successfully apply for and attend college. They have gone on to earn degrees and start achieving their profes-sional career goals.

THE Talking Health with Dr. Carter By Dr. Lester Carter

Owner, Carter Drug Store

Health & Fitness

Many Americans skipping meds to save money, CDC saysLack of insurance coverage was key factor in patients cutting back on drugs they need

Cash-strapped Americans often skip doses of pricey prescription drugs or take less than was prescribed by their doctor, new research shows.

Not surprising, a lack of insurance coverage was a key factor in whether patients went without needed meds, according to a recent report released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Pre-vention's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).

Skipping medicines can have real consequences for health, the researchers warned.

"Adults who do not take prescription medication as prescribed have been shown to have poorer health status and increased emergency room use, hospitalizations and cardiovascular events," said the team led by Robin Cohen of the NCHS's Divi-sion of Health Interview Sta-tistics.

Last year Americans spent $45 billion out of pocket on prescription drugs, according to the CDC, but Americans continue to seek new ways to lower those costs. Overall, almost 20 percent of Ameri-cans between 18 and 64 years of age asked their doctor for a less expensive medication so they could save money, the new report found, and about the same number of older Americans did the same.

The research also showed that younger adults (between 18 and 64 years of age) were

twice as likely to forego needed medications to save money, compared to adults aged 65 or older.

Uninsured adults were much more likely to try to save money on their pre-scription drugs. The CDC report showed that about 23 percent of uninsured people between 18 and 64 years old without coverage skipped taking their medicine to re-duce costs, compared to about 14 percent of those with Medicaid and around 9 percent with private insur-ance. Those who the agency described as "poor or near poor" were also twice as likely as adults who were not poor not to take medication as prescribed.

Older Americans covered only by Medicare were more likely to seek out less ex-pensive alternatives to their medications as well. The re-port revealed that about one-quarter of people covered by Medicare alone asked their doctor to find them some-thing cheaper, compared to about one-fifth of those with private insurance.

The report also revealed that 6 percent of adults be-tween the ages of 18 and 64 opted for less expensive alternative therapies, com-pared with 2.3 percent of adults aged 65 and older. About one in every 50 Amer-ican adults also purchased their prescription drugs out-side the United States in an attempt to save money.

The researchers compiled the research using data from the 2011 National Health

Interview Survey. The full report was published April 9 on the website of the Na-

tional Center for Health Sta-tistics.

Bee well: Health from the hive (part 1)The "Buzz" about honey

Honey is not just another sweetener. But, how many people know or would even guess that honey can bal-ance blood sugar in indi-viduals with diabetes? This information was revealed to the world by Ron Fessen-den, MD, MPH, and his col-league, Mike Mcinnes, in The Honey Revolution, Restoring the Health of Future Generations. We quote:

"Here are a few of the dif-ferences between honey and refined sugar (table sugar and high fructose corn syrup):

Honey lowers blood glu-cose; lowers HbA1c levels; lowers triglycerides and im-proves HDL; is less likely to cause weight gain than processed sugars; improves spatial memory and reduces anxiety; reduces heart disease markers (thromboxanes); im-proves sleep and fat burning physiology."

It follows that honey en-hances immune function. Also, honey is easier for the kidneys to process than any

other sugar, and it has been used in the treatment of liver and kidney disorders. Ad-ditional uses include respi-ratory and gastrointestinal problems (including sinus-itis and ulcers), weak heart action, infectious diseases, colds, insomnia, poor circu-lation, nerves, bad complex-ion, wounds and bums, hay fever, and as a general tonic.

One could think of honey as totally prana or life energy.

Made by bees as food for bees, honey making begins when the bee sucks nectar from blossoms. It is stored in her honey sac where en-zymes are added. This is de-posited into the comb (made of beeswax, incidentally), where hive temperatures hover at about 95°. The nec-tar is condensed from 40-80 percent water to 18-20 per-cent water. At that point, it is considered "ripe". The bees seal each honey cell with a wax capping. The industrious bees hasten the honey mak-ing process by flapping their wings, as fast as 11,000 times

per second!Not a complete food,

honey is composed of 38 percent fructose, 31 percent glucose, and 10 percent oth-er sugars, along with water, small amounts of vitamins and minerals, enzymes, an-tibiotics, essential oils, and acids. Honey is one of those substances that, like sea wa-ter, cannot be duplicated by humans.

In fact, bee products can only be produced by bees.

Honey is predigested and high in glucose, making it easier to absorb and as-similate. Another important property of glucose is its ability to restore oxygen to the body by replacing the lac-tic acid which builds up in fa-tigued muscle tissue. This in large part explains why hon-ey has been a preferred en-

ergy source for athletes since the original Olympians. To-day, deep sea divers, moun-tain climbers, pilots, and oth-ers under physical stress take honey to overcome fatigue. It is also a superior sweetener for people who are weak or ill.

While vitamins in fresh foods begin to diminish in potency from the time the foods are gathered, in honey they maintain their origi-nal strength. In addition, honey contains a spectrum of minerals, the percent-ages of which are similar to their concentration in hu-man blood. The darker hon-eys contain more minerals and higher alkaline values. And, yes, honey is an alkaline food. The organic acids con-tained in honey are similar to those of fruit. Through our body's chemistry, these pro-duce alkalinity in the system, a chemical reaction which increases the value of honey as a nutritive and therapeutic substance.

Honey is also a natural

antiseptic, antibiotic, and an-tifungal. Honey is sterile and it will not support the growth of bacteria or mold. This antifungal property was dra-matically demonstrated when a vessel of honey discovered in a pyramid at Gizeh still retained its freshness after more than 3500 years.

It follows that honey can be stored without refrigera-tion and will keep for several thousand years at tempera-tures below 500.

With few exceptions, hon-ey granulates at lower tem-peratures. It is easily liquified by setting it in a pan of wa-ter. Raw and unstrained hon-eys are closest to their natural state and most honey users prefer them. For a treat, buy some comb honey and find out why Winnie-the-Pooh is such a confirmed honey lover.

Fourteen things to consider before buying a home (part 1 of 2)Don't let your emotions cloud your judgment

By Diane Benson Harrington

Wait! That house may seem like everything you’ve ever wanted, but before you make an offer, take some time to consider a few things beyond the size, style and price.

When buying a home, it’s easy to let emotions get in the way of reality, or get sud-den amnesia about factors that may make a difference.

"Sometimes we want something so badly, we’re not willing to ask all the ques-tions we should,” says Leslie Levine, author of "Will This Place Ever Feel Like Home?"

For instance, she says, you may see a basketball hoop over the garage and assume the neighborhood is great for kids. But a closer inspection may show that it’s rusted and hasn’t seen a ball in a decade, and that other yards in the neighborhood have no jungle gyms or tire swings out back.1. visit at various times of day

The windows that let in so much light during the day may be a peeping Tom’s dream at night. That seemingly quiet residential street may be a noisy, highway-feeder street during morning or evening rush hour; or it may be near impossible to get from your

quiet street across traffic and onto the feeder street in the morning. The adja-cent school may seem like a nice perk if you’re buying in the summer, but during the school year, daily playground noise and extra traffic may be more than you bargained for.2. Look through recent newspaper archives

“Make sure you’re getting information on what you can’t see,” Levine suggests. Perhaps the municipal water well that feeds your neigh-borhood has high levels of contaminants or a proposed high-voltage power line may soon be coming through your back yard. You can also check with the city or county to see if there are any pro-posed projects.3. Talk to neighbors

How many people in the neighborhood own their homes? Sometimes it’s hard to tell at first if you’re choos-ing a neighborhood that’s primarily rental houses.4. Ask if the neighborhood has an association

“Is there a newsletter for it? How often does the neighborhood get together? Do they have a block party every year?” Levine asks. “Even if you don’t plan to attend, the fact that they’re

having a gathering says they care about their commu-nity, that they want to get to know each other, that they’re willing to socialize that way. People who behave that way are building a community. They’re going to look out for your kids; they’re going to look out for your house. It’s

a nice, safe way to celebrate something.”5. Quiz the sellers

What problems are they aware of that the house had in the past – even if they’ve been fixed? An ice dam five years ago may have caused water damage that has since been repaired. But it’s good

to know that the house may be prone to ice dams so you can take preventive measures rather than find out the hard way. Discovering the base-ment flooding was solved by building up the landscaping in a particular area will pre-vent you from leveling the ground there in later years.6. Get a home inspection

Virtually all houses have defects, according to Nation-al Association of Exclusive Buyers Agents. Some will be obvious and most will be curable. But knowing what needs fixing can help you negotiate a lower price – or at least prepare you for costs you’re soon to incur. Strongly consider getting inspections, too, for lead paint, radon and wood-eating pests.7. Get detailed records on past improvements

This isn’t always possible. But if you’re told the house’s exterior was painted two years ago – and then see a re-ceipt noting the whole proj-ect cost just $1,000 – then you’ll be forewarned that cheaper materials were used and that you may be looking at repainting sooner than you thought.

education programs

How financially literate are you?I'm not sure whether it was

intentional or merely a co-incidence that several years ago Congress proclaimed April to be Financial Lit-eracy Month. April is also the month when millions of Americans grimly write a check to the IRS and resolve to do a better job manag-ing their money; and when millions of others squander their tax refund without re-alizing why receiving overly large refunds isn't sound fi-nancial management.

In recognition of 2013's Financial Literacy Month, the National Foundation of Credit Counseling just released the results of its seventh annual Consumer Financial Literacy Survey, which tracks Americans' at-titudes and behaviors related to personal finance.

NFCC spokesperson Gail Cunningham said, "On a positive note, by certain measures a large percentage of Americans do feel they're getting a better handle on controlling their finances," she said. "On the downside, however, many people give

themselves poor grades on their knowledge of person-al finance, and worry that they're not saving enough for a rainy day – or for retire-ment."

Here are some of the sur-vey's key findings:

• 40 percent of adults have a budget and closely track their spending. In other words, 60 percent don't use a budget.

• Only 32 percent of those polled spend less on living expenses now than they did last year – a steady decline

since 2009's 59 percent level. At the same time, 27 percent said they now spend more than they did a year ago.

• About 71 percent pay all bills on time and have no debts in collection – a 7 percent improvement from 2012. Similarly, the percent-age of adults who do not pay all bills on time has de-creased, from 33 percent in 2012 to 26 percent in 2013.

• 37 percent carry credit card debt from month to month – a 7 percent decrease since the question was first

asked in 2009.• Insufficient savings tops

the list of financial worries, with 43 percent most worried that they don't have enough emergency savings, and 38 percent worried they'll retire with inadequate savings. In fact, a whopping 31 percent say they currently save noth-ing for retirement.

When asked where they learned the most about per-sonal finance, the largest number (33 percent) said from their parents; yet 78 percent agree that they could benefit from advice and an-swers to everyday financial questions from a profes-sional.

To me, perhaps the most telling statistic is that 40 percent of adults give them-selves only a grade of C, D or F on their knowledge of personal finance. Should we be worried because that many people with a poor-to-middling understanding of money management are like-ly to be the major influence on their children's financial habits? I think so.

"Fortunately, many finan-

cial education tools are avail-able for people of all ages," noted Cunningham. "The challenge is making people aware of them and encour-aging them to seek help when they need it."

Helpful financial education sites include:

• MyMoney.gov (www.mymoney.gov), the govern-ment's website dedicated to teaching Americans the ba-sics about financial educa-tion.

• The NFCC (www.nfcc.org), featuring information on obtaining free or low-cost help from trained, certified credit counselors.

• Practical Money Skills for Life (www.pmsfl.com), a free personal financial manage-ment program run by Visa Inc., that includes saving and budgeting tips, and interac-tive video games like Finan-cial Football that engage stu-dents while teaching them money-management skills.

Don't let another April pass without taking steps to improve your financial liter-acy – and that of your kids.

FAMILY FEATURES

Starting the day right with a good breakfast helps set thetone for your day. In fact, studies show that kids who eat breakfast have better scores on math, reading andstandardized tests; are better able to pay attention; and

have fewer absences and incidences of tardiness, compared tobreakfast skippers.

But is your breakfast the best it can be? Experts recommend 20 to 30 grams of protein at each meal, and

while breakfast is typically lower in protein than other meals, it’s a particularly important time to include protein in your diet — tohelp you get the right start to your day.

In fact, when you have your protein can be just as important ashow much you have, and research suggests that spreading proteinintake throughout the day — rather than just at lunch or dinner —can optimize how your body uses it, and that means making sureyou include enough protein at breakfast.

A protein-packed breakfast can also help you feel “healthy full”so you stave off mid-morning cravings and can stick to healthiereating throughout the day.

Help your whole family start the day right and include protein in your nutritious breakfast. Try these tips to maximize protein inthe AM:

n Make your morning oatmeal with milk instead of water. Topwith almonds for extra protein, too.

n Include a glass of milk with your morning meal. An 8-ounceglass of milk has 8 grams of quality protein.

n Make your own smoothie and choose your favorite frozen fruit.n Grab a latte, instead of black coffee, and pair it with peanut

butter toast and some fruit for a balanced meal. n Whip up a bowl of cottage cheese topped with fruit and honey.n Create a breakfast BLT with a whole grain muffin, lean turkey

bacon and lettuce and tomato.Find more ways to give your morning a boost with recipes at
