Farmers in Wisconsin, Illinois and Minnesota play an integral role within Roundy’s in delivering fresh and locally sourced produce throughout the Midwest. On Thursday, January 22, 2015, to celebrate its 2014 achieve-ments, Roundy’s invited a number of the farmers that bring fresh fruits and vegetables to their stores at the Italian Conference Center. Ben Brancel, Secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) was in attendance, as was Roundy’s chairman, president and CEO Robert Mariano. Highlights of the event included Steve Jar-zombek, Vice President of Produce Merchandising for Roundy’s who recognized selected farmers for their ex-cellent work in 2014; a cocktail hour, and dinner featur-ing produce from many of the local farmers honored at the event.

Walgreens and the Milwaukee Common Council are teaming up with the Alzheimer’s Association on a new proclamation that will provide greater awareness of Al-zheimer’s disease within the community. Walgreens is supporting the effort via information provided at 112 Walgreens drugstores in 11 Southeastern Wisconsin counties. The Alzheimer’s Association wants to em-power every dementia caregiver with the tools they need to learn, cope, and survive, all free-of-charge, and how the Milwaukee Common Council is supporting this ef-fort. The mission of this newly launched initiative is to connect family caregivers of people with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia to the education and re-sources they need to deal with the stress of caregiving so they can remain healthy and productive members of their families, society, and workplace.

On January 23, 2014 Con-gresswoman Gwen Moore (WI-04) was selected to serve as the ranking member on the House Monetary Policy and Trade Subcommittee. The Subcommittee oversees do-mestic monetary policy and related agencies, as well as multilateral development and finance organizations such as the World Bank and the In-ternational Monetary Fund. Congresswoman Moore was also selected to serve on the Subcommittee on Housing and Insurance, responsible for overseeing federal insur-ance regulation, the Depart-ment of Housing and Urban Development, and the Gov-ernment National Mortgage Association.

The Congresswoman re-leased the following state-ment:

"I take great pride and hon-or in assuming my new role as ranking member on the Mone-tary Policy and Trade Subcom-mittee. I am deeply appreciative to have the trust and confidence

of my congressional colleagues as I undertake this great re-sponsibility.

"As our country continues to rebound from the financial crisis, it is critical that we maximize on our current economic momen-tum in a fashion that further fosters commercial growth and supports job creation. Accord-ingly, as ranking member, one of the most effective ways to pursue this objective is through

our continued support of the Export-Import Bank and the billions of dollars in economic activity it drives each year. As America’s official export credit agency, this vital institution strengthens our global economic standing by financing U.S. exports in circumstances where alternative, private financing is unavailable.

"In my new role as rank-ing member, I’d like to continue pursuing these national priori-ties, while also focusing on our capacity to address pressing global concerns through econom-ic development and trade. Tack-ling difficult issues like universal access to education, health care, and financing calls for strong global partners, sound policy recommendations, and a stable international financial system. In that spirit, I look forward to working with stakeholders like the World Bank and the Inter-national Monetary Fund in our shared goal to make this world a more prosperous place for all global citizens."

SDC offers free tax preparationIncome-qualified families are eligible for free services

The Social Development Commission announced today that it is offering FREE tax preparation ser-vices at all three of its sites, to households earning less than $56,000 annually. The Volunteer Income Tax As-sistance (VITA) program is available to Milwaukee Coun-ty residents from January 20 through April 15, 2015, at SDC’s Chase Avenue, Rich-ards Street and Teutonia Av-enue sites. All sites can pre-pare a limited number of tax returns each day, so services are available on a first come, first serve basis.

“We are pleased to be the lead agency for these im-portant tax preparation ser-vices,” said George Hinton, Chief Executive Officer of SDC. “One of SDC’s over-arching goals is to help move people out of poverty and tax returns are just one strat-egy to facilitate that. The IRS estimates that one out of five individuals that qualify for unearned income tax credits don’t claim them or other de-ductions such as Homestead Credit. We want to assist our community and, in the pro-cess of helping them prepare taxes, help ensure they re-ceive monies due them.”

In addition to providing free tax preparation, all of the SDC tax preparation are ‘super sites,’ which means that other services are also available. Health insurance enrollment and public ben-

efits applications and renew-als assistance is available by certified staff from health center partners. Financial institutions are also on site at SDC Super Sites to give clients the opportunity to open bank accounts and ob-tain other financial and asset building opportunities.

The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program is a project of the Milwau-kee Asset Building Coalition (MABC). VITA assists low-income Milwaukee County residents achieve financial independence through edu-cation, planning and income development. The Social Development Commission is the lead agency for MABC.

When filing joint tax re-turns, both individuals must be present, and valid picture IDs are required. For a list of other items to bring, go to www.cr-sdc.org or call (414)963-2694.

On Monday, February 9, 2015, a day before the Milwaukee Common was sched-uled to vote on the streetcar project being proposed for downtown Milwaukee and the city's east side, a contingent of local business leaders declared their support for the $124 million project publicly during a press conference held at the Manpower headquarters in downtown Milwaukee. Members of the coali-tion included Linda Gorens-Levey, managing partner of Stark Investments; Greg Wesley, partner at Gonzalez Saggio & Harlan; Jorge Franco, president of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Wisconsin; and Greg Marcus, president of the Marcus Corp. “We support the proposed streetcar because it makes economic sense as part of a larger growth strategy for Milwaukee that is already generating billions of new development and thousands of jobs for our community, said Jeff Joerres, executive director of Manpower Group. The project was approved by the Council on a 9-6 vote. Voting in favor of the mea-sure were Aldermen Ashanti Hamilton, Bob Bauman, Willie Wade, Jose Perez, Russell Stamper, Common Council President Michael Murphy, Nik Kovac, Terry Witkowski and Milele Coggs. Anxious to see the project move forward, Mayor Tom Barrett signed the legislation during an afternoon press confer-ence. Opponents of the project are collecting signatures to force a referendum on the streetcar proposal.

Every two years, the gover-nor of the State of Wiscon-sin delivers a budget address. This address is important be-cause it defines the funding priorities for Wisconsin. It’s a symbol of what the gover-nor feels is important to keep Wisconsin moving forward.

Wisconsin educators were paying close attention for any hints of what might be contained in Governor Scott Walker’s budget. In order to sustain the basic quality of education in the state, edu-cators knew they needed a funding increase that at least kept up with the rate of infla-tion. When the cost to edu-cate students rises faster than funding, schools are forced to make difficult choices that may be unsustainable.

Earlier this month, Wis-consin Governor Scott

Walker unveiled his pro-posed 2016-17 biennial bud-get to a joint session of the Wisconsin Legislature. The $68.2 billion budget contains details on Governor Walker’s priorities for the next two years.

As the time for the release of the Governor’s budget drew closer, the rumor be-gan to leak out that funding would be flat and districts be-gan to look at what options would do the least harm to the classroom. When Gov-ernor Walker unveiled his proposed budget earlier this month, school districts around the state were sur-prised. Not only was there no increase to keep up with inflation, per-pupil fund-ing was actually cut by $150 per student in every school district in Wisconsin. The proposed cuts total $127 mil-lion. This budget has school districts from across the state concerned about the impact this budget has on students.

The impact for Milwaukee Public Schools is an outright cut of $12.1 million in aid for the 2015-16 school year. In addition, due to increasing costs associated with edu-

cating students, the district’s cost to continue budget was already projected to be $11 million short. As we build the MPS budget, we’ll make every effort to keep the im-pact of the Governor’s bud-get cuts as far from the class-room as possible.

The governor’s budget also proposes ending the popular Chapter 220 program which has successfully promoted integration for more than 20 years in a metropolitan area that is one of the most seg-regated in the entire country. Chapter 220 allows white suburban students to enroll in MPS and minority stu-dents from MPS to attend suburban schools. Details of

how the Chapter 220 pro-gram would end are unclear.

Governor Walker’s pro-posed budget also removes local control from all 424 public school districts in Wisconsin by establishing a statewide charter school au-thorization board. This by-passes locally elected school boards and the citizens who elected them.

The Governor did propose spending additional resourc-es in one area of education – removing the enrollment cap statewide on the vouch-er program. His plan would force public school districts statewide to pay for the ex-pansion by reducing general state aid to public schools, which takes even more dol-lars out of public school classrooms.

If you are concerned about the budget, call the Wiscon-sin Legislative Hotline at 1-800-362-9472. Let your representatives know public schools need the financial tools to be successful for all students.

Black history mockeryOnce again it is Black His-

tory Month. The I Have a Dream speech will be heard once or twice. Many Ameri-cans will rush to see Selma to acknowledge the struggle blacks went through in this country. There are even peo-ple who will walk the paths of the Civil Rights marches. All of these things are won-derful; but what results have come from the existence of Black History Month?

For 28 days of each year it is okay for black people to study their history. More radical thinking people have always complained that Black History Month was the shortest month. This may be a result of the fact that it seems as if African Ameri-cans have a short memory. That concept is for another article. Today we’re talking about the results gained over the years from Black History Month. Any results from Black History Month over the last two decades are bor-derline pathetic.

The whole concept of Black History Month is a farce. Any race of people worth their salt doesn’t need a month to celebrate who they are or where they came from. Most thinking races already live and learn from their past every day to propel

them into the future. The African American seems ashamed to even think about their history. The only rea-son many African Ameri-cans acknowledge Black His-tory Month is because it was deemed okay by society. If the month concept did not have government approval it would not exist.

The results of having Black History Month have been an abject failure. Many will say that this is a harsh judgment but it’s reality. What has been accomplished for advance-ment of the African Ameri-can community? Nothing. Many people will balk at this assessment but the results tell the story.

The African American community is in a sham-bles. The males don’t know they're men. The females think they're men, physically and mentally. The children are becoming public menac-es and harlots. But African Americans have their hal-lowed 28 days of history. To use a texting phrase: LOL.

The African American male is so far gone there isn’t enough space in the Milwau-kee Times to detail. The loss of manhood hundreds of years ago has ensured the feminization of the Afri-can American male. This is

much more than a physical act, it's mental. The loss of the ability to think like a man has cost the African Ameri-can male dearly. The direct result of this is the loss of status in society and the Af-rican American female mind.

The African American fe-male is gone, just not as far as the male. There is one word that summarizes how insane the African American female has gone: weave. Weave is that magic substance that has the majority of females in the African American communi-ty with hair down their backs. Weave, wigs, lace front all equal fake. If your concept of beauty and womanhood ties to something fake then what more can be said?

There is no need to bela-bor the point talking about the African American child. What kind of offspring can be expected from neutered men and women whose scalps never breathe? Ex-actly. The degradation of the African American has reached an all time high. In the last two decades Af-rican Americans have be-come something many of the scholars celebrated in the month wouldn’t recognize. Can you imagine Martin Lu-ther King, Jr., walking into a public school or watching

television? Frank James IV © [email protected] The opinions expressed in this editorial are those of the writer and not of the

Black Lives MatterBy publicly hanging a 'Black

Lives Matter' banner on their historic church, the First Unitarian Society of Mil-waukee is affirming the im-portance of this movement to inspire systemic change. Interim Senior Minister Elaine Peresluha and Associ-ate Minister Dena McPhetres are adding their voices to the outraged in their blog posts about the Black Lives Matter movement. They are engag-ing the members of the First Unitarian Church in conver-sation, as well.

The Rev. Peresluha states, “Why must we join the con-versation, as a church with a majority white membership? Because a dominant white culture holds the power to define reality, the engagement and support of white Ameri-cans is essential to change the current reality. This na-tion—and Milwaukee in par-ticular as a place suffering so

greatly from social inequality and injustices—needs strong intercultural alliances engag-ing in social action, challeng-ing the system to transform. Bringing different voices to-gether to inspire change re-quires honesty, vulnerability, and the commitment to keep showing up in order to build true community.”

Americans have seen and witnessed just this past year the resurgence of peaceful protests and marches after the deaths of unarmed Afri-can Americans at the hands of law enforcement. Ameri-cans have taken to the streets to stand up for the cause of injustice everywhere. Fifty-two years ago the famous March on Washington took place on August 28, 1963. The March on Washington was the largest demonstra-tion ever seen in the nation’s capital and one of the first to have extensive cover-age by the major television stations at the time. What spurred the March on Wash-ington in 1963 was the racial unrest and the nationwide outrage sparked by media coverage of police actions in Birmingham, Alabama where attack dogs and fire hoses were used to turn back protestors, many of whom were in their early teens or younger. Dr. Martin Luther

King, Jr., was arrested and jailed during these protests in Birmingham where he wrote his famous “Letter From Birmingham City Jail,” which advocated for civil disobedi-ence against unjust laws.The Coalition

The March on Washington represented a coalition of several civil rights organiza-tions, all of which generally had different approaches and different agendas. The “Big Six” organizers were James

Farmer, of the Congress of Racial Equality (“CORE”); Martin Luther King, Jr., of the Southern Christian Lead-ership Conference (“SCLC”); John Lewis, of the Student Nonviolent Coordinat-ing Committee (“SNCC”); A. Philip Randolph, of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters; Roy Wilkins, of the National Association for the Advancement of Col-ored People (“NAACP”); and Whitney Young, Jr., of

the National Urban League. The stated demands of the March were the passage of meaningful civil rights leg-islation; the elimination of racial segregation in public schools; protection for dem-onstrators against police bru-tality; a major public-works program to provide jobs; the passage of a law prohibiting racial discrimination in pub-lic and private hiring; a $2 an hour minimum wage; and self-government for the Dis-trict of Columbia, which had a black majority.The March on Washington

Nobody was sure how many people would turn up for the demonstration in Washington, D.C. Some trav-elling from the South were harassed and threatened. But on August 28, 1963, an esti-mated quarter of a million people—about a quarter of whom were white—marched from the Washington Monu-ment to the Lincoln Memo-rial, in what turned out to be

both a protest and a commu-nal celebration. The heavy police presence turned out to be unnecessary, as the March was noted for its civility and peacefulness. The March was extensively covered by the media, with live internation-al television coverage. The event included musical per-formances by Marian Ander-son, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Mahalia Jackson, Peter, Paul and Mary, and Josh White. Charlton Heston, represent-ing a contingent of artists including Harry Belafonte, Marion Brando, Diahann Carroll, Ossie Davis, Sammy Davis, Jr., Lena Horne, Paul Newman and Sidney Poitier, read a speech by James Bald-win. The speakers included all of the "Big Six" civil-rights leaders (James Farm-er, who was imprisoned in Louisiana at the time, had his speech read by Floyd McK-issick); Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish religious leaders; and labor leader Walter Re-uther. The one female speak-er was Josephine Baker, who introduced several "Negro Women Fighters for Free-dom," including Rosa Parks.*

Concordia University offers high school students one year of college cost-free The Concordia Promise dual credit program aims to start to solve the student debt crisis

With a mission to provide access and opportunity to the “highest-value Lutheran Christian higher education possible,” Concordia Uni-versity announced the Con-cordia Promise dual credit (early college start) initiative. The Concordia Promise of-fers high school students the unprecedented opportunity to complete one year of a liberal arts undergraduate degree cost-free. Program in-formation is available online at http://concordiapromise.com/.

According to data released in November 2014 by the In-stitute for College Access and Success, seven in 10 graduat-ing seniors at public and pri-vate nonprofit colleges had student loans in 2013, with an average debt burden of $28,400. While the Wiscon-sin Association of Indepen-dent Colleges and Universi-ties (WAICU) reported that out-of-pocket net tuition at Wisconsin’s private, non-profit institutions was under $5,500, increasing costs for higher education has led to staggering levels of lifelong debt for more and more stu-dents and their families.

The Concordia Promise helps solve this crisis. Under the program, enrolled stu-dents pay a reduced tuition cost of $50 per credit hour. Students are then eligible to participate in the Concordia Promise Plus, a scholarship in the amount paid for the dual credit courses that is applied toward their under-graduate tuition if students choose to attend Concordia University Wisconsin or Ann

Arbor. “At our core, we are dedi-

cated to ensure that a lifelong Christ-centered education is within the reach of more and more students,” shares Con-cordia’s President, the Rev. Dr. Patrick T. Ferry. “The Concordia Promise pays forward to a student’s un-dergraduate experience, and makes an excellent Concor-dia education an opportunity that is more affordable, more accessible, and ultimately, more valuable.”

"Our first focus is to pre-pare students for a lifetime of success,” shares Dave Burgess, executive direc-tor of Racine High School. “The Concordia Promise dual credit program provides a remarkable advantage, aca-demically and financially, for students to pursue their fu-ture goals, while completing their high school diploma."

In the spring semester of 2015, the Concordia Prom-ise is being made available exclusively to Lutheran and Christian high schools and homeschool families nation-wide. Plans to expand the program to private and area public high schools are un-der discussion. “We are liv-ing in a time of exceptional disruption in higher educa-tion,” adds Dr. Bernard Bull, assistant vice president of Academics who oversees Concordia’s Office of Con-tinuing and Distance Educa-tion, where the program is housed. “This crisis calls us, as a Christian institution, to step up and lead the innova-tion of better solutions to meet the challenges we face.

The Concordia Promise is one way that we can make a significant impact for stu-dents.”

For more information on this program, contact Con-cordia’s Dual Credit Coor-dinator, Kathryn Baganz, at

[email protected] or 262-243-2077.

High school students from six Milwaukee Public high schools visited Morgandale School on Thursday, Feb. 5, 2015 to speak with seventh and eighth graders about what they need to do to start preparing for their high school experiences.

Students from Bay View, MacDowell, Pulaski, Reagan, Rufus King and South Divi-sion high schools shared in-sights and ideas of what it is like to be a high school stu-dent.

The high school students stressed the importance of time management, organi-zation, study habits and not letting friends influence your decisions.

“My students really didn’t

believe me or other adults when we talked to them about high school,” said Morgandale Principal Tina Flood. “When these high schoolers gave them straight talk, they listened."

Principal Flood said the event was a success and helped Morgandale students see the variety of excellent high school options in Mil-waukee Public Schools, espe-cially during the three-choice enrollment period.

Milwaukee Public Schools’ Three-Choice enrollment pe-riod is open through Friday, Feb. 20. Families still looking for the right school for their child can use the new ‘Find A School’ function on the dis-trict’s website to see schools

near them, with the grade level they’re seeking and with the programs they want for

their children. The site con-tains information about all the academic, extracurricular

and athletic opportunities at each and every MPS school.

Disneyland measles outbreak highlights the importance of vaccines

Viruses flourish in high-density areas and vacation spots where large numbers of visitors come together, bringing their unique colo-nies of pathogens. So it shouldn't be particularly surprising that an outbreak of measles has been tracked back to December visits to Disneyland in Orange Coun-ty, CA.

A total of 17 confirmed cases of measles originated

with visits to the theme park, confirmed the California De-partment of Public Health.

Measles is highly conta-gious. The virus lives in the nose and throat mucus of an infected person and can be airborne, which means the virus can be coughed or sneezed into the air and land on someone else, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. To make matters worse, measles

can live for up to two hours on surfaces or in the air af-ter being sneezed or coughed out, and people can transmit the disease up to four days before and four days after developing the signature measles rash.

According to a CDC ex-plainer, 90 percent of the unvaccinated people who come into contact with an infected person will also de-velop measles.

The best way to avoid get-ting the measles is to get two doses of a vaccine with the measles virus in it -- com-monly known as the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine. Unfortunately, re-cent school inoculation reports indicate that vac-cination rates among many children dropped substan-tially between 2007 and 2014, due to a number of factors that include discredited fears that the shots can cause au-tism.

That's not just bad news for the individual children who opt out, it's also prob-lematic for the community, as demonstrated by the unre-lated Disneyland visitors and workers affected: Vaccina-tion protects those who are too young or ill to get vac-cinated. For instance, six of the measles patients that the CDPH confirmed were un-vaccinated, but two of them were too young to receive the shots.

Dropping vaccination rates, in addition to a global-

ized population with ties to parts of the world that have not yet defeated measles, have contributed to the most measles cases -- 610 patients in 2014 -- that the U.S. has seen in about 20 years, de-spite the fact that America technically “defeated” the disease in 2000.

“Not since 1994 have we seen this many measles cas-es [in the U.S.], explained Emory University School of Medicine infectious disease expert Walter Orenstein in a previous interview with The Huffington Post. “To me this is a warning sign that we need to get on the offensive against measles.”

To Orenstein, who is also a spokesperson for the Nation-al Foundation for Infectious Diseases, the fight against measles is two pronged: do-mestically, more parents need to get their children properly vaccinated. Internationally, developing countries need help getting the virus under control.

Tina's PlaceA Ministry of Saint Gabriel's

Church of God in ChristTina's Place is a grief support ministry that fo-

cuses on providing coping skills to children ages 5-12 who have experienced the death of a parent through violence. This type of loss often affects the spiritual, emotional, mental and behavioral

stability of children. Our program strives to help children express their grief with others who are

also enduring a loss through peer support, art and play therapy, grief counseling and special events.

There will be no cost to the participants.

Charlie Sifford dies at 92; 'Jackie Robinson of golf' braved death threats In one of golfer Char-

lie Sifford's first events as a member of the profession-al tour, he was heckled by white spectators — one even kicked his ball off the fair-way and covered it with beer cans — in his home state of North Carolina.

That night, an anony-mous caller advised him not to show up for the second round.

"Whatever you're going to do," Sifford replied on that night in 1961, "you'd bet-ter be ready at 9:20. Because that's when I'm going to be out there on the first tee."

Golf was more than a game for Sifford, who, at age 39, became the first black player to earn a Professional Golfers Assn. of America membership card. His de-termination to climb over the whites-only wall that sur-rounded professional golf at the time — an effort set in motion by an insistent Cali-fornia attorney general — helped clear the way for gen-erations of minority players.

On Tuesday, Febuary 3, 2015, Sifford died in Cleve-land at 92 after a recent stroke. President Obama praised Sifford, saying he had faced "indignity and injustice even as he faced the compe-tition" and helped to alter "the course of the sport and the country he loved."

Known as much for his short swing as his short an-swers to interviewers' ques-tions, the cigar-chomping

Sifford was commonly re-ferred to as "the Jackie Rob-inson of golf," an appellation he viewed with a jaundiced eye.

"If I was the Jackie Robin-son of golf, I sure didn't do a very good job of it," he often said. "Jackie was followed by a hundred great black ball-players. I was followed by no one."

While Sifford opened the door, the number of African American golfers who fol-lowed was, as he suggested, relatively small. The most famous, Tiger Woods, on Wednesday called Sifford "the grandpa I never had."

But Sifford also paved the way for other minority golf-ers, who now include tour stars Vijay Singh of Fiji and South Korean K.J. Choi.

"Without Charlie Sifford, there would have been no one to fight the system," Lee Elder, the first African Amer-ican to play in the Masters in 1975, said in an interview lat-er with the New York Times. "It took a special person to take the things he took — the tournaments that barred him, the black cats in his bed, the hotels where he couldn't stay, the country club grills where he couldn't eat."

Which was precisely what he needed to be, for what he couldn't do with his talent, he did with his gumption, finally getting his tour card at 39, well past any athlete's prime age. Even so, he won twice on the PGA Tour —

one of those victories was at the 1969 Los Angeles Open at Rancho Park Golf Course — twice on the senior tour, consistently finished seasons among the 60 top money winners, was the first black player enshrined in the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2004 at St. Augustine, FL, and in 2008 was honored as that year's Ambassador of Golf. In 2014, he was a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor bestowed by the na-tion.

It wasn't so complicated at the beginning. Born in Char-lotte, N.C., on June 2, 1922, Sifford was working as a cad-die at the Carolina Country Club, out-earning his father at 60 cents a day, when he was 10, and playing the course on Mondays, when the club was closed to members, or when-ever he could sneak in a few holes on other days.

Hence, his short swing: "I was always moving fast to keep from being thrown off the course. I never learned

how to take my time ... and develop a decent stroke."

Still, he was shooting par golf — and smoking cigars — by the time he was 13. At 17, Sifford was taken aside by Carolina Club owner Sutton Alexander, who told him it would probably be best if he stayed away from the club.

"I had gotten too good and the members didn't like it," Sifford told the Atlanta Con-stitution. "Mr. Alexander was concerned about my physical well-being."

So Sifford headed north to Philadelphia, where he had relatives, and spent the next four years working in a bis-cuit bakery and hustling golf at Cobbs Creek, a public course open to black players. Then it was off to the Army for service in the Pacific — he fought on Okinawa — during World War II, and when the 26-year-old Sifford returned to the States, it was with the firm desire to be-come a pro golfer.

In 1943, however, while Sifford was serving his coun-

try, the PGA of America, which ran the pro golf tour at the time, had inserted a "Caucasians only from North or South America" clause into its rules for mem-bership. Thus, when Sifford applied, he was denied on the grounds that he wasn't Cau-casian. And when he tried to enter PGA-sponsored tour-naments, he was denied be-cause he wasn't a member.

Sifford was determined, though, and kept picking away. He played — and won six national titles — on a circuit set up by other black golfers, and spent several years as a personal coach and assistant to singer-bandlead-er Billy Eckstine, playing wherever and whenever he could in the few PGA events that accepted non-whites.

"I went to Jackie [Rob-inson] and told him what I wanted to do," Sifford often recalled. "He asked me if I was a quitter. I told him I wasn't a quitter and he told me to go ahead and take the challenge."

And it was a challenge. In 1952, playing in the Phoe-nix Open on an invitation obtained through former heavyweight boxing champi-on Joe Louis, Sifford, Louis and their all-black foursome arrived at the green on the first hole and found the cup filled with human excrement. They had to wait an hour for the cup to be replaced.

Charlie Sifford(Continued from pg. 15)

At another tournament, again playing on an invita-tion, Sifford made a hole in one, which, it had been advertised, brought with it a new car and a cash prize. Somehow, though, the offer had been withdrawn, it was determined, just before Sif-ford teed off.

And always, there were hecklers yelling racial in-sults, kicking his ball into the rough, shouting death threats. Sifford ignored them as best he could, and played the best he could.

In 1955, at the Canadian Open, one of those tourna-ments that welcomed non-whites, Sifford led the first round after shooting a 63. That put him a stroke ahead of Arnold Palmer. Palmer went on to win, but Sifford showed in that tournament that he could play with the best.

In 1957, he won the Long Beach Open, and although it was not a tour event, it was co-sponsored by the PGA of America and included a number of name white pros.

Finally, in 1960, the PGA gave in and issued Sifford an "approved player" card. It wasn't membership, but it allowed him to play in what-ever tour events he could qualify for. And then, in 1961, under a threat by Stan-ley Mosk, then California at-torney general and later state Supreme Court justice, to bar the tour from the state, the PGA caved in all the way, removing the "Caucasians only" clause from member-

ship requirement.Sifford is often credited

with having been the first African American to win on the tour, but it didn't hap-pen that way. Pete Brown, who took advantage of Sif-ford's pioneering and joined the tour when the offending clause was removed, beat Sif-ford to the punch, winning the 1964 Waco Turner Open in Burneyville, OK. Sifford broke through three years later in Connecticut, winning the 1967 Greater Hartford Open. He was 45.

"Charlie birdied, not talk-ed, his way through social prejudice," Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Jim Mur-ray wrote in The Times in 1969. "He broke barriers by breaking par. His weapon was a 9-iron, not a micro-phone. Charlie stands as a social pioneer not because he could play politics, but because he could play golf."

In 2009, 40 years after Sif-ford won the L.A. Open, the tournament organizers established in his honor a sponsor's exemption for a minority golfer who other-wise would not have been eligible to play in the event.

On Wednesday, Tiger Woods credited Sifford for the opportunity to chase a career that now includes 79 PGA Tour wins and 14 ma-jor championships.

Without Sifford, Woods said, "I probably wouldn't be here. My dad would never have picked up the game. Who knows if the clause would still exist or not? But he broke it down."

Sifford was preceded in death by Rose, his wife of 51 years. Among his survivors are sons Charles Jr. and Craig and three grandchildren.
