At the first Conference of Independent African States on April 15, 1958, African Freedom Day was founded, a day to “mark each year the onward progress of the lib-eration movement, and to symbolize the determination of the People of Africa to free themselves from foreign domination and exploita-tion.”
On May 25, 1963, lead-ers of independent African countries met to form the Organization of African Unity (OAU), to change the date of African Free-dom Day to May 25, and to change the name from Afri-can Freedom Day to African Liberation Day (ALD).
Today, we recognize the critical importance of our hone land, Africa, to our liberation as a people. The salvation and survival of Af-rican people depend on it. Without a land to call their
own, no people have ever gained true independence. Africa belongs to all of the scattered and balkanized children of Africa. No mat-ter where we happen to be born or live, a united Africa whose wealth will be used for all people of African de-scent is the only way to guar-antee true liberation. With the wealth—and the power that wealth brings—standing squarely behind them, all Af-rican people throughout the world will have a new reality
and a new image: one of a powerful, beautiful, intelli-gent people. This objective is called Pan-Africanism: the liberation and unification of Africa under a socialist eco-nomic system!
We call on all people of Af-rican descent to commemo-rate this day and recom-mit ourselves to this critical objective flowing from the minds of those who blazed this path of struggle. We call on all people, regardless of their national origins, to support this righteous goal of African people just as we support the right of all op-pressed people to determine their own destiny by control-ling their land.
See you at African Libera-tion Day, May 25, 2013 at the Wisconsin African American Women’s Center, 3020 W. Vliet St, Milwaukee, WI from noon-3 pm.

King International School(Continued from pg. 1)
The ACT College and Ca-reer Readiness Campaign began with six states — Ala-bama, Illinois, Iowa, Ken-tucky, North Carolina, and Wisconsin — to celebrate achievement and create awareness for the goal of college and career readiness for all students. Each state could have four nominees: a student, school, commu-nity or technical college, and employer. Just four national awards, one in each area, were given in this first year of the program.
Rufus King International School received the ACT College and Career Transi-tion Award. An International Baccalaureate (IB) school since 1979, Rufus King has created a college-bound at-mosphere for its ethnically
and socio-economically di-verse student population. The rigorous IB curriculum prepares students for the next steps in their educational and life journey. The school uses quarterly assessments to monitor student growth, of-fers career exploration and college search support, and requires community service for all students.
Sargento Foods Inc. re-ceived the Workplace Suc-cess Award. The company has been linking the majority of its positions to the ACT National Career Readiness Certificate so it can use the system to aid in the employ-ment process. Sargento has formed partnerships with Plymouth High School and Lakeshore Technical Col-lege to ensure students gain real-world experiences in the cheese packaging industry. An active community partici-pant, the company supports numerous charitable groups directly and through its em-ployees’ service efforts.
Obama to Morehouse Class of 2013: 'You come from a long line of strong black men'
President Barack Obama delivered the commence-ment address to the More-house Class of 2013 saying: "You hail from a lineage and legacy of immeasurable men– men who bore tremen-dous burdens and still laid the stone for the path on which we walk." And he went on to explain the relationship the men from the country's only all-male black liberal arts col-lege have with previous gen-erations of black men.
"You wear the mantle of Frederick Douglass, Book-er T. Washington, Ralph Bunche, Langston Hughes, George Washington Carver, Ralph Abernathy, Thurgood Marshall and Martin Luther King, Jr. These men were many things to many people. They knew full well the role that racism played in their lives. But when it came to their accomplishments and sense of purpose, they had no time for excuses," Presi-dent Obama said. "You have within you the same cour-age, the same strength; the same resolve as the men who came before you," Obama explained.
President Obama also urged graduates to think of more than their careers. He told the graduates to be good role models and inspire oth-ers, particularly members of the black community who need a helping hand.
"There are some things, as black men we can only do for ourselves. There are some things, as Morehouse Men, that you are obliged to do for those still left behind. As Morehouse Men, you wield something even more pow-erful than the diploma you're
about to collect- and that's the power of your example."
The president also remind-ed the graduates that they were competing and working in a global economy with in-dividuals who are faced with tougher challenges who are entering the global work-force.
"Nobody is going to give you anything you haven't earned," President Obama said.
"Excuses are tools of the incompetent used to build bridges to nowhere and monuments of nothing-ness. We've got no time for excuses. Not because the bitter legacy of slavery and segregation have vanished entirely; they have not. Not because racism and discrimi-nation no longer exist; we know those are still out there. It's just that in today's hyper-
connected world, with mil-lions of young people from China, and India and Brazil- many of whom started with a whole lot less than all of you did- all of them entering the global workforce along-side you, nobody is going to give you anything that you have not earned," declared President Obama.

BMO Harris Bank also recognized over 100 students at Milwaukee School of Lan-guages who have already
earned their certification. Twenty schools are now us-ing the program in Milwau-kee Public Schools, and they will cumulatively certify over 2,000 students this year.
Additionally, BMO Harris Bank is providing parents, district administrators, and teachers with access to a two-hour online adult finan-cial literacy resource.
Powered by EverFi tech-nology, the web-based learn-ing high school platform uses the latest in new media technologies – video, anima-tions, 3-D gaming, avatars, and social networking – to bring complex financial con-cepts to life for today’s digi-tal generation.
High school students will become certified in over 600 topics in financial education, allowing them to become more informed, responsible citizens.
The 10-unit course offers 6-8 hours of programming aimed at teaching, assess-ing and certifying students in a variety of financial top-ics including credit scores, insurance, credit cards, stu-dent loans, mortgages, taxes, stocks, savings, 401k’s and other critical concepts that map to national financial lit-eracy standards. The learn-ing platform tracks knowl-edge gain as well as students’ attitudes and behaviors on these important issues. Stu-dents who successfully com-plete the course receive certi-fication in Financial Literacy, a valuable mark of distinc-tion on college applications and resumes.

Memorial Day has come to signify the start of summer for many Americans and is often celebrated with cook-outs, family get-togethers, road races and concerts. But the real meaning of Memo-rial Day has, for too many Americans, gotten lost in holiday hoopla.
Memorial Day was cre-ated as an occasion to hon-or those who have paid the ultimate price to ensure our freedom. It is our opportu-nity to stop and give thanks for the many who have died protecting that freedom.
Many consider the 20th century to have been the bloodiest century in all histo-ry. Since the start of the 20th century, American service men and women lost their lives in seven wars and con-flicts.The number of lives lost, injuries sustained and families impacted is stagger-ing.
Regardless of the circum-stances of the battlefield, the cry of the soldier remains the same --God help me.
During the last century, the weapons of war have changed significantly. Our nation’s enemies have also
changed during the last 100 years.
Yet, one constant during this time of change has been the presence of the Bible wherever our troops have been sent. That’s because, regardless of the circum-stances of the battlefield, the cry of the soldier remains the same: God help me.
The Bible and its message of foundational hope have provided comfort and en-couragement to those fac-ing the most unimaginable circumstances. And, while far too many were lost in conflict, many more soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and guardians have faced the horrors of war as well as the challenges of coming home.
When they face the hurdles of readjusting to civilian life, once again the Bible is there to bring comfort, hope, and direction.
Since 1817, American Bible Society has been providing free Bible resources to Amer-ica’s armed forces. More than two million New Testaments have been distributed just since 9/11/2001.
God’s Word provides peace amid chaos and perspective when the world seems upside down.
It also provides shared en-couragement for those on the battlefield and loved ones back home.
For those who give their lives for freedom, words from the Bible are often the
last they hear in this world as dedicated chaplains hold their hands and honor their sacrifice--even as they are making it.
I have had the supreme privilege of comforting those on the battlefield by read-ing words of comfort from God’s Word. I have seen the peace that comes with the assurance of strength and courage offered by God.
The widows, widowers and fatherless children of our American military family also cling to the Bible’s truths as they stand strong within the loss of their loved ones. As we remember the sacrifice of their heroic loved ones, let us not forget their own personal sacrifices.
This Memorial Day, enjoy burgers and hot dogs with loved ones, but take a mo-ment to remember those who can’t do the same.
Remember those families who will have an empty seat at their table and the men and women who used to oc-cupy it.
One way we can honor their sacrifice is to con-tinue to bring the comfort of God’s Word to those in harm’s way. Then pay tribute to these men and women by picking up a Bible and read-ing the words that echo on the battlefields of today and yesterday.
Perhaps consider read-ing Psalm 91 aloud. Allow this unchanging hope to strengthen, encourage and bring peace to you on Me-morial Day and every day.
Col. James Puchy (ret.) served as the director of sustainment and information for the Army Chief of Chaplains at the Pentagon before joining American Bible So-ciety in 2011. Founded in 1816, the American Bible Society exists to make the Bible available to ev-ery person in a language and for-mat each can understand and af-ford, so all people may experience its life-changing message.
The real meaning of Memorial Day
Being 44th in the nation in jobs is nothing to celebrateBy Peter Barca
Assembly Democratic Leader Peter Barca (D-Kenosha) issued the follow-ing statement after the Walk-er Administration released new data in an attempt to spin Wisconsin’s lagging re-cord on jobs and wages. The data put out by the Depart-ment of Workforce Devel-opment will not be reviewed by the federal government and able to be compared to other states until the end of June.
This follows a troubling pattern where the Walker Administration continually attempts to avoid the per-spective and scrutiny provid-ed by a national comparison on jobs.
“If Republicans spent half as much time creating jobs as they do spinning lacklus-ter job numbers, Wiscon-sin might not be falling so far behind in job creation,” Barca said. “Wisconsin also ranks 45th in wage growth according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics and dead last in short-term job growth ac-cording the conservative U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
“The Walker Administra-tion neglects to mention is that Wisconsin was 11th in the nation in job growth the year before the governor took office. I find it highly disturbing that the governor, his partisan cabinet secretar-
ies and Republican legisla-tors are all patting each other on the back now that we’ve plummeted to 44th.
“Spinning deeply troubling job numbers and telling ev-eryone ‘it’s working’ when it clearly is not working for middle-class Wisconsinites is getting in the way of real economic growth in our state. These same people also claim things are fine at Gov. Walker’s troubled jobs agen-cy, despite a stinging audit showing WEDC authorized illegal loans or tax credits, lost track of loans and spent taxpayer money on such questionable items as alcohol and iTunes gift cards."
Peter Barca(D-Kenosha)
The struggle continues 59 years after Brown v. Board of EducationBy Damon Hewitt, Director of the Education Practice Group at the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund
On May 17, 1954, the United State Supreme Court decided a case that changed the course of American his-tory. In Brown v. Board of Education, which was litigat-ed by the NAACP Legal De-fense and Educational Fund, a unanimous Court declared segregated education sys-tems unconstitutional, mark-ing the beginning of the end of America’s racial caste sys-tem.
As we mark the fifty-ninth anniversary of that landmark decision, it is appropriate to reflect on the progress of civil rights efforts since Brown was decided. But some are now questioning whether American institu-tions should still use race-conscious tools to promote diversity and inclusion in education and beyond. That issue is being played out in Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin, the latest challenge to higher education affirma-tive action programs.
But what we have learned since Brown suggests that we should be asking an entirely different question: In light of significant progress through mighty struggles, and with American society becoming increasingly diverse, can we afford at this point to allow
our institutions to go in the opposite direction?
The closing doors of op-portunity in states that have banned affirmative action programs have made the stakes clear. After Proposi-tion 209 in California banned race-conscious admissions, the selective institutions with the University of California system became more seg-regated. And Texas’ own history provides another re-minder. During the most re-cent years when UT-Austin did not consider race in ad-missions and instead used only race-neutral efforts, the percentage of African-Amer-ican students never com-prised more than 4.5 percent of enrollment, despite mak-ing up 12-13 percent of high school graduates in Texas and over 10 percent of the
state’s workforce.The stakes are high not just
for those who seek admis-sion to college; all Americans stand to lose. For example, colleges and universities re-alize that declining enroll-ment of African-American students limits their abil-ity to realize the educational benefits of diversity and is not conducive to training the leaders of tomorrow who must be able to navi-gate diverse workplaces and environments. The issues in play in the Fisher case could also impact K-12 education, where waning political will has led in part to a significant re-segregation of America’s public schools. These trends exacerbate ongoing prob-lems such as gaps in fiscal and human resources, access

Rebuilding our Community
By Dr. Andrew Calhoun, Ed.D. Special for the Milwaukee Times
Well…what do you know!Dr. Andrew Calhoun
Just when you think you have heard and seen it all… something else takes the cake and grabs the national and lo-cal news headlines. In most cases, it just simply takes your breath away or has you scratching your head. It does not have to be something that takes place overseas, an-other state or city… but how about your own back yard, in your neighborhood and on your block.
Real life situations play out each and every day as people are trying to live and make the best of what they have. For many, their everyday life is quite a struggle, to pay the bills, keep the lights on, roof over their heads, feed the family, go to work, attend church and support various community events. They are not looking to be in the spot light, hold a political office, or be the CEO of a com-pany… all they really want
is to live in peace, a nice and safe neighborhood, enjoy the fruit of their labors and quality time with the family. Is that too much to ask for?
Too often we lose focus and become disillusioned about what it means to be a “good neighbor.” Of course it is easy to just stay in our own little world and forget about those around us. It is also easy to just look the other way, to not see something, hear something or say it’s not my problem. And of course it is easy to just keep the grass cut, bushes trimmed, and trash picked up, and sit down each evening and enjoy a cooked or take home meal. But being a “good neighbor” is about being aware of what is happening in the neigh-borhood and participating in keeping the community a wonderful place in which to live, work and play. And that is called the American spirit.
See… the American spirit
is more than just earning a living, becoming wealthy or seeing your name in lights. The true American spirit is the willingness to help oth-ers who are less fortunate, those hit by natural disasters, enduring dangerous situa-tions, overcoming acts of terrorism, and responding to a cry for help. The Ameri-can spirit is embodied when one person reaches out to help another person in crisis, regardless of their personal background, race, creed, eth-nic origin or faith.
They are simply doing what comes natural to them… and lending a helping hand is as good as it gets.

We were right (so says the census): Hidden swing voters tipped the ccales in 2012
By Benjamin Todd JealousPresident and CEO, NAACP
There is no way to make up for decades of discrimina-tion that crippled the proud history of black farm owner-ship in this country. But we can do our best to move for-ward.
In 1999 the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture (USDA) settled the civil rights lawsuit Pigford v Glickman. They agreed to compensate thou-sands of black farmers who suffered racial discrimination at the hands of the USDA's farm loan program between 1981 and 1996. In the last three years, the federal gov-ernment has started to pro-vide relief to a second group of black farmers, as well as thousands of Native Ameri-can, Hispanic, and women farmers who suffered dis-crimination of their own.
These initiatives have come under recent scrutiny and accusations of fraud. But many critics do not know the full story. The Pigford settlements only just begin to make up for the long and ugly history of discrimina-tion against black farmers and other farmers of color in the United States.
Like so many great ideas in our nation's history, the USDA farm loan program was the product of compro-mise. In 1935, mired in the Great Depression, President
Franklin D. Roosevelt devel-oped a plan to help struggling farmers pay off their debts and stave off bankruptcy. But the initiative first had to earn the blessing of White southern senators who dom-inated Congress.
These senators insisted that the federal funds should funnel through southern

By Marc H. Morial, President and CEO, National Urban League
Last July, we released a re-port, "The Hidden Swing Voters," predicting that the African American vote would tip the scales in the 2012 election of Barack Obama, especially in several key swing states -- just as it had been a decisive factor in 2008.
Earlier this month, a Cen-sus Bureau report confirmed this analysis. Not only did the 2012 black vote make the difference in several key swing states, including Flor-ida, Pennsylvania, Virginia and the biggest prize of all, Ohio, but black voter turn-out surpassed the white vote for the first time in history.The Census Bureau found:
About two in three eligible blacks (66.2 percent) voted in the 2012 presidential elec-tion, higher than the 64.1 per-cent of non-Hispanic whites who did so. This marks the first time that blacks have voted at a higher rate than whites since the Census Bu-reau started publishing statis-tics on voting by the eligible citizen population in 1996.
Since 1996 black voter turnout rates have risen 13 percentage points, and the number of blacks who voted in 2012 rose by about 1.7 mil-lion over 2008. This is even more remarkable given that overall voting among eligible citizens declined last year. It also demonstrates that in the face of a widespread voter suppression campaign, a record number of blacks heeded our call to "Occupy the Vote" -- an effort which reached 10 million people through traditional and social media, phone banking and grassroots and community outreach. In fact, all Census divisions where voting rates of blacks exceeded those of whites included states that introduced major voter sup-pression tactics in the year leading up to the election.
While our organization does not endorse candidates, we do encourage civic en-gagement, and our affiliates have always played leading roles in voter registration drives. That is why the Cen-sus report showing that Af-rican Americans registered in record numbers last year was so meaningful. The reg-
istration rate for blacks rose from 69.7 percent in 2008 to 73.1 percent in 2012 -- the highest registration rate ever recorded. In Ohio, where 96 percent of the African American vote went to Presi-dent Obama, the black regis-tration rate was 74.4 percent. In North Carolina, a state the president lost this time around, African American registration increased from 71 percent in 2008 to 85 per-cent in 2012 with 80.2 per-cent of eligible black voters going to the polls, up from 68.1 percent four years ago.
The increase in black voter participation is an historic turning point for several rea-sons.First, it is clear that Mitt Romney would have eked out a victory in 2012 if vot-ers had turned out at 2004 levels when white turnout was higher and black turnout was lower.
Second, due to an increase in overall minority vot-ing, people of color will be wielding even more electoral clout in the coming years. According to noted Brook-ings demographer William Frey, "by 2024, their vote will be essential to victory."
Third, this demographic shift is prodding both major political parties to increase their outreach and appeal to minority voters and to reas-sess the impact their policies are having on those commu-nities.
There is no doubt that the opportunity to re-elect America's first black presi-dent contributed to record black turnout last year. But, no matter who is on the bal-lot in 2014 and 2016, we must continue to exercise our voice. We must continue to exercise our vote. There is no way to make up for de-cades of discrimination that crippled the proud history of black farm ownership in this

National Health Month: National Cancer Survivors Day June 2, 2013 - (Week 1)
“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest pros-
per and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”
- 3 John 1:2
One of the issues often ne-glected in the church is the issue of health. In addressing health issues members will not only be healthier but they will be better able to serve God and others with the gifts God has given them. Charles Reynolds Brown, past dean of Yale Divinity School in his book “Faith and Health” (T.Y. Crowell & Co., 1910) wrote: “The Church of Jesus Christ ought to ‘teach health,’ not as its chief business, but as a leaf on the tree of its main purpose, which, as al-ready indicated, is to produce the good fruit of Christian character and service.” June
is National Health Month. This month I will present a different health/awareness issue each week in an effort to encourage God’s people to take charge of their future by taking care of their health today. I plan to flesh them out and/or showcase them with actual examples of what we can do to support. I will begin this week with Nation-al Cancer Survivors Day.
National Cancer Survi-vors Day is celebrated every 1st Sunday in June. Who is a cancer survivor? The Na-tional Cancer Survivors Day Foundation defines a “sur-vivor” as anyone living with a history of cancer – from the moment of diagnosis through the remainder of life. National Cancer Survi-vors Day is an annual world-wide Celebration of Life. Ac-cording to the National Can-
cer Survivors Foundation, it is a: CELEBRATION for those who have survived, an INSPIRATION for those recently diagnosed, a gather-ing of SUPPORT for fami-lies, and an OUTREACH to the community. Participants unite in a symbolic event to show the world that life af-ter a cancer diagnosis can be meaningful, productive, and even inspiring.
National Cancer Survivors
Day is also a day for every-one, whether you’re a cancer survivor, a family member, friend, or medical profes-sional. This day provides an opportunity for all people living with a history of can-cer – including America’s nearly 14 million cancer sur-vivors – to connect with each other, celebrate milestones, and recognize those who have supported them along the way.
What can you do? Cele-brate life. Organize an event such as a candle lighting cere-mony or candle procession to honor cancer survivors. An-other idea is to hold a fund-raising run/walk or bike race with a registration fee ben-efiting local cancer support agencies. Finally, another great thought is to organize a Health Fair. A Health Fair offers the perfect opportuni-
ty to educate the community on cancer prevention, treat-ment, and research, as well as the issues that confront cancer survivors. It offers the opportunity to provide information booths on early detection, treatment options, and support group and pain management resources.

Safely HomeI am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmlyTrod the valley of the shade?Oh, but Jesus’ arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth’s shadows,Pray to trust our Father’s Will.
There is work still waiting for you,So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth–You shall rest in Jesus’ land.
When that work is all completed,He will gently call you Home;Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!
Love,Joe Sr.

The
Three MPS Gates Millennium Scholars honored by district, 'College Possible'Three Milwaukee Public
Schools seniors are among just 1,000 nationwide to be named Gates Millennium Scholars this year, an honor that translates into a “good-through-graduation” schol-arship to the college of each student’s choice paying for 100 percent of students’ un-met need.
All three MPS students worked with their school counselors – led by guidance directors Natalie Anderson at Riverside and Brian Schnei-der at South Division – as well as College Possible Mil-waukee, a program dedicated to making college admission and success possible for low-
income students through intensive coaching and sup-port.
Gates Millennium Scholar Mayra Alaniz is a student at MPS’ South Division High School who will be attend-ing Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. Scholar Jessica Curry, a student at MPS’ Riverside University High School, will attend the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. Her Riverside classmate and fellow Gates Millennium Scholar Kali Huettl will be attending Clark Atlanta University.
The three were recognized at an event on Monday, May 20.

Where did I leave my keys? Maintaining a healthy memoryIf you are reading this
article and you're over 40 you may be having memory lapses that are worrying you. Unfortunately, for many of us the worry is that we may be getting Alzheimer's. To-day, Alzheimer's disease out-ranks both heart disease and cancer as the primary fear of older Americans. With time, this fear can prove to have some foundation.
There are experts who pre-dict that by the year 2020 Al-zheimer's disease may strike as many as 10 million indi-viduals.
However, unless you carry
certain very rare genetic mu-tations, you don't have to be one of them.
The guidelines in this ar-ticle are a wonderful place to start maintaining your mem-ory.
With millions of "baby boomers" experiencing memory lapses, maintaining memory is a hot topic. In this series, we look at some of the most promising approaches. One of these is the use of ef-fective dietary supplements. These are virtually free of the side effects associated with expensive prescription medi-cations. The bottom line is to
embrace a health-giving and brain friendly lifestyle. Rest assured, there are many ways to remain mentally capable for life.Is it brain freeze?
Around age 40, the brain
begins to shrink and we be-gin to lose brain cells (neu-rons) and cerebrospinal fluid. This plus a build up of brain plaque results in short -circu-iting nerve connections.
Some of the first signs of failing memory are a tenden-cy to "misplace" things or forget the names of people just introduced to us. (This is when many of us get scared.) In The Edge Effect: How the Balanced Brain Can Give You an Advantage in Life, Eric Braverman, MD, emphasizes the importance of recogniz-ing what is happening to our bodies so that we can take
"effective countermeasures."In Female and Forgetful,
Lottor and Bruning point out that men's and wom-en's brains age differently. Women suffer a greater loss of neural tissue related to memory and to visual and spatial abilities than men. Also women are more likely to form brain plaque. As a consequence, more women than men are diagnosed with dementia. The authors de-fine the 10's of millions of women in perimenopause as victims of a "silent epidemic of memory loss".
Men also suffer a decline in memory and other cogni-tive functions. However, be-cause their hormone levels decrease more gradually than women's, it appears they are protected from the acute and often dramatic effects wom-en experience during and af-ter menopause. Additionally, research shows that brain atrophy in men typically oc-curs in areas related to think-ing and feeling rather than memory.
In one last gender-related debility, women are more likely to have low-function-ing thyroid glands than men. Cognitive impairment is among the symptoms of this disease. In her writings, Nan Kathryn Fuchs, PhD, has re-ported that some researchers believe that as many as one in four women are hypothy-roid. Dr. Nan thinks this may be attributed to an iodine deficiency and suggests that women get their thyroid lev-els tested.
On his website, Dharma Singh Khalsa, MD, a pioneer in brain longevity, says, "…I am convinced…that short term memory loss and Al-zheimer's disease can be pre-vented and treated using an integrative or holistic medi-cal program."
In his books and inter-views, Khalsa reminds us that the brain is flesh and blood. In other words, it doesn't ex-ist separate from us, rather it has the same health care demands as the rest of the body. This is the gold ring as we seek to keep our brain as high-functioning as possible.
Next week: 4 - step brain boosting program.

By Jason Alderman Director of Visa’s financial
education programs
Share your money before you dieNow that the long-debated
estate tax rules have finally been settled, let's get real: Despite all the hoopla raised, most people probably would never be impacted whether the lifetime estate tax thresh-old had stayed at $5.12 mil-lion or reverted to $1 million. In the end, it actually went up a bit to $5.25 million for 2013.
Even if your estate will only be a fraction of that amount, it still pays to have a plan for distributing your assets. If your finances are in good shape, there's no reason not to start sharing the wealth while you're still around to enjoy helping oth-ers. It also doesn't hurt that you can reap significant tax advantages by distributing a portion of your assets now.
Before you start doling out cash, however, make
sure you are on track to fund your own retirement, have adequate health insurance, can pay off your mortgage and are otherwise debt-free. You wouldn't want to deplete your resources and then be-come a financial burden on others.
If you can check all those boxes, consider these op-tions:
Avoid the gift tax. You can give cash or property worth up to $14,000 per year, per individual, before you'll trig-ger the federal gift tax. (Mar-ried couples filing jointly can give $28,000 per recipient.) You'll probably never have to pay a gift tax, however, since you're allowed to bestow up to $5.25 million in gifts dur-ing your lifetime above and beyond the annual $14,000 excluded amounts before the gift tax kicks in – which
for most of us means never. Read IRS Publication 950 (at www.irs.gov) for details.
Pay for education. If col-lege is still far off for your children, grandchildren or others, consider funding a 529 State Qualified Tuition Plan for them. Any interest the account earns is not sub-ject to federal (and in most cases, state) income tax; plus, many states offer tax deduc-tions for contributions made to their own 529 Plans. And don't worry: If one child de-
cides not to attend college, you can always transfer the account balance to another without penalty.
Roth IRAs for kids. If your minor children or grandchildren earn income (allowances and gifts don't count), you may fund a Roth IRA on their behalf. You can contribute up to $5,500 or the amount of their taxable earnings for the year, which-ever is less. Your contribu-tions are made on an after-tax basis but the earnings grow, tax-free, until the ac-count is tapped at retirement.
Fund someone's ben-efits. Many people cannot afford health or other insur-ance and so forego coverage, putting themselves just one serious illness or accident away from financial disaster. Many also can't fund their 401(k) plan or IRA. Consider
applying your tax-exempt gifts to help loved ones pay for these critical benefits. You'll not help protect them from catastrophe, but also greatly increase their long-term financial self-sufficien-cy.
Charitable contribu-tions. If you're planning to leave money or property to charities in your will, consid-er beginning to share those assets now, if you can afford to. You'll be able to enjoy watching your contributions at work – and be able to de-duct them from your income taxes. Read IRS Publication 526 for details.
Before taking any of these actions, consult your finan-cial advisor to make sure your own bases are covered. If you don't have an advisor, visit www.fpaforfinancial-planning.org for help locat-

Should you 'freeze' your credit reports?By Jason Alderman
Although the odds of hav-ing your identity stolen re-main quite low, anyone who's ever been had their bank or credit card account compro-mised knows what a pain it can be to unravel the mess. Sometimes enterprising hackers just need your Social Security number, address and date of birth to start opening new accounts in your name.
Many victims don't realize anything's wrong until they apply for a new account and find their credit has been trashed; or, they start getting calls from collection agen-cies regarding unfamiliar accounts. More and more people have begun blocking access to information in their credit reports, even if there hasn't yet been any fraudu-lent activity, by instituting a "security freeze."
A credit security freeze is where you instruct the three major credit bureaus to dis-allow new creditors from viewing your credit report and score. Because most businesses won't lend with-out first checking your re-port, a freeze can deter iden-tity thieves.
Before going to the trou-ble and expense of doing a credit freeze, however, learn how the process works and be aware of several possible inconveniences:
First, determine if you re-ally need a credit freeze. If your credit or debit card is lost or stolen, you won't necessarily be a victim of identity theft, which usually
requires additional personal information. Similarly, fraud-ulent billing charges don't necessarily indicate identity theft. Verify by reviewing your credit reports. You can order one free report annu-ally from the three major bureaus through the Annual-CreditReport.com; otherwise you'll pay a small fee.
To freeze your credit re-ports, you must individually contact each credit bureaus: Equifax (www.equifax.com), Experian (www.experian.com) and TransUnion (www.transunion.com). You'll need to supply your name, address, birth date, Social Security number and other personal information.
Filing requirements and fees vary based on your state of residence (commonly $5 to $10). People over age 65 sometimes receive a discount and if you are an identity theft victim, credit freezes are free – although you'll need to provide supporting paperwork.
Once implemented, you'll receive a unique personal identification number (PIN) from each credit bureau. Store these PINs securely because you'll need them to temporarily lift a credit freeze and then reinstate it – usually for a fee.
All these fees can really add up, so if you're planning any action that requires a credit check, you may want to hold off implementing a freeze. It can take up to five business days to process a request for a security freeze or tempo-rarily lift, so plan major pur-chases or other credit actions carefully.
A few additional facts about credit freezes:
• Although freezes can help block the creation of new credit accounts, they
can't prevent an identity thief from making charges to existing accounts.
• Your current creditors can still access your credit re-ports, as can collection agen-cies acting on their behalf.
• Government agencies have access for collecting child support payments or taxes, to investigate Medicaid fraud, or in response to court or administrative orders, sub-poenas or search warrants.
• You can temporarily lift a
credit freeze either for a spe-cific period of time, or for a specific party – say, a poten-tial landlord or employer.
If you lose your PIN, you may request a new one, al-though there may be a fee.
Bottom line: Always moni-tor your credit reports to spot errors or fraudulent ac-tivity. To take security a step further, consider placing a credit freeze on your reports.

Members of the Music Ministry at Greater Galilee Baptist Church, 2432 N. Teutonia Ave., hosted their annual Musical Celebration on Saturday and Sunday, May 18-19, 2013. The above picture was taken during the Sunday Morning Worship Service, which fea-
tured Pastor John R. Walton, Jr., of Calvary Baptist Church who preached the morning sermon. Sister Audrey Murphy is Music Minister and Rev. Johnny C. White is pastor.
The congregation of Shiloh Baptist Church, 4801 W. Capitol Drive, observed their church’s 59th anniver-sary on Sunday, May 19, 2013 at 3:00 P.M. “Moving Forward by Faith” (Hebrews 11:1) was their anniver-sary theme. The written history of the church states: “Shiloh means a place of peace or abundance” and there is no specific reference as to why the church’s founder, Rev. Cornelius Lampkin chose Shiloh as the name. Shiloh was organized on May 16, 1954 in the home of Rev. and Mrs. Cornelius Lampkin at 2427 N. 14th Street in the City of Milwaukee. Shiloh has also been pastored by Rev. L.D. Bell, Rev. Isaac Hopgood, Rev. Steven R. Mcvicker and Rev. Carl W. Griffin who was called as Shiloh’s fifth pastor in March 2009.

Local American Family Insurance Agent Lamar E. Dismuke earns American Star Excellence in customer experience certification
Lamar E. Dismuke, an American Family Insurance agent in Milwaukee, WI, has been recognized for provid-ing outstanding customer ex-perience under the American Star Excellence in Customer Experience Certification. Dismuke joins other Ameri-can Family agents who have demonstrated the highest level of commitment to out-standing customer service.
Dismuke has been an agent for American Family since October, 1995. His office is
located at 8201 W. Capitol Drive, Ste. 160, Milwaukee, WI.
“When choosing an insur-ance agent, consumers can rely on the American Star Excellence in Customer Ex-perience Certification to help them identify agents with a proven dedication to meet-ing customer needs,” said Dan Schultz, American Fam-ily president and chief oper-ating officer. “This is an out-standing accomplishment.”
The service excellence
distinction was determined through an evaluation pro-cess conducted under guide-lines established through the American Star Excellence in Customer Experience certifi-cation. The process consists of a customer satisfaction survey which measures cus-tomers’ overall experience with their current American Family agent. Only agen-cies that perform in the top 20 percent of all insurance agencies nationwide, based on customer satisfaction sur-
veys, are eligible to become American Star Excellence in Customer Experience certi-fied.
About American Family Insur-ance
Based in Madison, WI, Amer-ican Family Insurance offers auto, homeowners, life, health, commer-cial and farm/ranch insurance in 19 states. American Family is the nation’s third-largest mutual property/casualty insurance com-pany and 14th-largest property/casualty insurance group.

Attorney Michael Hupy sponsors three students to attend St. Marcus SchoolOn Tuesday, April 23,
2013, personal injury Attor-ney Michael Hupy presented a donation to St. Marcus School on behalf of his firm, Hupy and Abraham. The contribution will change the lives of three young children who will now be able to at-tend the school that sees 97 percent of its alumni gradu-ate from high school.
St. Marcus School (http://www.stmarcus.org/school/), located at 2215 North Palmer Street in Milwaukee, focuses on college preparation and employs a strict “no excus-es” approach. Current en-rollment is 670 students and with long waiting lists; next year the school will reach its maximum capacity of 730 students. The school, which was founded 11 years ago, primarily serves students that come from low-income homes.
Under the direction of Superintendent Henry Ty-son, the school incorporates a high level of discipline in their approach, producing results that seemed unfath-omable. “We are guided by a philosophy that everyone succeeds and that there is no excuse for failure,” according to Tyson. In fact, just over a decade ago, St. Marcus was a struggling Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod School whose K3-8th grade enrollment was hovering around 100. Not only has the enrollment sky-rocketed, but the quality of the education has been elevated as well. As the highest performing school in Milwaukee County, 85 percent of the 8th graders are proficient or advanced in reading while 74 percent are proficient or advanced in math. The school’s average daily attendance rate is 96 percent.
Milwaukee’s School Choice Program has played a big role in the growth of the school. Ninety percent of the stu-dents participate in the pro-gram, but the voucher only covers $6,400 of the $7,700 that it costs to attend. Gen-erous donors like Hupy and Abraham make it possible for more children to enroll at an impressive educational
institution and work toward a bright future.
Attorney Hupy presented Superintendent Henry Tyson with a check in the amount of $3900 which will cover the cost for three students to attend St. Marcus.
Hupy and Abraham, S.C.Founded in 1969 in Milwau-
kee, Wisconsin, personal injury law firm Hupy and Abraham, S.C. has a proven record of suc-cess with large settlements in se-rious cases, collecting $100s of
millions for 1,000s of satisfied clients. The firm has a long-es-tablished reputation of providing sound legal representation to ac-cident victims, securing fair com-pensation for its clients and giving back to the community.
The firm’s sixteen experienced attorneys are committed to going above and beyond the call of duty for their clients by tirelessly repre-senting them to the best of their ability while being involved in the local community—from raising funds for local charities to partici-
pating in safety and accident pre-vention initiatives. In 2012, the firm donated over $200,000 to more than 100 community orga-
nizations.To learn more about Hupy and
Abraham, S.C., visit their web-site at www.hupy.com.

n Nearly all beef cattle, whether raisedorganically or conventionally, spend themajority of their lives on pastures eatinggrass.
n Purchasing organic, grass-fed and free-range meats does not make them safer toconsume. These labels refer to how theanimals are raised, but all meat and poultrycan contain bacteria that could causeillness.
n Most cases of foodborne illness can beprevented with proper processing, hand lingand cooking of food to destroy bacteria.

Brown v. Board of Education(Continued from pg. 3)
to college-preparatory cur-riculum and student achieve-ment, as well as racial disparities in school disci-pline—what we have come to refer to as the School to Prison Pipeline.
Ironically, these are the very types of problems that the litigation effort behind
Brown was designed to ad-dress. And many of these is-sues are evident in the nearly one hundred K-12 school desegregation cases that the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund continues to litigate.
The persistence of these issues nearly sixty years later reminds us of the work left to be done. And it points to the need for America to do more –not less—to promote equity, inclusion and oppor-tunity. This is especially true in higher education and the continued need for affirma-
tive action programs. With the changing landscape of higher education institutions, and the perverse impact of the “new economy” on col-lege access and affordability for all, especially children of color, the nation finds itself at a critical juncture when it can ill afford to lose a vi-tal tool to opening pathways to opportunity. Doing so now would not only mean a change in policy – it would mean turning our back on the unfulfilled promise of Brown.

Black farmers(Continued from pg. 4)
plantation owners and wealthy white farmers. The white farmers would then distribute the loans to their black tenants and sharecrop-pers.
In practice, they were often not inclined to pass the funds along.
This dynamic only grew more toxic in the 1960s. As civil rights protests rocked the nation, USDA staff in-tentionally withheld loans from black farmers who voted, helped register voters, or joined the NAACP. This discrimination continued in the years that followed, and it had a devastating effect on farmers of color. According
to the Census of Agriculture, between 1920 and 1992 the number of African Ameri-can farmers declined from 925,000 to only 18,000.
Despite this history of fla-grant discrimination, Presi-dent Ronald Reagan abol-ished the USDA Office of Civil Rights in 1981, leaving farmers with no options for legal recourse. The office re-mained shuttered until 1996, when President Clinton re-opened its doors.
That 16-year period of lax oversight was the basis of Pigford v Glickman. In the eighties and early nine-ties, thousands of farmers of color were denied access to loans; information on farm programs; technical as-sistance; and adequate loan servicing from the USDA. Some farmers were denied applications outright, while others were asked to fill out
an application only to watch the local USDA supervisor throw it in the trash. At the time, these farmers had no-where to turn.
In recent weeks the Pigford settlement program has been attacked with accusations of widespread fraud. These at-tacks are simply unfair and untrue. Since the first settle-ment in 1999, a careful pro-cess has been in place to weed out potential fraud. All farmers who claimed dis-crimination were obligated to sign a form under penalty of perjury attesting to the veracity of their claim. Out of 22,000 claims filed, only 60 of them were investigated for fraud by the FBI -- less than one percent of the total.
Moreover, many farmers of color suffered discrimina-tion but were left out of both settlements. As Judge Paul L. Friedman wrote in his 1999 opinion, Pigford v. Glickman was a "significant first step" in addressing the USDA's broken promises and his-tory of discrimination. But it should not be the last. One promising solution is the farm bill that will soon be de-bated in Congress, which will ensure funding for programs to further assist farmers of color.
I spoke about this issue with Ralph Paige, Executive Director of the Federation of Southern Cooperatives/Land Assistance Fund, one of the oldest and most re-spected black farmer coali-tions in the country. He told me, "When we overcome racial injustices like this, we benefit society as a whole."
This is certainly true. The Pigford settlement has helped the USDA begin to move past its ugly history. We encourage the Depart-ment to continue to welcome farmers of color as partners and clients, and to offer them the respect they deserve and the services they still so greatly need.
