As it aims for fall opening, America s Black Holocaust Museum fills new role in the community

While America’s Black Holocaust Museum has remained closed throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, national discussions around systemic racism and social justice have caused the museum to take on a new role in the community, said president and chief executive officer Bert Davis. Davis said the museum has stepped up as a convener of discussions on race and inequality in the community over the past year, even as COVID has delayed the grand reopening of its new facility in Milwaukee’s Bronzeville district. Davis shared an update on ABHM and an outlook for museums nationally during a discussion hosted Monday by the Greater Milwaukee Committee.

Chauvin verdict: What thought leaders in Wisconsin, U S are saying

Reggie Jackson, a Milwaukee historian, is head griot of America s Black Holocaust Museum in Milwaukee:  The wait is nearly over, but it will be two months before the judge sentences former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. As people around the country rejoice in the verdict, I remind them that the sentencing might disappoint them, and Chauvin will likely appeal the verdict. To celebrate now makes some sense, but it is a premature celebration of the effort to fix policing in America.  It is in many ways like a baseball player who hits a homer on the first pitch he faces in the first game of spring training celebrating as if he has won the World Series. It feels good to see an officer who killed an unarmed Black civilian be found guilty. Let’s keep in mind how rare this is. It is rare for officers who kill unarmed Black people to be charged. A conviction is even more rare. An appropriate sentence even more rare.

Jim Crow comparison to Georgia vote law vexes Blacks

As Democrats increasingly brandish the Jim Crow comparison in the fight over state and national election laws, critics including Black conservatives are challenging the narrative, saying it trivializes the era’s horrific abuses by likening them to standard identification requirements used for everything from boarding an airplane to buying beer. “Comparing absentee ballot changes and ID requirements to banning Black people from restaurants and drinking fountains is absurd,” Mr. Lancaster said in an email. Wilfred Reilly, associate political science professor at Kentucky State University, a historically Black college, said the “Jim Crow claim passes through ‘nonsensical’ into offensiveness.” The Georgia Election Integrity Act expands voting hours but also requires identification for absentee voting, prohibits handing out food and drinks for voters within 150 feet of polling entrances and bans the mobile-voting buses used during last year’s pandemic.
