‘In Our Mothers’ Gardens’: Film Review Lovia Gyarkye IN OUR MOTHERS GARDENS Still In Our Mothers’ Gardens, the feature directorial debut of Shantrelle P. Lewis, gingerly tends to the incandescent and sometimes knotty relationships between Black mothers and their daughters. The film, distributed by Ava DuVernay’s ARRAY and available on Netflix, takes inspiration in name and concept from Alice Walker’s 1972 essay “In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens,” a still-brilliant meditation on the interior and artistic lives of Black women in America. Walker’s essay begins with several questions: How did the mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers of Black American women, forced into bondage and servitude, express themselves? Who were they? What did they do with their creative energies? To find answers, “In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens” leisurely wades through literary criticism and personal history. Walker indicts Virginia Woolf’s ill-considered sentiment that for women, artistic expression requires “a room of her own” (with a key and lock), contextualizes Phillis Wheatley’s poetry and admires the quilt work of “an anonymous Black woman in Alabama” hanging in the Smithsonian before introducing readers to her own mother’s mode of expression: gardening. She litters her musings with invitations for other Black women to embark on similar journeys: “If we ask ourselves why, and search for and find the answer, we will know,” Walker writes, “just exactly who, and of what, we black American women are.”

Another former Milwaukee Public Schools building will become apartments. Royal Capital Group has closed on its purchase of the former Phillis Wheatley School, 2442 N. 20th St., and is set to begin construction work. The firm will redevelop the four-story building into 42 units of affordable housing and construct a new building on the southern portion of the 3.8-acre site that contains an additional 40 units. The units would have a mix of one, two and three-bedroom layouts.
Suzannah Omonuk learned about slavery as a child growing up in Uganda. But her history books were “whitewashed,” she said, sheltering her “from the true horrors” and ignoring the ways slavery’s toxic effects rippled throughout the U.S. and beyond. “In Uganda it was different because it almost felt like this was a terrible thing that happened in the world, but it’s over now, like we all can breathe a sigh of relief,” said Omonuk, a master’s candidate at Harvard Divinity School. “But coming here I realized: No, it’s still continuing, albeit in a different manner.”
Review by Rachel Narvey In Alison Clarke’s latest publication, Phillis (2020), Clarke cracks open time and form to craft a paean for the beloved eighteenth century poet, Phillis Wheatley. As a child, Phillis was taken from West Africa and sold into slavery. The couple that purchased her named her after the ship that had taken her to America. As Christina Sharpe writes in In the Wake: On Blackness and Being: “How does one mark someone for a space—the ship—who is already marked by it?” Clarke reworks the intentional amnesia of white supremacy, placing Phillis at the centre of both a rich cultural past of West African heritage, and a burgeoning future wherein her work imparts hope to the Black lives that follow hers.
Plans to convert a historic former school on Milwaukee's north side into affordable apartments are proceeding. Royal Capital Group Ltd. announced Tuesday it has completed the $465,000 purchase of the former Phillis Wheatley Elementary School, 2442 N. 20th St. Royal Capital plans to begin construction this month on creating 82 apartments at the site, with completion in spring 2022. The $22 million project features the conversion of the former school into 42 units, with 40 more apartments in a new four-story building on the same site. The apartments will range from one- to three-bedroom units. Most will be provided at below-market rents for people earning no more than 60% of the local median income.
