St. Joseph Academy (SJA) staff and students got their hands dirty to make Milwaukee’s South Side just a little bit greener! Thanks to a Scooby-Doo Doo Good Grant, SJA staff mem- bers were able to plant a pollinator garden full of species that benefit bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. The garden, lo- cated at the corner of 17th and Oklahoma streets, was com- pleted this summer. Resource Development Manager Kim Schubring and teachers Katie Schober, Jennifer Lubeck, and Marissa Tsicouris participated in the project. Ten SJA students in grades 5-8 participated in design meet- ings to learn about the project and pollinators, designed their own model gardens, and compiled ideas to build a shared model for the final garden. The chosen plants, all native to the Wisconsin area, will support a variety of pollinating insects. Most native pollinator plants have well-developed root systems, decreasing erosion and absorbing more water during heavy rain events. “Through this process, students developed research, design, teamwork, and communication skills,” said Katie Schober, middle school science teacher at SJA. Of course, the flowers will add beauty to the SJA sign and entrance area. The types of plants featured in the gar- den are bellflowers, cardinal flowers, early sunflowers, coreopsis, wild lupines, coneflowers, royal catchfly, prairie onions, purple prairie coneflowers, prairie blazing stars, mountain mint, and three varieties of milkweed to support monarch butterflies. Students are engaging in distance learning and were unable to help with the planting onsite; however, that did not stop SJA from making sure students were still deeply involved in the process. The students received their own plants and tools to do some gardening of their own at home. Eighth grade student Guadalupe Antonio Rubio en- joyed planning and designing the garden, as well as picking out the flowers. Antonio Rubio learned that it is important to keep pollinator animals safe and healthy by providing food for them. “I think this is important because bees provide honey for us and that is something tasteful and joyful,” she said.

  • 2008-2010 Annual Report
    A BODY POLITIC AND CORPORATE OF THE STATE OF WISCONSIN H OUSING AUTHORITYOFTHE C ITY O F M I LWAU K E E A NNUAL R EPORT 2 0 0 8 - 2 010 NAVIGATING THROUGH CHANGE In preparing this year's annual report, we reflected not only on our most recent successes but also on how much we have accomplished since our founding. The further back we looked, the more we came to appreciate how history can shape the present and inform the future; how seemingly random or disconnected events from across our nation or far corners of the globe can have a major impact on the everyday lives of people here in Milwaukee; how decisions made in Washington D.C., on Wall Street, in distant corporate offices or foreign capitols can influence local jobs, housing availability or educational opportunities. So, we decided to peer back over more than eight decades to examine just how national, regional and global events have helped shape the Milwaukee we live in today; and how, since 1944, the Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee (HACM) has helped the most vulnerable members of our community navigate through often unpredictable economic setbacks brought on by forces far beyond their ability to control. In 1903, a young President Teddy Roosevelt observed that "the welfare of each of us is dependent on the welfare of all of us." In his 1961 inaugural address, John Kennedy cautioned, "If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich." Today, yet another young president and millions of struggling American families face the uncertainty of a fragile, interconnected global economy; wars abroad; political unrest at home; a huge national debt and a slowly recovering job market.

The exploding African American population, combined with the growing strength of the Civil Rights movement, challenged the socially democratic principles on which the city was founded. While the growing black population provided surplus labor for the robust manufacturing sector, the racially restricted housing market helped foster a discriminatory, yet often times "color-blind" political climate, that challenged and undermined the growing political strength of the African American community well into the late 1990s. This dissertation surveys the last 40 years of local public policy and African American activism in Milwaukee to deepen the growing discourse around Michelle Alexander's concept "the New Jim Crow", challenge the notion that effective black activism ended in the 1960s, and to uncover how black activists in the late twentieth century struggled for power.

    MORE THAN THE SUM OF THEIR PARTS? LABOR-COMMUNITY COALITIONS IN THE RUST BELT by David S. Dobbie A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Social Work and Sociology) in the University of Michigan 2008 Doctoral Committee: Professor Howard A. Kimeldorf, Co-Chair Professor Michael S. Reisch, Co-Chair Assistant Professor Julia F. Paley Lecturer E. Ian Robinson David Reynolds, Wayne State University Copyright David S. Dobbie 2008 All rights reserved. To my grandmothers, Janice E. Dobbie and J. Enid Garner. ii Acknowledgements While any such project is an inherently collective enterprise, a dissertation accrues a particularly large pool of debts as one hesitatingly feels the way through this first “real” research project. First and foremost, this dissertation would have impossible without the generosity of dozens of activists in Pittsburgh, Chicago, Milwaukee, and beyond, who patiently told and retold their stories, guided me through my analysis, and provided feedback on what I wrote. John Goldstein, Madeline Talbott, Ken Snyder, and Tim Vining, in particular, paved the way for me with their advocacy. Scholars, archivists, and librarians in all three cities helped me access much of the information that enriched this project. David Rosenberg, at the University of Pittsburgh archives, was particularly welcoming to a young scholar who had no idea what he was looking for. I am especially grateful to those who found the topic important and encouraged me to continue— your words kept me going through the long days in the computer lab. I offer heartfelt thanks to the members of my committee and all the other academic mentors who have guided me along the way.
