Black Lives Matter - Learn & Take Action for February 2021 #2
LEARN – If you watched Remembering Bronzeville (BLM L&TA January 2021 #2) about Milwaukee’s Black neighborhood (watch it free HERE) <http://www.remembering-bronzeville.org/about.html>, you learned a bit about blockbusting. HERE <https://www.blackpast.org/african-american-history/blockbusting/> is blockbusting defined. HERE <https://medium.com/@DmitriMehlhorn/a-requiem-for-blockbusting-68152244e77a> is more about how blockbusting affected (and still affects) segregation in our neighborhoods and contributes to systemic racism. A deeper dive into the history of blockbusting in Milwaukee is HERE <https://urbanmilwaukee.com/2017/05/22/op-ed-we-like-suburban-segregation/>.

TAKE ACTION – Read this opinion piece on a cemetery refusing Black burial by Bill Janz, retired columnist for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel HERE <https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/solutions/2021/02/05/family-black-sheriffs-deputy-learns-hard-lesson-racism/4363735001/>. (Another of his articles on those not following Covid health guidelines HERE. <https://www.jsonline.com/story/opinion/2020/12/03/bill-janz-no-right-to-endanger-with-covid-19-by-not-wearing-mask-distancing-getting-vaccinated/3799716001/>) Then take a minute to email him at wjanz at wi.rr.com <mailto:wjanz at wi.rr.com> for keeping these issues alive and in the news.
