The original post form “Your Black World” July 2011 article. I think it is an outrage that the MLK Memorial looks Asian, appears angry, and is minus African American workers or artists!!

The August 28 celebration of a new memorial in Washington DC is dedicated to the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The site will be four acres, and cost $120 million to construct. The memorial continues on in spite of controversy about the builders choosing a sculptor from China.
The King family is in support of the use of a Chinese sculptor, leaving many American and African American artists disappointed that their talents were not used by the family. There are also some who believe that the 30-foot likeness of Dr. King appears too confrontational, contrasting with King’s non-violent approach to Civil Rights.

Some weeks ago Mayor Barrett announced that he was leading a team of business and community leaders to rethink Wisconsin Avenue, to aide businesses in that immediate area and help the area become more economically viable as well as appeasing to the eye. Well that is all swell, but seems the mayor forgot about a project he was going to revitalize in his campaigning for mayor, help prosper and redevelop. What happened to developing Bronzeville dear mayor?

Though we have a segment on the Drum, “Milwaukee At Its Worst,” here is “Milwaukee At Its Finest!!”
In case you don’t know we have a Milwaukee contestant in American Idol. Her name is Naima Adedapo and she is definitely one of Milwaukee’s finest!
I hope you will take some time to support her tonight and throughout as her competition is fierce. Our voting numbers have been weak so we need to show up and make our voice heard for this amazing hometown talent.
