MILWAUKEE - This morning a colleague shared the surprising news that Mr. Harry Kemp was no longer here. That he took a SPECIAL journey on Thursday, September 28, 2011, with no return.
I immediately became sadden since I had just thought of Harry just a day or so ago - wondering how he was. I have not seen Harry in a while - the last time I saw him was on the #30 bus with his camera.
We would every so often meet up at METRO Mart and chat in the sitting area while eating. I always talked about the current events and conditions of our city, especially the unacceptable enduring concentrated poverty of the majority population - African American, People of Color and Work-Challenged population.
Harry was usually philosophical and showing vintage in wisdom. We would laugh and have an interesting discourse. He was always the professional. He reminded me of the "college professor".
Happy Trails
I know we have sent our friend, brother, loved one and professional "Visual Griot" of Milwaukee to take his lifetime video of years of photos while here as well as photos on his journey to the permanent resting place.
I owe Harry a special thanks for his services to Milwaukee Professionals Association and a favor - I look forward to fulfilling it before I take the journey. You be well my friend and know that you are missed greatly.
