“You know my friends, there comes a time when people get tired of being trampled by the iron feet of oppression. There comes a time my friends, when people get tired of being plunged across the abyss of humiliation, where they experience the bleakness of nagging despair. There comes a time when people get tired of being pushed out of the glittering sunlight of life's July and left standing amid the piercing chill of an alpine November. There comes a time.”

It was in 1984 in an effort led by then Alderwoman Marlene Johnson that the Common Council voted 13-3 to rename 3rd Street, but chose to name the section from Wisconsin Avenue north to McKinley as North Old World Third Street, and from McKinley to West Capitol Drive, 3rd Street was renamed in honor of Doctor King. The decision at the time was marked by political fighting and racially charged discussions.

Last year in an effort led by Alderwoman Coggs to create a more equitable city, the Common Council unanimously sponsored and passed an ordinance renaming Old World Third Street, from West McKinley Avenue to West Wisconsin Avenue, North Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.

BLUE BUILDING - 310 W. Wisconsin

Today is Dr. Martin Luther King Birthday - The National event is open to the public and will include refreshments provided by Oak Barrel Public House, Third Street Tavern, Who’s on Third, and Canary Coffee (coffee and hot chocolate). Attendees will be encouraged to wear masks.

“Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.

=============>

Martin Luther King Jr. said, “If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.” This, my friends, was an example of a man with a purpose, plan, and vision. 

=============>

“There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right.”

― Martin Luther King Jr., A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches

=============>

“And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:

Free at last! Free at last!
Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!”
― Martin Luther King Jr., A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches  

 =============>

“You know my friends, there comes a time when people get tired of being trampled by the iron feet of oppression. There comes a time my friends, when people get tired of being plunged across the abyss of humiliation, where they experience the bleakness of nagging despair. There comes a time when people get tired of being pushed out of the glittering sunlight of life's July and left standing amid the piercing chill of an alpine November. There comes a time.”

― Martin Luther King Jr., A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches

=============>

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”

― Martin Luther King Jr.  

=============>
“Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.  

=============>

Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

We feel that the individual elected on April 5, 2022, will have many challenges to face due to the debris we have from the last 2 administrations of the 43^rd and 44^th mayors – John Olof Norquist (1988-2004) and Thomas Mark Barrett (2004-2021).

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day - John Lewis and Harris Wofford

 

DAY OF SERVICE

The national Martin Luther King Day of Service was started by former Pennsylvania U.S. Senator Harris Wofford and Atlanta Congressman John Lewis, who co-authored the King Holiday and Service Act. 

The federal legislation challenges Americans to transform the King Holiday into a day of citizen action volunteer service in honor of Dr. King. 

The federal legislation was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on August 23, 1994. 

Since 1996, Wofford's former state office director, Todd Bernstein, has been directing the annual Greater Philadelphia King Day of Service, the largest event in the nation honoring Dr. King.

==========================

JANUARY 22, 2019

Remembering Harris Wofford

Harris Wofford’s death on Martin Luther King Day was fitting, even poetic. He was a pioneering champion of civil rights and national service. He inspired thousands of people to believe in and pursue big ideas, to serve causes larger than themselves. He was also a kind, curious, warm, thoughtful, and beloved friend I will sadly miss.

====================

On behalf of my fellow Milwaukeeans and my office, we extend the office of 200 E. Wells Street, Milwaukee, WI  53202, 2nd Floor, S. for the position of Mayor/CEO of our city - 96.8 square miles, 15 aldermanic districts.

The office of mayor requires a "truth-teller" wrapped in RESPECT for the residential, commercial, and industrial stakeholders, his/her self, the office of mayor, Oath of office, laws, an all-hands-on-deck cabinet and appointees to ensure the laws and members of committees, councils, boards, and advisory teams are accountable.  

We expect our NEW mayor's agenda to Call for the Audit, the books of all funds (property tax supplemented funds, special revenue funds, and state aid) especially the American Rescue Plan Act, and the other Biden infrastructure federal funding.

Special attention is expected to RE-IMAGINE how our funds in the city of Milwaukee annual budget, HUD-City of Milwaukee Housing Authority-CDBG, contingency funding, Milwaukee Economic Development Corporation, Wisconsin Center District, tax increment districts, tourism and entertainment within 96.8 square miles.

Review the reasoning for the huge budgets for the Department of City Development,  Department of Public Works, Department of Neighborhood Services that support MMAC, Milwaukee 7, Greater Milwaukee Committee, and does nothing for 14 neighborhoods

Fact 1

We are entering our third year of Covid-19 Pandemic health concerns of coronavirus.  We have had over 10,000 deaths in Wisconsin. We have 800,000 and growing in America deaths.

Fact 2

Healthcare, safety (physical/mental/water/lead/environment) is priority.

MORE TO COME.
