Lessons from Black Fathers  | New Pittsburgh Courier
Courier Newsroom
June 11, 2019
Warren Shadd, the nation’s first African-American piano manufacturer, recalls how he tagged along behind his father, James Shadd, a piano tuner at the historic Howard Theatre.
by Barrington M. Salmon
(TriceEdneyWire.com) Although many fathers grouse about the short shrift they get on Father’s Day, the power and importance of fathers in shaping the lives of their children and grandchildren cannot be understated or ignored.
With Sunday, June 16, set aside to honor fathers, we asked some men to reflect on the most important lesson they learned from a father, father figure, mentor, teacher or other male with influence in their lives. The following are parts of their stories.
“My father was absent and the most important thing I learned from that was to be present and be a father. I was raised with my grandparents. My grandfather was a model for me. The main lesson I learned was to be committed and handle it.”
Dennard, who grew up in St. Petersburg, Florida during the Jim Crow era, said Papa Joe wasn’t his biological grandfather.
“He married my grandmother and raised her seven children,” Dennard recalled. “He was the male figure in my life and continues to be the model. He was very soft-spoken and tinkered with things. He was a marksman in the military and took me out at age 8 to shoot a gun. He never laid a hand on any of us, but I never wanted to disappoint him.”
Dennard, who’s been married for more than 30 years to Dr. Sharon Dennard and is the father of three grown children, said Sgt. Joe Johnson’s impact has lasted his whole life and he recently wrote a dedication to his grandfather in a book.
“My mom had me in college and I didn’t move out of my grandparent’s house until I was eight,” he said. “The first Christmas without them tore me up. Sgt. Joe Johnson was the entire man. I never saw a flaw in my entire life – that’s who I came from.”
“I would say that the lessons I learned didn’t happen at one time,” said Thompson, a noted cinematographer in demand around the world. “I had him for 10 short years. He was the calmest person I’ve ever met in my entire life. Mom would shout and carry on and he’d be perfectly calm. He was the one who got me into the arts when I was a child.”
Thompson said his father, John Thompson, was a police officer and in his off time, he’d read poetry and was part of a theatre group.
“He was grooming me for a life in the arts and he didn’t even know it,” he said. “He taught me patience and how to solve things. I am that way, particularly with work. The main question I have is ‘how can I fix it?”
Thompson said his father’s death when he was 13, threw him into a tailspin but forced him to grow up quickly.
“When he died, as often happens, you’re not sure what to do or what to think,” Thompson said softly. “For a year after he died, I was in a haze. Mother forced me into doing adult things like ironing my clothes to go to school and ironing my siblings’ clothes too. I was responsible for everything after that. I had to get up at three in the morning to arrange transportation to school and take care of my siblings. I didn’t think about how tough it was. I really didn’t realize it until I was in my 20s.”
His father’s example of thinking through and solving problems had become a part of him. “I was thrown into the position of being responsible for everyone under me and to tell the truth, I handled it pretty well. I saw my mother get up and get things done and my father used to get up and get it done as well.”
“The other day, I cried from Benning Road to Eastern Market thinking about my father,” said Hines, a resident of Prince George’s County, Md. “It’s because Father’s Day is coming.”
Hines said he grew up in rural southern Louisiana in a town which had 8,000 people. He grew up in a shotgun house that had no running water or indoor plumbing.
“We didn’t have running water until I was 10 years old. It was definitely a motivator for me.” Hines said. “The first important lesson happened when I was 8 years old. I went with my father to the store. My father was 37 but he addressed a 26-year-old White boy in the store as sir and the White boy called my father by his first name. That took me immediately to a dark place.”
Hines said the young man tried to engage him in conversation and reached out to shake his hand, but he refused to respond or reciprocate.
“When we left, my father was angry. When we pulled off, he said, ‘I say yes sir so that your ass can eat, so that your brothers and sisters can eat and so your mother can eat,” he said. “He was upset with me. But when we got home, he explained to me what it was like for him living in southern Louisiana, overcoming challenges, fighting with White boys, being let go from jobs. He told me he wasn’t less than a man. He said he hoped I would understand. I took away from him what my journey would be like as a Black man, a father, someone’s husband and that I would have dignity in whatever I did.”
Another lesson learned over the entirety of his namesake’s life was his work ethic. And it’s clear that he’s not made of the stock his father was, Hines said.
Hines said he remembers his father coming home from one job for 15 mins, eating then laying on the floor before going off to another job.
“Man, he had so many jobs…He worked at Empire and would go for a week at a time in Plaquemine. He caught fish and cleaned fish and fileted them. He was a gas station attendant. Worked for city government in the Water and Gas department and worked for Dow Chemical as a contractor supporter. I remember I went to work with him when I was 15 to make some money and I fell out in that hot sun. We were out in the sun shoveling s–t. I fell the hell out in that sun, he put me in the shade and went back and continued working.”
Hines said his late father only had a 5-grade education but raised four boys in a tough, arbitrary world rife with racism, White privilege and entitlement.
“I grew up most of my life hating White people, but he taught me to be like water, to become fluid and taking the shape of whatever space/form that you’re put it in,” Hines said. “When you’re young you don’t know what’s on the other side of the mountain…I’m glad I had the chance to talk to Dad, share, and thank him for the things he did and taught me.”
“Man, there are just so many lessons. It may take a minute or two,” Warren Shadd mused. He said his father, James M. Shadd, used to tell him, “While you’re out here bullsh—ing, certain little boys are studying day and night to be your boss. He was such an aggressive businessman.”
The elder Shadd was the exclusive piano tuner to the historic Howard Theater – the first African-American allowed to join the union – and as a child, Warren Shadd said he’d tag along.
“I saw Sarah Vaughn, Duke Ellington, Nancy Wilson, Jimmy Smith, Joe Williams, Pearl Bailey, Count Basie, James Brown and other legendary performers,” Shadd recalled. “I was enamored with the pointed toe shoes and slick hair joints, the pageantry, strobe lights. There were great lessons I learned from my father from ages 4-11 such as understanding how to do stage performances, choreography. He also had me do things on piano, fix things such as changing bridal straps and changing hammers on piano actions, especially on old uprights. Those things subsequently are how I know how to build and rebuild pianos.”
Shadd comes from a family of musicians. His father was a pianist and drummer and had a big band; his aunt was acclaimed Jazz songstress Shirley Horne; his grandmother Marie was a pianist in a ragtime band; and his grandfather Gilbert designed and built a collapsible drum set. He is a first African-American piano manufacturer, the only Black person to build pianos in the world. He followed his father’s footsteps to become a second-generation piano tuner and technician, and he is a child prodigy and a third-generation musician.
His musical career was deeply influenced by his father who was a Jazz pianist and drummer in the Drum and Bugle Corps. Growing up, he said his aunt, Shirley Horne, and a gaggle of other musicians were always at the house.
Shadd said he is still in awe of his father’s prodigious work ethic.
“There were lots of lessons learned, such as seeing the discipline of my father,” he said. “He would go to his government work ‘til 5, come home, shower and shave and then he would go play with his band. He did this for 33 years. He would get only one or two hours sleep and then he’d be at it again. Given this, I couldn’t be a slacker.”
“My father, Samuel Johnson, was the best man at my wedding. He told me so many things. But the thing that stood out was that all you really need in life is one good friend, and to be careful of all the others around you,” Johnson said.
Johnson’s Dad, a high school dropout, held several jobs, including working as a maintenance engineer at Metropolitan Police Department headquarters. The family car was a taxicab, he said.
“Another piece of advice he told me is that you do what you have to do in life and don’t cut corners. I have two boys and I quit my job to be a stay-at-home dad when they were 4 and 7 years old. I also started my own business, Black Men in America. I’m always trying to model appropriate behavior and teach young people.”
“I created ‘Daddy Academy’ because I had to teach these guys how to be men.”
As for family, his father taught him another crucial lesson: “The other thing was to not listen to your friends when you’re married and never embarrass your wife in public…Let me put it to you this way: In July I will have been married for 34 years – so I listened.”

Stripping Away Concrete Builds Community — and Better Health — in Milwaukee
Zoe Sullivan August 2, 2019
Cities across the United States are evaluating their flood risks, and in some cases, they are finding that infrastructure installed in the 1960s and 70s is actually exacerbating flooding issues.
Milwaukee’s Kinnickinnic River, which locals call the “KK River,” is one of these. The smallest of three rivers that flow through Milwaukee into Lake Michigan, its 60s-era concrete lining has made flooding worse for neighbors who live in the area. Now, sewer district officials aim to return the river to its natural state, pulling out all seven miles of concrete and returning the riverbed to soil, rocks and vegetation. They’ve partnered with community health clinic Sixteenth Street Community Health Center to ensure that the project involves residents’ visions. The $390 million “rechanneling” process, which began ten years ago, is expected to last until 2035 and aims to reduce flooding, improve public health and safety and increase residents’ enjoyment of the river.
The 1960s were an era in which humans landed on the moon following a philosophy that we could impose our will on nature. The Kinnickinnic’s concrete lining stems from the same logic. The goal was to move flood water into Lake Michigan as quickly as possible. As a result, seven miles of the river now flow between narrow, concrete walls. That modification meant more homes could be built near the riverbanks, but it also increased the river’s rate of flow. At the time, the logic was that the faster you got heavy rains out of the urban environment, the better. Those modifications, however, meant that it was virtually impossible for anyone who fell into the river to clamber out. It also prevented the banks from absorbing water, therefore keeping it out of the sewer system. And, it failed to resolve flooding issues in adjacent areas of the Lincoln Village neighborhood through which it flows.
“If flood water gets in the basement of even one home, that can cause wide-scale basement backups and sewer overflows, and we don’t want that because that floor drain in a house [leads to] the sanitary sewer system,” says Bill Graffin, a spokesperson for the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewer District. During intense rain events, water can overtop the Kinnickinnic’s artificial banks and spill into the basements of nearby homes. Flowing into basement drains, this water can end up causing the sewer to overflow, producing backups into other homes and businesses via their basement drains.
Over the past several years, Milwaukee has experienced several heavy rain events that have caused problems, says Patrick Elliott, the engineer who manages the Kinnickinnic revitalization project for the sewer district. For example, in 2009, Miller Park, home of the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team, flooded. The following year, the city sustained more than $30 million in damages, and beaches were closed because the sewer system had overflowed, flowing directly into the lake. As the rechanneling project got under way in 2009, Elliott says, the sewer district had to adjust its plan to better accommodate the increased likelihood of intense rainfall.
These floods can cause short-term damage like flooding basements and causing the sewer system to overflow, but there’s a more insidious effect: they also cause mold in basements and walls. Mold contributes to high asthma rates among Sixteenth Street’s child patients. Nearly 13 percent of kids seen at the organization’s clinics have it, significantly higher than the national average of 8.4 percent.
That’s why Sixteenth Street is interested in the rechanneling project.
In addition, the organization is working to ensure residents’ voices are heard during the process. All of Sixteenth Street’s staff speak Spanish in this predominantly Latino neighborhood, and this combined with the organization’s deep roots in the community is why the sewer district sought to partner with them to engage residents.
In turn, Sixteenth Street joined forces with KK River Neighbors in Action. Travis Hope, 40, is the organization’s president and a long-time neighborhood resident. “I’ve been trying to work on there to activate that green space and to do stuff in the park and to keep it connected to the neighborhood,” Hope says.
Together, KK River Neighbors and Sixteenth Street have knocked on more than 1,200 doors since April. This strategy complements picnics and pop-up events where, says Stephanie Mercado, the neighborhood revitalization manager for Sixteenth Street, use sewer district information about water quality and the environment to educate residents. Mercado says the aim is so “people are invested in that project and realize how it’s going to affect them.”
The sewer district and the health center have also piggybacked on KK River Neighbors’ monthly meetings to get information out about the concrete-removal project. “Aldermen come, the police come, different resources are in attendance, as well as neighbors that have concerns or questions. So that’s been a great way for us to get information out but also to take concerns back to [the sewer district],” Mercado says.
Not every community concern connects directly to the Kinnickinnic rechanneling project, yet Mercado sees a bigger picture of community health. For example, when a resident expresses concern about fast cars, Mercado sees a speed bump as increasing the likelihood that residents will cross the street and, consequently, exercise.
Elliott, of the sewer district, credits the agency’s executive director with the push to connect with community partners, but he is also pragmatic about the importance of these efforts. “If the community doesn’t see it as a success, if they don’t see the project as working, it’s tough to call it a success,” Elliott says.
Mercado and Hope both commented on the way residents are engaging with the fauna that are returning to the areas of the river where the concrete has already been removed. Salmon have been observed spawning downstream and traveling upstream to Pulaski Park, Mercado says. As a result, fishing becomes a real possibility. Likewise, a volunteer leads bird- and bat-walks and keeps track of migration patterns.
In that sense, Hope says the park is undergoing a transformation as more people use it as a space to walk and ride bicycles. “That’s what really changed,” he says. “There’s a nice trail that goes through there, because we got a grant from rails and trails,” he says. Now, one of the improvements the KK River Neighbors are considering for the park are painted lines on the ground that can indicate how far a certain route is, which would allow walkers and joggers to gauge how far they are traveling.
Elliott says that, as an engineer, this project has pushed him outside of his comfort zone and into connecting with the public. But he says, while coordinating with different partners adds complexity to the project, it also strengthens it by incorporating input from different groups. Working with a range of groups, Elliott says, “also [builds] more champions within these areas and these projects that will work towards carrying these messages forward to improve water quality.”

On March 16, the 48-year-old started to feel sick just days after her 7-year-old grandson, Terrence Lathan Jr., began exhibiting symptoms of a cold.
But after three days, Lathan, a technology support technician for Milwaukee Public Schools, was concerned. As an asthma patient and someone who had been watching the news about the burgeoning coronavirus, she began to worry this “cold” wasn’t really a cold. She called her doctor at Ascension Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital to make sure.
The doctor told her to self-quarantine for seven days at her home on the city’s northwest side, which she shares with her grandson, his father, Terrence Lathan Sr., and a female cousin, and to reach out again if her symptoms got worse.
Over the next five days, the high fever (102 degrees), body aches, headaches, dry coughs, congestion, shortness of breath and painful diarrhea continued. None of the treatments seemed to work. NyQuil. DayQuil. Tylenol. Theraflu. Nothing.
After visiting a drive-thru testing center (the first of three times she would be tested over the next month), Lathan tested positive for the coronavirus on March 27. She was admitted to Columbia St. Mary’s on March 31.

At the hospital, the symptoms persisted. Lathan had problems catching her breath. She had to keep the lights off in her room because they hurt her eyes. She kept the room’s television off because it kept showing coronavirus coverage. An X-ray showed she had pneumonia in both lungs. The stress and anxiety caused her blood pressure to rise.
One day she woke up and a response team was standing around her bed.
“They actually thought they lost me,” she said.
In the middle of a pandemic that has touched all but one continent, Milwaukee has emerged as a leading example of how the coronavirus, and COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus, has disproportionately affected African Americans.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has found that African Americans, who account for 13% of the U.S. population, make up 31% of coronavirus hospitalizations. A Washington Post analysis of state health department data also found that “counties that are majority-black have three times the rate of infections and almost six times the rate of deaths as counties where white residents are in the majority.”
In Wisconsin, black people make up 6.7% of the state population, but make up 24% of all coronavirus cases and 35% of coronavirus-related deaths. In Milwaukee County, where African Americans make up 27% of the population, African Americans make up 42% of positive cases and 52% of coronavirus-related deaths. The rate of coronavirus cases (positive tests per 100,000 people) in Milwaukee County stands at 275.5, by far the highest rate in the state.
Milwaukee’s notorious history as one of the most segregated cities in America, combined with a history of inadequate health care, housing and government action, has made the industrial city of 600,000 a test case of how black Americans are being exposed to and dying from a disease that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and others once referred to as “the great equalizer.”
To be sure, Milwaukee is not unique among major U.S. cities. In Detroit, New Orleans, Chicago and Washington, African Americans comprise the majority of COVID-19 deaths despite not accounting for a majority of the population in their respective cities. In New York City, African Americans are twice as likely to die from COVID-19 as white residents in the city.
In early April, the CDC released a report on COVID-19 hospitalizations from March 1 to March 30, which showed that of a sample of 180 adults who tested positive for the coronavirus, 90% had a preexisting health condition. Those top five conditions were hypertension, obesity, chronic metabolic disease (e.g., diabetes), chronic lung disease (e.g., asthma) and cardiovascular disease (e.g., coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure).
A look at those underlying conditions paints a dismal picture for African Americans.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, African Americans are 40% more likely to have high blood pressure than white Americans; 1.3 times more likely to be obese (about four out of five black women are obese); 60% more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes; and, at one point, were almost three times more likely to die from “asthma-related causes.” Nearly half of all African American men and women have some form of heart disease, according to the American Heart Association.
“This virus obviously affects people who have significant comorbid conditions more than those who do not. I can tell you, clinically, it loves to particularly affect people that are obese,” Marc J. Labat, an emergency medicine doctor at St. Charles Parish Hospital in Louisiana, told The Undefeated last week. “The reality of the matter is that we know that African Americans are 50% more likely to be obese than their non-Hispanic white counterparts.”
Researchers at Harvard University’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health also recently found that long-term exposure to air pollution can possibly lead to higher rates of deaths from COVID-19. A 2019 study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America found that, on average, African Americans are exposed to 56% more air pollution than they themselves cause, air pollution that is disproportionately caused by white Americans. White people, on the other hand, are exposed to 17% less of the air pollution they’re responsible for.
Then there’s the issue of health care.

Black susceptibility to the coronavirus starts with access to (affordable) health care. In short, access is limited. Before the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010, uninsured rates for non-elderly African Americans were at 20%, the second-highest rate in the country behind Hispanics. While the ACA raised insured rates among all racial groups in America, the current uninsured rates for African Americans (9.9%), regardless of age, is more than that of white Americans (5.9%).
Even if black Milwaukeeans have access to health care, that may not be their reality. Across the country, African Americans are more likely than white Americans to live in a neighborhood with a shortage of hospitals and doctors. A 2014 joint analysis by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel found that while nearly two-thirds of hospitals opened in the U.S. since 2000 have been in wealthy suburban neighborhoods, poor urban communities have lost 46% of their hospitals in the same time span. (“Since 1988, Milwaukee County has lost its public hospital and five city hospitals,” the report found.) In 2018, Ascension, one of the largest private health care providers in the country (which operates Columbia St. Mary’s), shut down surgical and medical units at its St. Joseph hospital in Milwaukee due to financial constraints. By sure coincidence, most St. Joseph patients are covered by Medicaid, the federal health care program for low-income people (African Americans account for 20% of Medicaid enrollees nationally).
As it pertains to the coronavirus, African Americans are having a hard time even getting tested. In Milwaukee, Lathan said people were shocked at how fast she was able to get tested. But Philadelphia paints a different picture.
Usama Bilal, an assistant epidemiology and biostatistics professor at Drexel University’s Dornsife School of Public Health, using ZIP code data from the Philadelphia Department of Public Health, found that, per capita, people living in poorer ZIP codes in Philadelphia are being tested six times less for the coronavirus than those living in ZIP codes in wealthier neighborhoods.
Bilal found that, in the four least tested ZIP codes in Philadelphia, African Americans make up 24.4%, 50%, 37% and 15.8% of the population. In the top four tested ZIP codes, African Americans make up 7.9%, 29.2%, 42.7% and 4.5% of the population. (Gentrification and white wealth, Bilal says, explain why the ZIP code 19146, where African Americans make up 42.7% of the population, has a high test rate.)
While “poor” and “black” are not synonymous, Bilal said, one can extrapolate this class data to race to get a clearer picture of who is being excluded in testing.
“Those two things, unfortunately due to racism and all of that, are highly linked, especially in Philadelphia,” Bilal said, referring to class and race. “It is hard to separate those two in this case.”
Testing and tracing are key to controlling the coronavirus, he added. Which brings as no surprise that black Philadelphians make up the most coronavirus-related deaths in the city. Data released Wednesday by the city’s Department of Public Health shows that black Philadelphians made up 39% of 78 deaths resulting from COVID-19. White Philadelphians comprised another 29%.
Overcoming physical access concerns doesn’t necessarily lead to adequate care: African Americans receive by far the worst medical care in the country, no doubt compounded by long-held racist stereotypes perpetuated by some medical professionals.
A 2016 study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America found that half of a sample of white medical students believed in one or more “false beliefs” in biological differences between African Americans and white Americans (e.g. “Blacks’ skin is thicker than whites”). In normal times, unconscious biases could lead to inadequate care or unsettling microaggressions. In the era of COVID-19, unconscious biases could be the difference between life and death.
In Detroit, Gary Fowler, a 56-year-old black man, died days after being sent home by three metro hospitals despite exhibiting symptoms of the coronavirus: difficulty breathing, high fever and exposure to someone who tested positive for COVID-19. “I just felt so bad because he was begging for his life, and medical professionals did nothing for him,” Keith Gambrell, Fowler’s son, told the Detroit Free Press.
Back in Milwaukee, Syvell Hall, a 53-year-old assistant principal at James E. Groppi High School, was discharged from a hospital despite having already tested positive for COVID-19. Hall said an emergency room physician’s assistant told him that he should come back if his symptoms (dizziness, nausea, headache, high temperature) worsened. This comes months after a Milwaukee woman, in an incident unrelated to the coronavirus pandemic, died after waiting two hours in a hospital waiting room after exhibiting chest pain and shortness of breath.
“I felt like the level of care, as it related to my suffering, wasn’t being taken seriously. I didn’t feel like I had any rights to question their authority,” Hall told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
The long, sordid history of the health care industry’s treatment of African Americans — from the Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male to the theft of Henrietta Lacks’ cancer cells — has also contributed to substandard health. A 2007 study in the National Center for Biotechnology Information found that African Americans were distrustful of clinical research and less likely than white Americans to trust doctors when it comes to medical research, severely impacting the participation of African Americans in studies. A 2017 working paper in the National Bureau of Economic Research found a correlation between the exposure of the Tuskegee experiments in 1972 and the increase in medical mistrust and decrease in doctor visits among black men.
“I can’t tell you the numbers of people that I have known of who have shown up in the emergency room the last week of their lives with cancer because they didn’t have any insurance or didn’t have any money and didn’t want to go seek health care,” said Rep. Gwen Moore, whose congressional district covers the city of Milwaukee.
“It’s not because we have some sort of ‘black gene’ that makes us more susceptible to morbidity — we are responsible. We’re maimed in all kinds of ways, cut, injured … and we just don’t show up. And when we do show up, there are all kinds of other impediments.”
To help prevent the spread of the virus, Americans have been advised to practice social distancing, limiting the number of people they are around and breaking up large gatherings. Social distancing and stay-at-home orders have likely saved millions of lives in America alone.
But as New York Times op-ed columnist Charles M. Blow recently wrote, “social distancing is a privilege.” Stay-at-home directives from state governments have kept some 300 million people indoors, but there’s reason to believe many African Americans are among the crop of workers deemed “essential” by state and federal governments, thus having few other options than to risk their health and go to work.
Most black workers can’t social distance. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data reviewed by the Economic Policy Institute, a Washington-based nonpartisan think tank, while 30% of white Americans and 37% of Asian Americans work in industries that allow for telework, less than 20% of black people do. The data also shows that those who work jobs with the lowest wages in the country (hospitality, transportation, retail, construction) — jobs with the largest concentrations of black workers — are less likely to be able to work from home.
Black workers find it difficult to social distance while on their way to work. A 2006 study by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley and Brookings Institution Metropolitan Policy Program found that African Americans had the lowest car ownership in America, a rate four times less than that of white Americans. Which explains why African Americans are most likely to use public transportation, according to a 2015 Pew Research Center survey. And there’s a high chance the person funneling people to their jobs on public transportation are, themselves, black: Public data website Data USA found that nearly 30% of bus drivers in America are black. African Americans also over indexed among ride-share drivers: a 2014 Benenson Strategy Group survey found that nearly 20% of Uber drivers in 20 major cities were black (40% were white).
Social distancing is almost nonexistent among the homeless population, which in Milwaukee is overwhelmingly black. A point-in-time study of homelessness in Milwaukee by the Institute for Community Alliances, a nonprofit group that addresses “housing instability, homelessness, food insecurity,” found that nearly 60% of the homeless population in the city and county was black.
Fred Royal, president of the Milwaukee chapter of the NAACP, said he is concerned about the city’s vulnerable population that have either been turned away from testing or have nowhere to go if they test positive.
“Where’s the effort to ensure that the individuals who are homeless in the city of Milwaukee or have housing issues … have access to these types of facilities where they can self-quarantine if they’ve been identified with COVID-19?” asked Royal, who has lost five friends and relatives to the disease.
When asked if he believes that there’s a high percentage of African Americans being sent away from hospitals while seeking COVID-19 testing, Royal responded, “Anecdotally, I believe that would be accurate.”
Shortages of paper towels and toilet tissue aside, some black people in Milwaukee don’t have the privilege of raiding grocery stores and hunkering down for weeks in their homes. Milwaukee is one of the most impoverished cities in the country; in 2014, Milwaukee’s poverty rate (29%) was double the national rate (14.8%). Seventy percent of the city’s 52 food pantries have closed since March. In one neighborhood, Sherman Park, just one food pantry remains out of four and there are zero grocery stores. Residents told The Washington Post they’ve been forced to travel from these food deserts — whether by car or public bus — to white neighborhoods miles away in order to find stocked grocery stores.
Sherrie Tussler, executive director of the Hunger Task Force, a nonprofit food bank that provides food for low-income people in Milwaukee, said years of neglect of certain neighborhoods in the city have helped further devastate these communities during the pandemic. In the 53206 ZIP code, which is situated in the northwest area of the city and is 94% black, houses are boarded up, businesses have left, and coffee shops and libraries are nonexistent.
“That neighborhood, in particular, you’re just super aware of everything going on around you because it just doesn’t feel right,” said Tussler, who added that her organization would have gone broke by now had it not been for timely donations.
While African Americans in Milwaukee suffer, it appears some white people in the state couldn’t care less. A Wisconsin conservative radio host, using “Milwaukee” as a euphemism for “black,” told The New York Times the state should be reopened because when “You go to central and northern Wisconsin, you have folks who are looking at Milwaukee and saying, ‘We understand that they need help, but why do we have to sacrifice our entire livelihood for them?’ ” The treasurer of the Republican Party of Wisconsin implored his followers to leave their Confederate flags at home for a protest in Madison, Wisconsin, against the governor’s extension of a stay-at-home directive as to “control the optics during the event.” Most protesters at demonstrations across the country have been white.
While multiple surveys show that most Americans support stay-at-home or social distancing measures to help prevent the spread of the virus — which has infected more than 1 million Americans and killed more than 55,000 in less than two months, including 167 people in Milwaukee County as of April 18 — a Pew Research study found that African Americans (and Hispanics) are more concerned than white Americans about either contracting the coronavirus or unknowingly spreading it to others.
“This right here, I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy,” said 53-year-old Michelle Hudson, who lives in Milwaukee and tested positive for COVID-19 in early April.
“Everybody just needs to — excuse my French — sit they a–es down until this is over.”
On March 28, Lathan posted on her Facebook page that she had tested positive for the coronavirus and implored her friends to “Please, please, please believe me when I say this is SERIOUS & REAL!” The response she received was “very therapeutic,” she said.
“HE got you Adrienne,” one woman wrote, presumably referring to God.
“I believe that your telling others will finally make it real for some folks who are still taking this lightly,” another said.
Nearly 700 people commented on the status. Another 126 shared it.
On March 31, after six days in the hospital, Lathan was discharged. “YES! I am home & I’m a COVID-19 SURVIVOR!” she wrote on Facebook.
The jubilation was fleeting, though. At the bottom of her post about leaving the hospital, Lathan added a note: “PLEASE keep my dad, Jerald, in your thoughts & prayers. He’s in ICU fighting for his life.”

A day before Lathan was released from Columbia St. Mary’s, her 71-year-old father, Jerald Coleman, was admitted to St. Joseph. A retired laborer and Vietnam war veteran, Coleman had battled diabetes, congestive heart failure and hypertension throughout his life.
On April 4, Coleman died. He had tested positive for COVID-19 just one week before.
Lathan feels survivor’s guilt. Why did she make it but her father didn’t? On top of that, her close friend also died from COVID-19 on April 13. Another friend is currently in a hospital’s intensive care unit battling the disease.
Despite testing negative for the virus in late April, it still lingers, at least psychologically. Grocery shopping is a nerve-racking experience. A trip to a respiratory clinic led to her heart racing as she contemplated getting out of the car. What motivated her during that week in the hospital was getting back to her son and grandson.
“This is the face of a survivor. If you want to be a survivor, you have to take this seriously,” said Lathan, who is well aware of the disparity between how the virus has impacted black and white communities.
“This is not a joke. This is not a common cold. This is killing people.”
