OPINION: Hope is the key to unlocking Milwaukee’s vast potential and moving our city forward

OPINION: Here’s why Milwaukee needs a new movie palace to replace the Oriental Theatre

OPINION: Black Americans still lag in COVID-19 vaccination rates. We must use culturally attuned strategies to address the issue.
Representing nearly 13% of the U.S. population, the Black community is one of our country’s communities hit hardest by the COVID pandemic. We must fix this.

OPINION: MPS needs to be fixed now, and the mayor must lead the effort

The district’s academic record does not warrant MPS Board’s decision to give its members a 4.7% pay raise.
OPINION: ‘The goodness continues’: How the new Table Vocational Center answers a call to serve our community
At 5305 W. Capitol Drive, we are launching The Table Vocational Center. It will focus on both the inner work, and the outer work, humanity needs to be restored to wholeness.
