OPINION: Changing the name won’t change Reagan. This is a decision for the school’s community.

OPINION: Here’s why Milwaukee remains a racist city

July 13, 2020 by Bob Graf 18 Comments

Since the ’60s, Milwaukee has not tolerated overt racism, but systematic structural racism has prevailed. It is not only the city officials who perpetuate this racism, but it is all of us who consistently support and vote them into office.
