Last week, President Joe Biden announced plans for new monuments to honor Emmett Till and his mother, Mamie. They will be erected in Mississippi where Till was murdered and at the church in Chicago where Till was laid to rest.
The designations come as states across the country are restricting how Black history can be taught in schools. At least 44 states have introduced legislation that would restrict how teachers discuss racism and racial issues in the classroom.
We assemble a panel of guests to discuss how the murder of Emmett Till catalyzed the civil rights movement, what significance these new national monuments hold, and why the teaching of Till’s story could be under threat.

1.) Horror in the heartland: Finding America’s sundown towns is easier than you might think
BY DETOUR STAFF UPDATED APRIL 25, 2023 1:14 PM
Sundown towns are not confined to one state or region; they are found in states across the nation. See how states compare to one another in this map.
Sundown towns are communities in which Black people were not welcome. These towns openly discriminated against Black residents and visitors, and violence was a common tactic. The name comes from signs that used to be posted telling minorities to be gone before the sun set for the day.
While this sounds like it might be a uniquely Southern phenomenon, it wasn’t; sundown towns aren’t endemic to just one region or state. Sundown towns may seem like relics of a bygone era, but they aren’t. They’re still with us.

2.). What is a ‘sundown town’? When and where American racism was in full public view
Published 9:14 a.m. CT June 9, 2022 | Updated 12:06 p.m. CT
June 9, 2022
Sundown towns are a part of our nation’s history — our somber history of discrimination and racial strife.
A “sundown town” or “grey town” refers to a community that set rules intended to keep Black people from living there. The term arose in the 20th century when towns would allow Black people to work in an area but not reside there. By sundown, they had to get out of town or risk becoming a victim of harassment, threats, arrest and beatings.
These towns were an open secret of racial segregation. Some of the less egregious signs posted read “Whites only after dark.”

Sundown town sign:Fact check: Image shows a screenshot of a sundown town sign from the movie ‘Green Book’
‘Sundown towns’ and denial of fair housing
Many “sundown towns” used discriminatory housing covenants to ensure no non-white person would be allowed to purchase or rent a home, according to blackpast.org, resulting in the dramatic decline of Black populations from one decade to the next.
These towns have been documented in every state in the continental United States, according to James Loewen, sociologist, historian and author.
There were hundreds of them, including 22 in Florida.

1.) BLOG: "WISCONSIN'S RECORD OF POLICE BRUTALITY AGAINST PEOPLE OF COLOR"
The City of Milwaukee, but also Wisconsin, a place where racial segregation, economic inequality and police brutality against people of color has long since been a problem.
Here are just a few of the people of color killed in police interactions in recent years:
In April, 25-year-old Joel Acevedo died days after an off-duty Milwaukee police officer put him in a 10-minute chokehold during a fight.
Mattioli was charged with first-degree reckless homicide.
In February, 17-year-old Alvin Cole was fatally shot while fleeing from police outside Mayfair Mall. Police say Cole shot first before officers returned fire. Wauwatosa Police released portions of dashcam footage, but were not equipped with body cameras. This was the third fatal shooting that the officer had been involved in. A charging decision has not yet been made.
On June 15, 2019, 18-year-old Ty’Rese West was fatally shot after a Mount Pleasant Police officer stopped West for not having a light on his bicycle and West fled. The officer claimed West had a gun. There was no body cam footage of the incident, and West’s fingerprints were never found on the gun. The Racine County DA said that the officer’s actions were justified.
In June 2017, 19-year-old Terry Williams was fatally shot by a Milwaukee County Sheriff's Deputy after reportedly attempting to flee from a traffic stop. The deputy fired eight time’s into Williams’ SUV. No charges were filed against the officer.
In May 2017, 22-year-old Adam Trammel died after West Milwaukee Police broke down the door to his apartment and Tasered him 18 times while he was showering. Trammel was pronounced dead when he arrived at the emergency room. The involved officers were not charged.
In August 2016, 23-year-old Sylville Smith was fatally shot by a Milwaukee Police Department officer seconds after body-camera video showed him throwing his weapon over a nearby fence.
The shooting led to days of protests in Milwaukee’s Sherman Park area. The officer was charged, but was eventually acquitted.
In June 2016, 25-year-old Jay Anderson Jr. was fatally shot by a Wauwatosa Police officer inside his parked car after the officer said that he saw a gun in the vehicle and Anderson kept reaching for it. Anderson was shot five times in the head. The officer, who was not charged, was not wearing a body camera at the time of the shooting.
In April 2014, 31-year-old unarmed Dontre Hamilton was fatally shot by a Milwaukee Police officer while he was sleeping in Red Arrow Park. Hamilton was shot 14 times. The involved officer was fired, but charged. The decision sparked rage in the community, and led to the Milwaukee Police Department being equipped with body cameras.
It is obvious by these, and countless other examples, that changes need to be made to the infrastructure of policing. In some of these examples, mental health was a major factor.
A call has been made to ‘defund’ the police, but ‘defund’ is a largely misunderstood word.
Defunding doesn’t mean eliminating the police department. It means looking at the role police currently play in society, and reallocating resources to include counselors, social workers and other entities who are more suited to deal with the situations that police are involved in each day. Situations, that all too often, result in the death of people of color.

2.) Crooked ‘Punisher’ Cops Rumored to Haunt Milwaukee Streets
Newly released documents from the Milwaukee, Wisconsin police department reveal that authoriti have investigated reports of the existence and activities of a "gang" of rogue police officers kno as the Punishers that may have been operating ir the city since at least 2005.
They are alleged to W black gloves, caps and tattoos brandishing skull emblems, inspired by the Marvel Comics vigilante Some of the policemen in question were involved the beating of Frank Jude, Jr. in 2004 and were convicted of civil rights violations and fired.
However, documents released as part of Jude's c action against the city and his attackers reveal thi the Punishers may have remained active through 2008 despite having been stripped of their police authority.
Police reports indicate Captain James Galezewski investigated the Punishers once in 2005 and again in 2007, and identified them as a real threat and that there may have been more than just those involved in the Jude affair. Galezewski wrote in his report:
"This is a group of rogue officers within our agency who I would characterize as brutal and abusive. At least some of the officers involved in the Jude case were associated with this group, although there is reason to believe the membership extended beyond those who were convicted in the case."
Milwaukee's Journal Sentinal reports that beyond the firing of the officers involved with the Jude case, little else was done with respect to the Punishers.
The authority responsible for professional performance did not mention the group in its 82-page report on the beating, and the commander in charge of a new 2008 investigation said he could not confirm the group existed.
However, Galezewski said he was never contacted about his earlier investigations for the 2008 report. Additionally, federal prosecutors did not mention the Punishers in the Jude trial. Assistant U.S. Attorney Mel Johnson told the Journal Sentinal, "We made a conscious decision not to use [the Punishers evidence]."
Chief Flynn's remarks suggest he is only vaguely aware of Galezewski's reports, in which the Captain was emphatic about the Punishers' existence and the threat they represented to the department. "I am frankly alarmed that a group of officers might think of themselves in this light," Galezewski wrote. "I think a group like that, anything they stand for is pretty much outrageous. It shouldn't have any place in the Milwaukee Police Department."
At least one member of the Punishers identified by Galezewski remains on the force, a man who wears a Punisher skull tattoo.
"He is sending a clear message that he has every intention of exercising his authority as a police officer in an inappropriate and abusive way, and in my judgment, it would be irresponsible to allow him that opportunity."

How Wisconsin is weeding out bad cops
* Police agencies must now report to the state when officers resign amid an internal investigation, quit in lieu of termination or are fired for cause.
* The change is aimed at identifying officers who switch jobs or hop around to different agencies after committing or being accused of wrongdoing.
* An expert on police discipline called the move a "good start" but said Wisconsin could do more to screen out bad cops.

Wisconsin communities see uptick in white supremacist activity
Incidents in Waukesha, West Allis, Wauwatosa and Milwaukee latest chapters in long history
BY: ISIAH HOLMES - APRIL 11, 2022 6:30 AM
“In late March, a banner reading “Resist Black Terror” was hung from the Waukesha Transit Center’s parking garage. Quotes from Adolph Hitler were allegedly featured on the banner calling for a new nation for “only white people(s) of good stock,” and promoting a website linked to a recognized white supremacist group. Exactly who was responsible remains unclear, as local media were asked to not publish the group’s website after the banner was taken down. The incident confronted local officials with what appears to be a growing undercurrent of white supremacist activity in the area, and this phenomenon is not unique to Waukesha.
The last two years has seen a resurgence of seemingly organized white supremacist activity in the areas surrounding Milwaukee. In Waukesha, such groups have ridden a wave of anger and mourning around the Christmas parade tragedy. Six people were killed and dozens more hospitalized after an SUV plowed through Waukesha’s annual Christmas parade.
Police quickly arrested the driver, 39-year-old Darrell Brooks of Milwaukee, for the act. Brooks, who is Black, had been released on a low bail before the parade tragedy, a point which many Republican legislators used to blast the city of Milwaukee, District Attorney John Chisholm, and criminal justice reform policies.”
