Trident and Smiles across America teamed up to help promote healthy mouths for Milwaukee children earlier this week. With the new partnership, Columbia St. Mary’s Smart Smiles Program will increase the number of children they see. Trident made a $1.5 million dollar, three-year commitment to the SAA program, an organization that supports dental services to over 250,000 annually in underserved communities nationwide.

Their campaign tactics were ugly. First up, Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Neumann visited City Hall in the morning, delivering one of his books, requesting that Mayor Barrett deliver to President Obama. A campaign book that he wrote that includes criticism on the president’s policies, and criticizing the train funding.

(NNPA) &#8211; Forty-seven years ago, our nation was in the midst of uncertainty, trepidation, fear, frustration, anger and unrest. Forty-seven years ago, we were simultaneously hopeful, dedicated, ambitious, determined and resilient.
Forty-seven years ago, people of all races gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. to urge their federal government to live up to the standards and ethos embodied in our Constitution.

(NNPA) &#8211; African Americans have always seen education as a key to life and freedom. In his autobiography Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave, Frederick Douglass taught us that to educate a man is to “forever unfit him to be a slave,” but to deny a person education is to “[shut him or her] up in mental darkness.” Douglass said that when his former master ordered his wife to stop teaching Douglass to read, he felt he was being treated “as though I ...]]></description>
