Hattie M. Carstens was a beloved activist who served a variety of social causes in Detroit until her death in 1915. This school, designed by the firm Malcomson & Higginbotham, opened on Coplin Street and East Vernor Highway a year later and named in her honor.

The three-story school has an F-shaped floor plan, the result of additions in 1919 and 1921. This made it fairly large for an elementary school, with 29 standard classrooms in addition to a library, kindergarten and four large specialty rooms. The building is also rather unusual among Detroit schools for its raised, fenestrated basement level, which is sunken half a level below. The front façade faces southwest onto Coplin Avenue, and the school sits in the middle of an entire 5-acre city block, just north of Vernor Highway.

The school is considered an outstanding example of the Arts and Crafts style that was popular in the early 1900s. This can best be seen in Carstens' decorative brick detail and tile and terra cotta that is focused around the central entrance and between floors. Malcomson & Higginbotham designed a handful of other schools in this style during this time period - Nichols School (1910), Breitmeyer School (1915) and Harms School (1917). Nichols and Harms are still in use; Breitmeyer was demolished in 2010. But the 1920s saw a shift in the design of educational buildings in the city, with a firm shift toward the Collegiate Gothic found at the great educational institutions of England. This makes schools of this style rare in Detroit.

An addition in 1919 added six homerooms, a gymnasium and an auditorium, and another addition two years later tacked on another nine classrooms.

The Herbert M. Rich School, named after a secretary of the Detroit Tuberculosis Society, was built in 1927 on the grounds of Carstens. That building was demolished at some point; it was a four-room bungalow-type structure with a dormitory.

In 1957, Carstens was converted into a unit for girls enrolled in the special education program, and opened the following year. Several basement classrooms were added in the late 1950s or early '60s.

The school continued serving the east side for the next half century. However, the Fox Creek neighborhood saw considerable decline and disinvestment during that time. Nevertheless, Carstens remained a high-performing school. staff went above and beyond to help their students. As Detroit URBEX wrote, "After several students were hospitalized with severe lead poisoning, Carstens began an outreach program educating families in the neighborhood about the dangers of lead paint in older houses. When teachers found out that many students were going hungry during weekends, they made extra meals for them to take home. A New York Times article noted 'to have more money for instruction, teachers sit with students at lunch, saving the school from having to hire lunchroom aides. Teachers hold jacket and shoe drives for children who have no winter coats and come to school in slippers. At Thanksgiving every child goes home with a frozen turkey donated by a local businessman. Twice a year a bus carrying a portable dentist’s office arrives, and a clinic is set up at the school so children can get their teeth checked.'”

However, as Detroit's population continued to decline, so did Carstens' enrollment, with the school losing more than half of its population between 1998 and 2007. In March of 2010, the district proposed closing Carstens Elementary, citing the loss of students and the $3 million in repairs the aging building needed. Parents fought to keep Carstens open and helped win it a temporary reprieve - but that stay of closure lasted only a year.

In 2011, Carstens was closed and merged with nearby Remus Robinson Middle School, making Carstens one of a staggering 195 public schools closed in the city between 2000 and 2015. Three years later, Carstens was among 57 closed Detroit Public Schools (DPS) properties given to the City of Detroit in exchange for forgiving millions of dollars in DPS' unpaid electrical bills. Sadly, the building has not faired well since closure, with major roof failure causing significant water damage throughout.

The City released a report in 2021 that offered potential developers insight into the structural integrity and floor plans of more than 60 vacant schools - 39 owned by the City and two dozen still owned by the school district. The effort was not only to take inventory of the dozens of vacant schools dotting the city, but also to incentivize redevelopment of the structures by reducing the upfront costs through the assessments provided. Given the roof failures and decade of decline, the City estimated that a renovation of Carstens would cost around $16.2 million, depending on use.

Carstens is located in Detroit's Fox Creek neighborhood, one that has seen more than its share of challenges and demolitions. The school is surrounded by vacant fields - and is home to one of the largest concentrations of vacant land and City-owned properties. Given the costs and challenges of redeveloping a school that's been vacant for more than a decade, this makes finding a savior for Carstens, no matter how beautiful the building is, sadly unlikely.

A Detroit Black History Month Perspective - New Detroit

In 1914, Henry Ford decided to pay his workers, through a profit-sharing plan, $5.00 a day to stabilize a volatile workforce. When he makes this decision, his workforce of 14,000 at his Highland Park plant is 75% white foreign-born. At the time, Ford, like all automobile manufacturers, refused to hire Black people. From 1914 to 1917, Ford only employed about 200 Black workers, mostly janitors, out of 15,000 workers at his Highland Park plant.

By 1917, the first significant migration of African Americans from the South is well underway, with 25,000 blacks arriving in Detroit. At this time, other than a few janitors, Ford does not hire Black employees; therefore, we must conclude the notion that Black workers came to Detroit because of the $5.00 a day job at Ford is not entirely accurate. A closer look reveals racism is pushing Black families out of the South and they are not coming North solely for jobs.

Black families are leaving the South because of oppression and racism. The generation that is coming are the children of enslaved people. Unlike their parents, they are unwilling to tolerate the lynching, the denial of education, basic decency and respect in their daily lives, so they head to Northern cities, including Detroit.

However, in 1917, Ford dramatically changed his exclusionary hiring policies, not for altruistic reasons, but purely for economic gain. Ford is challenged with building the massive Ford Rouge Plant, his growing debt to minority stockholders, the formidable IRS, and his mostly European immigrant workforce is pushing for unions.

Fearing a loss of control over his workforce, Ford turns to Black and white workers from the South. Ford would come to view Black employees as the ideal workforce. Black residents needed jobs; they had no interest in unions because white unions had excluded them, so in the 1920s, Ford began to hire Black workers in large numbers.

By 1930, 100,000 people work at the massive Ford Rouge plant, and 10% (10,000) are Black. There are more Black employees at Ford than all of the other automobile manufacturers and their suppliers combined. With no formal education, Black Detroiters are probably making more money at that time than their peers around the world. Moreover, this workforce attracted other Black professionals from around the nation to Detroit, black lawyers, doctors, dentists, and educators, and as a result, there was the development of the Black business community – Paradise Valley. So, Ford’s business decision has a historical domino effect.

While this was progressive, the opportunity to obtain a job at Ford did not translate into a long-term wealth opportunity for the African American community as it did for white European immigrants and whites from the South. Ill-educated whites from Europe and the South were able to invest part of their wages from their auto jobs into buying their family home.

In Detroit, from 1923 to 1928, 50,000 new homes were built in the city of Detroit proper for white auto workers. Realtors refused to sell or rent any of these homes to Black residents. Black people in Detroit, regardless of their income or professional status, could not obtain a mortgage. For example, a white worker from Ford could obtain a mortgage before a Black schoolteacher could. Black workers were making more money than they had at any other time or place on earth; however, they could not obtain a mortgage for a home and build long-term wealth for their families. This provides us with insight into how businesses can have a powerful effect on addressing historical injustice.

On a smaller scale here in Detroit, the massive challenge still exists of providing an undereducated population of African Americans with good-paying jobs. If left unchecked, history will again repeat itself with the opening of the new FCA plant on Detroit’s eastside and the promise of nearly 5,000 jobs. Like the auto industry of the past, this project will bring suppliers and factories to the city, creating more jobs and the potential to spawn new business development.

However, without long-term vision and understanding history, FCA and similar ventures could, without intervention, stymie generational change. What is the vision for the eastside in housing, education, healthcare so this opportunity changes lives for the long-term?

I know personally how historical events can have long-term consequences and impact future generations. My father served in the Navy during World War II. In 1947, he came to Detroit from Mississippi; his family had been sharecroppers, cultivating cotton. He obtained a job at Chrysler Corporation, and for more than 30 years worked at the Jefferson Avenue plant. He married and had seven sons. Our family resided on the lower eastside of Detroit, a few blocks from the Belle Isle Bridge. Under our mother’s guidance, my brothers and I all attended the Detroit Public Schools and completed high school and went on to college.

Today, my brothers and I are nearing retirement. We have led very successful careers as an OB-GYN, an engineer, a dentist, an artist/museum specialist, an educator, and building contractor. Our oldest brother died in Vietnam (Navy) serving this nation.

All of our children have attended or are currently attending some of the leading colleges and universities in the nation. This was primarily made possible due to the opportunity our father had employed as a factory worker in the mid-1950s. The story of my family is not unique but was repeated throughout Detroit during the Post World War II period, and it is a historical narrative that provides a vision for the future.

Wikipedia on the Poisoned Candy Myth

In 1959, a California dentist, William Shyne, gave candy-coated laxative pills to trick-or-treaters. He was charged with outrage of public decency and unlawful dispensing of drugs. In 1964, a disgruntled Long Island, New York woman gave out packages of inedible objects to children who she believed were too old to be trick-or-treating. The packages contained items such as steel wool, dog biscuits, and ant buttons (which were clearly labeled with the word "poison"). Though nobody was injured, she was prosecuted and pleaded guilty to endangering children.

Only two credible incidents of candy tampering by strangers have ever been documented.

Accidental death: In 1970, Kevin Toston, a five-year-old boy from the Detroit area, died after finding and eating his uncle's heroin. The family attempted to protect the uncle by claiming the drug had been sprinkled in the child's Halloween candy. Murdered by father: In a 1974 case, an 8-year-old boy in Deer Park, Texas, died after eating a cyanide-laced package of Pixy Stix that his father had planted in this trick-or-treat pile. The father, Ronald Clark O'Bryan, also gave out poisoned candy to other children in an attempt to cover up the murder, though no other children consumed the poisoned treats. The murderer, who had wanted to claim life insurance money, was executed in 1984. Because the poisoned candy myth describes random or indiscriminate murders by strangers, rather than murder of a son by his own father, this is not technically an example of a poisoned candy myth.

Two instances of children eating poison. One as an accidential exposure and one as an intentional poisoning.

Natural death unrelated to candy: In 1978, Patrick Wiederhold, a two-year-old boy from Flint, Michigan died after eating Halloween candy. However, toxicology tests found no evidence of poison, and his death was determined to be due to natural causes. Natural death due to pre-existing medical condition: In 1990, Ariel Katz, a seven-year-old girl in Santa Monica, California, died while trick-or-treating. Early press reports blamed poisoned candy, despite her parents telling the police that she had previously been diagnosed with a serious medical condition, an enlarged heart, which was the actual cause of death. Natural death due to infection: In 2001, a four-year-old girl in Vancouver, British Columbia died after eating some Halloween candy. However, there was no evidence of poisoned candy, and she died of a streptococcus infection.

Three children who died of natural causes while happening to be trick-or-treating.

Almost all tampering cases—at a rate of one or two per year—involve a friend or family member, usually as a prank. Almost all of those involved sharp objects, rather than poisoning. Three-quarters of them resulted in no injuries, and the rest resulted in only minor injuries. No child has ever been killed by eating a Halloween candy from a stranger.

And the conclusion. Let me make the important part bigger for y'all.

No child has ever been killed by eating a Halloween candy from a stranger.

let me make it biggest actually.

No child has ever been killed by eating a Halloween candy from a stranger.

and quote it.

"No child has ever been killed by eating a Halloween candy from a stranger."

Do we understand yet?

Do we understand?

It's that time of the year where police departments start warning everyone about "drugs disguised as candy" for Halloween!

And while everyone's reaction is usually "haha they're so stupid lol!!" Let's not forget that this is one of the ways they transparently demonize addicts in order to keep the populace convinced that they are evil, horrible people that deserve to be locked up. They know that citizens will eventually start thinking "hey, they're really only hurting themselves, shouldn't they get help instead of being punished?" so in order to keep everyone comfortable with criminalizing drug addiction, they spread the idea that addicts have a secret agenda to turn EVERYONE into addicts, so they just *NEED* to keep them locked up.

"They're coming after our children! They're trying to turn our children into _____!" (Does that sound familiar?)

We need to go harder at humiliating these fuckers every year they keep trying to spread this bullshit.

Cases of Tampered Halloween Candy

In 1959, a California dentist, William Shyne, gave candy-coated laxative pills to trick-or-treaters. He was charged with outrage of public decency and unlawful dispensing of drugs.

In 1964, a disgruntled Long Island, New York woman gave out packages of inedible objects to children who she believed were too old to be trick-or-treating. The packages contained items such as steel wool, dog biscuits, and ant buttons (which were clearly labeled with the word "poison"). Though nobody was injured, she was prosecuted and pleaded guilty to endangering children. The same year saw media reports of lye-filled bubble gum being handed out in Detroit and rat poison being given in Philadelphia, although these media reports were never substantiated to be actual events.

On Oct. 31st, 1974, neighbors O’Bryan and Jim Bates, of Deer Park, Texas, took their children out trick-or-treating. Bates’ job was to wait on the sidewalk while O’Bryan escorted the trick-or-treaters to the front door of neighborhood houses. At one point, O’Bryan disappeared briefly behind a shadowy part of the front porch, then emerged holding five large Pixie Stixx filled with flavored sugar. While no one else saw the homeowners, O’Bryan claimed that the residents of the house had cracked the door open and given him giant Pixie Styx to distribute to the children. Later that night, O’Bryan dialled 911, stating that his son had apparently eaten poisoned candy. In spite of the paramedics’ best efforts, eight year old Timothy O’Brien died later that night. An investigation revealed that the cause of death was cyanide-laced candy. The murderer? Timothy’s father, who decided to sacrifice his son in exchange for a $40,000 life insurance payoff. O'Bryan also passed the poisoned Pixie Stixx to at least four other children, including his 5-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, in an attempt to make the urban legend come to life. Miraculously the remaining tampered candy was confiscated before any other children ingested it.

Reports and copycat incidents peaked shortly after the Chicago Tylenol murders, which were first reported one month before Halloween in 1982. This incident involved a murderer who added poison to a few bottles of over-the-counter medication after the medication had been delivered to stores including possible Halloween candy tampering. 

In 2000, James Joseph Smith of Minneapolis handed out candy he had poked needles into, but none of his victims were seriously injured, with just one 14-year-old boy pricked by a needle but not badly enough to seek medical attention. As NBC News reported, Smith was charged with one count of adulterating a substance with intent to cause death, harm, or illness.

In 2019, a Connecticut man was arrested after children found razor blades inside a trick-or-treat bag

Florence Price

Florence Beatrice Price (née Smith; April 9, 1887 – June 3, 1953) was an African-American classical composer, pianist, organist and music teacher. Price is noted as the first African-American woman to be recognized as a symphonic composer, and the first to have a composition played by a major orchestra.

Biography

Early Life

She was born as Florence Beatrice Smith to Florence (Gulliver) and James H. Smith on April 9, 1887, in Little Rock, Arkansas, one of three children in a mixed-race family. Despite racial issues of the era, her family was well respected and did well within their community. Her father was a dentist and her mother was a music teacher who guided Florence's early musical training. She had her first piano performance at the age of four and had her first composition published at the age of 11.

By the time she was 14, Florence had graduated as valedictorian of her class. After high school, she later enrolled in the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, Massachusetts with a major in piano and organ. Initially, she identified as Mexican to avoid the prejudice people had toward African Americans at the time. At the Conservatory, she studied composition and counterpoint with composers George Chadwick and Frederick Converse. Also while there, Smith wrote her first string trio and symphony. She graduated in 1906 with honors, and with both an artist diploma in organ and a teaching certificate.

Career

Smith returned to Arkansas, where she taught briefly before moving to Atlanta, Georgia, in 1910. There she became the head of the music department of what is now Clark Atlanta University, a historically black college. In 1912, she married Thomas J. Price, a lawyer. She moved back to Little Rock, Arkansas, where he had his practice. After a series of racial incidents in Little Rock, particularly a lynching of a black man in 1927, the Price family decided to leave. Like many black families living in the Deep South, they moved north in the Great Migration to escape Jim Crow conditions, and settled in Chicago, a major industrial city.

There Florence Price began a new and fulfilling period in her composition career. She studied composition, orchestration, and organ with the leading teachers in the city, including Arthur Olaf Andersen, Carl Busch, Wesley La Violette, and Leo Sowerby. She published four pieces for piano in 1928. While in Chicago, Price was at various times enrolled at the Chicago Musical College, Chicago Teacher’s College, University of Chicago, and American Conservatory of Music, studying languages and liberal arts subjects as well as music. Financial struggles and abuse by her husband resulted in Price getting a divorce in 1931. She became a single mother to her two daughters. To make ends meet, she worked as an organist for silent film screenings and composed songs for radio ads under a pen name. During this time, Price lived with friends. She eventually moved in with her student and friend, Margaret Bonds, also a black pianist and composer. This friendship connected Price with writer Langston Hughes and contralto Marian Anderson, both prominent figures in the art world who aided in Price's future success as a composer.

Together, Price and Bonds began to achieve national recognition for their compositions and performances. In 1932, both Price and Bonds submitted compositions for the Wanamaker Foundation Awards. Price won first prize with her Symphony in E minor, and third for her Piano Sonata, earning her a $500 prize. (Bonds came in first place in the song category, with a song entitled "Sea Ghost.") The Chicago Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Frederick Stock, premiered the Symphony on June 15, 1933, making Price’s piece the first composition by an African-American woman to be played by a major orchestra.

A number of Price's other orchestral works were played by the WPA Symphony Orchestra of Detroit, the Chicago Women’s Symphony, and the Women's Symphony Orchestra of Chicago. Price wrote other extended works for orchestra, chamber works, art songs, works for violin, organ anthems, piano pieces, spiritual arrangements, four symphonies, three piano concertos, and a violin concerto. Some of her more popular works are: "Three Little Negro Dances," "Songs to a Dark Virgin", "My Soul's Been Anchored in the Lord" for piano or orchestra and voice, and "Moon Bridge". Price made considerable use of characteristic African-American melodies and rhythms in many of her works. Her Concert Overture on Negro Spirituals, Symphony in E minor, and Negro Folksongs in Counterpoint for string quartet, all serve as excellent examples of her idiomatic work. Price was inducted into the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers in 1940 for her work as a composer. In 1949, Price published two of her spiritual arrangements, "I Am Bound for the Kingdom," and "I'm Workin’ on My Buildin'", and dedicated them to Marian Anderson, who performed them on a regular basis.

Personal life and death

In 1912, Price married attorney Thomas J. Price upon returning to Arkansas from Atlanta. Together, they had two daughters and a son; Florence (d. 1975), Edith and Thomas Jr. The Price children were raised in Chicago. Florence Price divorced Thomas Price in January 1931, and on February 14, 1931, she married the widower Pusey Dell Arnett (1875-1957), an insurance agent and former baseball player for the Chicago Unions some thirteen years her senior. She and Arnett were separated by April 1934; they apparently never divorced. On June 3, 1953, Price died from a stroke in Chicago, Illinois, at age 66.

Rediscovery of works

Following her death, much of her work was overshadowed as new musical styles emerged that fit the changing tastes of modern society. Some of her work was lost, but as more African-American and female composers have gained attention for their works, so has Price. In 2001, the Women's Philharmonic created an album of some of her work. Pianist Karen Walwyn and The New Black Repertory Ensemble performed Price's Concerto in One Movement and Symphony in E minor in December 2011.

In 2009, a substantial collection of her works and papers were found in an abandoned dilapidated house on the outskirts of St. Anne, Illinois. These consisted of dozens of her scores, including her two violin concertos and her fourth symphony. As Alex Ross stated in The New Yorker in February 2018, "not only did Price fail to enter the canon; a large quantity of her music came perilously close to obliteration. That run-down house in St. Anne is a potent symbol of how a country can forget its cultural history."

In November 2018, the New York-based firm of G. Schirmer announced that it had acquired the exclusive worldwide rights to Florence Price's complete catalog.

Composition style

Even though her training was steeped in European tradition, Price's music consists of mostly the American idiom and reveals her Southern roots. She wrote with a vernacular style, using sounds and ideas that fit the reality of urban society. Being deeply religious, she frequently used the music of the African-American church as material for her arrangements. At the urging of her mentor George Whitefield Chadwick, Price began to incorporate elements of African-American spirituals, emphasizing the rhythm and syncopation of the spirituals rather than just using the text. Her melodies were blues-inspired and mixed with more traditional, European Romantic techniques. The weaving of tradition and modernism reflected the way life was for African Americans in large cities at the time.

Legacy and honors

In 1964, the Chicago Public Schools opened Florence B. Price Elementary School (also known Price Lit & Writing Elementary School) at 4351 South Drexel Boulevard in the North Kenwood neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois in her honor. Price student body was predominately African-American. The school operated from 1964 until the school district decided to phase it out in 2011 due to poor academic performance which ultimately led to its closing in 2013. The school housed a piano owned by Price. The school building currently houses a local church as of 2019. In February 2019, The University of Arkansas Honors College held a concert honoring Price. In October 2019, the International Florence Price Festival announced that its inaugural gathering celebrating Price's music and legacy would take place at the University of Maryland School of Music in August 2020.

Meet Dr. Susan J. Cleereman

Susan J. Cleereman, DDS

Dr. Cleereman graduated from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry in 1986. For 23 years, she served in the Michigan Air National Guard. In December 2009, she retired as a Lieutenant Colonel. While she was in the Guard, she went on several humanitarian medical missions to Honduras (three times), Panama, Ghana, Guyana, Latvia, and the Hoopa Indian Reservation in Northern California. 

In 2009, she was awarded the Michigan Dental Association Dentist Citizen of the Year award, as a result of her military humanitarian missions. Dr. Cleereman purchased Wyandotte Family Dental from Dr. Wojewodzic in June 2008. What impressed her most about the office was that the patients were like family. The entire team believes in building relationships with one another and with the patients. This makes dentistry a pleasant and rewarding experience. 

Dr. Cleereman is a member of the American Dental Association, the Michigan Dental Association, the Detroit District Dental Society, Kiwanis Intertnational, and the Packard Club. She lives in Dearborn, Michigan, with her husband, Joel, and “Smokey,” the cat. She lives in a Ford home that was built in 1919. She has four children and 10 grandchildren. In her spare time, she reads, sews, paints, and works on the historic home.

Ossian Sweet (October 30, 1895 – March 20, 1960) was an American physician. He is most notable for his self-defense in 1925 of his newly purchased home in a white neighborhood against a mob attempting to force him out of the neighborhood in Detroit, Michigan, and the subsequent acquittal by an all-white jury of murder charges against him, his family, and friends who helped defend his home, in what came to be known as the Sweet Trials.

Physician Ossian Haven Sweet was born on October 30, 1895 in Orlando, Florida, the son of Henry Sweet, a Methodist minister and farmer, and Dora DeVaughn. He was the second of nine children (one of whom, his older brother Oscar, died in childhood). In 1910 he journeyed to Xenia, Ohio, to attend Wilberforce Academy and complete his schooling. He graduated with a college degree in 1917. That September he enrolled in the medical school at Howard University. In 1921 he received his medical degree and moved to Detroit, Michigan, a fast-growing city with plenty of opportunities for a new physician, to establish his fledgling medical practice. In 1922 he married Gladys Mitchell, who was from an established family in Detroit. For their honeymoon the Sweets traveled to Europe for a year of study and touring. After taking graduate courses in pediatrics and gynecology at the University of Vienna during 1923, Sweet journeyed to Paris to study radiology at the Curie Institute. The next year, while in Paris, the Sweets' daughter Marguerite was born (the year before they had lost a son through miscarriage). In the fall of 1924 they returned to Detroit and moved in with Gladys's mother.

Ossian Sweet soon sought better housing for his new family, and in the summer of 1925 purchased a house at 2905 Garland Avenue in a lower-middle-class white area in northeastern Detroit. The choice of neighborhood for Sweet, who was African American, was fateful. Detroit's African American population had increased nearly tenfold during the previous decade, spurred by wartime production and the new automobile industry. Some of Detroit's whites reacted with dismay and, stirred up by an active Ku Klux Klan, with violence. Whites had already forced several African American families to leave homes in formerly white neighborhoods. Rocks had been thrown and shots were fired, but so far no one had died from these incidents. By the time Sweet moved into his home in early September, whites in the area had formed a "Waterworks Park Improvement Association" dedicated to blocking any African American encroachment into the Garland Avenue area.

On September 8,1925, Ossian Sweet, his wife, his two brothers--Henry, a law student, and Otis, a dentist--along with seven other friends moved Sweet's few pieces of furniture into his new house on Garland Avenue. Along with the furniture, Sweet brought a supply of guns and ammunition to his new house. That night a crowd taunted the Sweets, but nothing much happened. The next morning, however, a crowd of whites began to congregate across the street from the house. How many were in the crowd became a matter of debate, but it could have been as many as four or five hundred people. As evening fell, rocks and stones struck the house and windows were shattered. Suddenly, several shots came from the Sweet house. Across the street Leon Breiner fell dead--shot in the back--while standing on the front door of a neighbor's house, and another man, Eric Houghberg, received a bullet wound in his leg. The police, who had been keeping watch over the house, immediately arrested Sweet, his wife, and his companions, denied them access to legal counsel, and tossed them in the city jail. They were all charged with assault, murder, and conspiracy to commit murder, and they were denied bail.

James Weldon Johnson, the executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, quickly saw that the Sweet case had national implications for African American home-ownership rights. Johnson dispatched his assistant, Walter White, to convince Clarence Darrow to serve as lead defense attorney. Darrow, who had made his fame fighting prominent civil liberties cases, readily took on this new assignment, although he was sixty-eight and still tired from the recent Scopes trial in Tennessee. He was assisted by Arthur Garfield Hays, another well-known civil rights attorney who had labored with Darrow in Tennessee, along with several African American lawyers from Detroit. The prosecution was led by the district attorney, Robert M. Toms, and his assistant, Lester S. Moll. The trial, which began on 30 October 1925, was presided over by thirty-five-year-old Frank Murphy, who would later serve as mayor of Detroit, governor of Michigan, and associate justice of the Supreme Court.

The trial before an all-white jury lasted most of November 1925, with a parade of witnesses on both sides. The prosecution called over seventy individuals to the stand in an effort to argue that the crowd outside the house was quite small and peaceful. Darrow countered that if the legal definition of a mob was twenty-five people, the seventy witnesses clearly demonstrated that a much larger group was probably in attendance that night. The crux of the issue centered on two basic questions: Did Ossian Sweet and his companions fear for their lives? And did any man, white or black, have the right to defend his home from perceived attack? The prosecution argued that, threatened or not, Sweet and his companions did not have the right to shoot unarmed people. As the trial approached its climax, Ossian Sweet was called to the stand, where his calm testimony proved crucial to the eventual outcome:

When I opened the door and saw that mob, I realized in a way that it was that same mob that had hounded my people through its entire history. I realized my back was against the wall and I was filled with a peculiar type of fear--the fear of one who knows the history of my race.

Despite deliberating for over forty-six hours, the jury could not agree on a verdict, and Judge Murphy declared a mistrial. Henry Sweet was subsequently tried separately and acquitted of all charges, and by May 1926 the charges against the rest of the defendants had been dropped. Although the Sweet trial ended in victory for Sweet, efforts to restrict African American home ownership by various legal means continued unabated throughout the United States until the Supreme Court declared such practices illegal in Shelley v. Kraemer (1948).

For Ossian Sweet, his acquittal was bittersweet. He returned to his bungalow on Garland Avenue and his medical practice, but he suffered the loss of his daughter in 1926 from tuberculosis. The same disease claimed Gladys, at the age of twenty-seven, in 1928. Ossian later purchased a small drugstore and managed several small hospitals. He married twice more, but each one ended in divorce. Turning to politics, he unsuccessfully sought election to the state senate, and another time he tried--again without success--for a seat in the U.S. Congress. Finally, in ill health with acute arthritis and in debt from failed businesses, he took his own life.

September 29, 2019

CLICK HERE for the September 29, 2019 playlist

1. Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever - “Sick Bug” (2017)

One of a seemingly endless string of quality indie rock bands that pour out of Melbourne, Australia year after year.  Three vocalists that all kind of sound the same and trade lines seemingly arbitrarily.  They put out a great album last year, but this song comes from an EP that came out a year before.  Saw them at Terminal West last year, and the drummer had to keep playing on his knees between songs to keep the blood flowing for the unrelenting pulse beat.  It was killer.

2. The Dentists - “I’m Not The Devil” (1985)

Band from Medway, Kent that added a 60′s psych flair to a sort of early indie-pop sound.  That’s about all I know.  Reissued a couple of years ago by unstoppable Chicago powerhouse Trouble In Mind records.

3. The Toms - “You Must Have Crossed My Mind” (1979)

The Toms is the solo moniker of Tommy Marolda, a New Jersey recording engineer who I think may have had some sort of Bon Jovi connection at one point.  This is from his first, self-titled record, on which he played all the instruments and allegedly recorded and mixed the entire thing in a single weekend (no easy feat, particularly pre-Pro Tools) on a break from paying work.  Some obvious Beatles worship going on here, but glorious all the same.

4. Emitt Rhodes - “Fresh as a Daisy” (1970)

Speaking of obvious Beatles worship and self-recording... This comes from Emitt Rhodes’ self-titled, second album, which he recorded at home (against union rules at the time!), playing all instruments himself.  This whole album sounds like what I wish a contemporaneous Paul McCartney solo album would have sounded like.

5. Echo & The Bunnymen - “Never Stop (Discoteque)” (1983)

Ian McCulloch is my preferred British post-punk Ian -- sorry Joy Division.  This non-album single is maybe my favorite moment of theirs.  Check out this killer live video too. 

6. Francis Bebey - “The Coffee Cola Song” (1982)

One of my favorite discoveries during my time at WXDU, Francis Bebey spent time in Cameroon, France, and Ghana, writing, teaching and making idiosyncratic pop music.

7. Yamasuki - “Yama Yama” (1971)

At this point I can’t even remember how I got to this.  Two French dudes making their idea of “Eastern” music, sung by a children’s choir who may or may not be singing in actual Japanese?

8. Rexy - “Funky Butt” (1981)

I think if my kids were to write a song, they would probably call it Funky Butt.  Who knows why a grown-ass UK art student decided to name a song that, or to weirdly grunt her way through the song, but here we are.

9. Ruins - “Nice Song” (c. 1982-1984)

Italian experimental synth band that I first heard on one of the Minimal Wave Tapes compilations.  Apparently very tied in with the acadmic/visual art scene in Venice.

10. Craig Leon - “Region of Fleeing Civilians” (1982)

Producer who had a hand in the first albums by the Ramones, Suicide, and Blondie, and on the side made weird synth albums.

11. Denzel Curry (feat. Twelve’len and Goldlink) - “13LACK 13ALLOONS” (2018)

Florida rapper who the internet tells me makes “Soundcloud rap.”  I don’t know what that means, I just like this song.

12. Sampa the Great - “Final Form” (2019)

Another Melbourne-based artist, this Zambia-born artist just put out her first record on Ninja Tune, a label not usually known for hip-hop.  She’s apparently a big deal in Australia but just kind of stepping into the US.

13. Slum Village (feat. Busta Rhymes) - “What It’s All About” (1998)

Legendary producer Jay Dee/J Dilla got his start as one-third of this Detroit-based rap group.  This song features both production and a verse from Dilla, plus, of course, Busta Rhymes.

14. Damon Locks & Black Monument Ensemble - “The Colors That You Bring” (2019)

Damon Locks started his career as the frontman for Chicago’s Trenchmouth, a band which featured a pre-fame Fred Armisen on drums.  He’s now a sound artist in Chicago, and this comes from Where Future Unfolds, a live performance of a band he put together combining live music and samples of Civil Rights-era speeches.

15. Herbie Hancock - “Wiggle Waggle” (1969)

I never knew about this album, Fat Albert Rotunda, until Antarctica Starts Here, a reissue label run by the Superior Viaduct people, put it out last year.  Seems to be an anomaly in his catalog, wedged right at the end of the 60′s between his more traditional recordings and the fusion and experimental period in the 70′s.  It’s probably the most purely fun music he ever made.

16. Allen Toussaint - “What Do You Want the Girl to Do?” (1975)

Sort of ashamed to say I first heard this song when a band called Chesnut Station (a bunch of indie rock nerds from Chicago playing 60′s and 70′s pop and soul covers) closed their album In Your Living Room with it.  Glad I eventually heard the original--haven’t looked back since.

How to Pick the Best Pediatric Dentist

Young children's dental needs are attended to by a children's dentist. The only clients in this area of employment are kids. Consequently, this area of dentistry is crucial. Here are some recommendations for the top pediatric dentists. It's critical to select the best pediatric dentist if you want your children to be healthy. You may also enquire from them on their encounters with children's dentists. The advantages of selecting a pediatric dentist for your children will now be discussed.

Young patients must be taught proper dental hygiene by pediatric dentists. The child's teeth will be cleaned by the dentist to eliminate plaque and germs and to look for disease symptoms. Going to the dentist may be stressful for a young kid, but parents may lessen their dread by rewarding them afterward. Children may relax and feel at ease during visits to the dentist since pediatric dentists are typically entertaining. However, until their child has been acclimated to the dentist, parents shouldn't give up on them.

Pediatric dentists are taught to ease the process as much as possible for young patients. Children can be amused during dentist treatments with TVs as well. To keep kids happy, they can also employ bright décor or delicious cleaning products. Pediatric dentists are experts in caring for the dental health of kids with disabilities. You ought to pick someone who can relate to and understands these demands. These dentists have received training in how to treat young patients with kindness and sensitivity. They will be able to give each child the care they need on an individual basis.

A residency program and four years of dental school are required to become a pediatric dentist. In addition to providing dental treatment for your kid, your pediatric dentist will instruct you on the most effective ways to stop and cure tooth decay. Pediatric dentists can also advise parents to avoid bad dental practices. A dentist will also give patients dietary recommendations, emphasizing the things that will erode their enamel. Their permanent teeth's long-term growth may be harmed by this.

You may pick a pediatric dentist in your neighborhood who has a lot of expertise treating kids if you're seeking for one. Pediatric dentists practice in facilities that are furnished and equipped specifically for their patients' children. On the website of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, you may also locate dentists who specialize in pediatric dentistry. Finding the ideal dentist for your child is made easier by the website's wealth of useful tools. Pediatric dentist in medicine

Pediatric dentists have a lot of education and are authorized in each of the 50 states. These specialists go through an extra two to three years of pediatric dental training. Since they have a focus on treating children from infancy through puberty, they are better able to comprehend the requirements of their patients. Pediatric dentists should be members of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry since they specialize in treating children. They may keep abreast of new methods and procedures in this way.

Early in the 20th century, pediatric dentistry became a distinct field. In 1879, British dentist Robert Bunon published an essay titled Teeth Disease that pioneered serial extraction. Alfred C. Fones eventually came up with a strategy to train dental hygiene graduates in public schools. The first book on pediatric dentistry to be written in English was released by Minnie Evangeline Jordan. The Detroit Pedodontics Study Club, which subsequently evolved into the American Society of Dentistry for Children, was established in 1931 by Dr. Samuel D. Harris. Then comes the debut of the first toothbrush made with nylon bristles.

A pediatric dentist focuses on the oral health of kids and treats any oral and dental conditions that impact kids' teeth and gums. Pediatric dentists also tell parents about the value of fluoride treatments, dietary advice, habit counseling, and oral health. In order to stop tooth decay, pediatric dentists may also advise sealants. The development of your child's healthy teeth depends on receiving this dental treatment. The finest dentist will have the highest degree of education in addition to having experience working with kids.

A children's dentist may instruct you on how to wear a mouth guard for the protection of your kid and take the first x-rays of the child's mouth. Pediatric dentists are not only warm and welcoming, but they also care deeply about the treatment of children. Even better, a youngster can make friends with a pediatric dentist! Your kid will like it and form a relationship with their pediatric dentist. There is a strong need for the best pediatric dentists.

Ah, maybe you aren’t aware, but this myth is a long standing part of Halloween (in America at least) that has reached the point of being almost traditional. And I don’t mean it’s traditional to give kids things that are harmful for them. I mean it’s traditional for parents to get scared of the idea that people are going to give kids things that are harmful for them. The myth changes shape over the years. Parents have panicked over everything from razor blades in apples, to poisoned candy, to the most current non-extant threat of people giving their kids CBD or THC eatables.

The thing is though, it just doesn’t happen. There have been a few isolated cases... In 1959 Dr. William Shyne, a California dentist, handed out around 450 laxatives to unsuspecting trick-or-treaters on Halloween, giving birth to the threat of tampered Halloween candy which would spread into a mas panic inducing urban legend people still fear today.

In 1970 Kevin Trost, a five year old from Detroit, went into a coma and died on Nov 2nd. The cause of death was a suspected heroine overdose. The drug was found sprinkled on the child’s Halloween candy. However, Police later determined the child had accidentally ingested the heroine after finding his uncle’s stash. In an attempt to cover for the man, the family staged the tampered candy to try and fool authorities. It didn’t work. Sadly, news reports of the dangers of trick-or-treating had already aired before this information was uncovered and the myth grew.

In 1974 an 8 year old boy from Texas passed after consuming Pixy Stix laced with cyanide. The father, who had taken the son and a few of his friends out to trick-or-treat the night before, attempted to help police find the house where the Pixy Stix were given out. It only took a few days for investigators to locate the true culprit however. The boy’s own father. Not long before Halloween, the man had taken out life insurance policies on both of his children. He was said to have boasted to co-workers that his financial situation was about to take a turn for the better. The man, Ronald O’Bryan, was convicted and sentenced to death after a mere hour long jury deliberation. He was executed in 1984. 

These cases led to panic among parents throughout the 80’s, when the Satanic Panic really started to kick off and started the war against Halloween. Despite there being no recorded cases of death caused by poisoned candy from a stranger on Halloween, the myth continues to linger and is still perpetuated by the media. Several cases of child-death on Halloween were attributed to tampered candy on local news stations despite ultimately being due to natural causes or pre-existing conditions in the child’s health. Instances of needles or razors being detected were also discovered to be pranks perpetrated by the children who “found” the tainted treat to begin with.

But to this day, no one has ever been given poison, drugs, or harmful foreign objects by strangers on Halloween. The only thing that ever happened was that some dentist in the 50s made a bunch of kids crap their pants. But let’s face it... He was a dentist. They’re all sadists anyways. They get paid to rip your teeth out with pliers and then won’t even give you pain killers...

But with the war against Halloween continuing to this day, and panic making for great news, the media continues to propagate this myth and so now we have ABC News warning people about THC candy when in reality no one is going to give that shit away for free. They’re going to keep it for themselves.

Literally no one ever is gonna just give away their weed for free. Grow up
