Slippery surfaces are perilous and must be avoided when possible. An unexpected fall or injury would surely spoil this winter for any of us. As a reminder, during bad winter weather New Haven residents can call 203-946-SNOW for information about closures and cancellations, and 203-946-8221 to report hazardous conditions. City residents can also report trouble spots at SeeClickFix.com. On February at the Ives Main Branch of the New Haven Free Public Library it will be ‘Mardi Gras’ in New Haven, from 5:30 until 9:30 p.m. This annual ‘masquerade madness’ – to benefit the library foundation, which helps underwrite library expenses – includes a New Haven version of the famous festival, and a silent auction as well. 9th And while it may be a cold, wintery February, there are many opportunities to maintain great spirits. February is Black History Month, and includes back-to-back holidays mid-month: Valentine’s Day on February 14th and then President’s Day on February 15th. And don’t forget this extra special occasion this month. Since 2016 is a leap year, we’ll have a February 29th for the first time since 2012 – a date some call ‘Sadie Hawkins Day. No matter what you call it, it’ll be a Monday – enjoy! Stay warm, stay dry, and stay healthy until then! With best wishes, Toni N. Harp, Mayor Mientras el tiempo va pasando es importante recordarle que sean cuidadosos cuando caminan en la nieve o en las condiciones resbalosas. Estos sititos resbalosos deben prevenirse como sea posible. Una caída inesperada podrá estropear la temporada del invierno.

Manténganse calientes, manténganse secos, y manténganse saludables! Deseándoles mucha suerte, Toni N. Harp, Alcaldesa o "WHY BLACK HISTORY MONTH?" Arlene Davis-Rudd, Commission on Aging Commissioner Dr. Carter G. Woodson (10/19/1875—4/03/1950) Dr. Benjamin Hooks (1/31/1925—4/15/2010) Travel with me as I search through decades of my personal archives, selecting the article, "Why Black History Month?" that was first written three decades ago. Authored by the brilliant, now deceased, former NAACP Executive Director, Dr. Benjamin Hooks, this article first appeared in their CRISIS Magazine, in which he was also the Editor. Let me add that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) will be celebrating its 107th Anniversary on February 12th. Following, are selected excerpts from the thought-provoking article from CRISIS Magazine, "Why Black History Month?" "Why black History Month or Week or why any special time set aside to reflect, study, or observe what has gone on before us in Black Life in this country? To ask the question, of course, is to answer it. For, if the history of Black people had been included in our text books in equitable fashion with White history. Since the beginning of our public school system, there will be no need to set aside time each year for our citizens, Black and White, Red and Yellow, rich and poor, or male and female, to observe it." "Nonetheless, I am tempted from time-to-time to query family, friends and associates, not rhetorically, but in a real sense to test, again, the validity of the assumption, and in so doing, gauge once more, how much or little we Blacks have narrowed the yawning gap of equity, justice and opportunity in this home of the brave and land of the free, and to attempt to drum up needed energy to continue the struggle. However, to look critically at our history once a year, is to invite pain as well as comfort. For so much of our history is awash with blood, agony, shattered lives and dreams of chains or chattel slavery, some of the worst the world has ever known." "In 1915, 101 years ago, it was Dr. Carter G. Woodson, a Black educator, historian and editor who organized the Association for The Study of Negro Life and History, and in order to popularize the Study of Negro History, in 1926, inaugurated Black History Week , which encompassed Abraham Lincoln's birthday and that of Fredrick Douglas." "Black History week grew because of a need and by popular demand it had expanded to Black History month. Dr. Woodson, who had received a PhD from Harvard University, knew that Blacks needed to understand their history in order to walk straight and proud as free men and women. He, also, knew that White people needed, even more, to know Black History in order to come to equitable terms with this minority in their midst." "Black History Month is here as a constant reminder, to them and to us, of what we have done, are doing, and must continue to do that is positive and uplifting. So let us keep engaging in and studying Black History, and in so doing, prepare ourselves for the future." o Atwater: Happy Birthday Alice Berman! Atwater: Dedication of Atwater’s Game Room to the late Gus Cuomo o Civil Rights Activist: Daniel “Danny” Gant By: Margery Mills Danny Gant is a relatively new member of the Dixwell-Newhallville Senior Club (he joined about a year ago) but it is not hard to pick him out here at the senior center. Danny is the one you will find wearing a colorful and flowing African designed garb and he seems to wear a different one every day. Another colorful part of Danny comes out in a story he relates about one part of his life which has a strong historical bearing. It starts in Buffalo, New York and over a half-century later continues on in New Haven. Born in Buffalo, Danny said as a youth he was on that rough road leading to nothing but trouble and thought it best to leave town in order to keep himself on the straight and narrow. In 1956, age 23, he moved to Providence, Rhode Island and right away got into trouble, “by accident,” he emphasized. Accused of assault at a haberdashery store, he was arrested, landed in jail and ended up on the evening television news. Instead of it being an end, it was the beginning of a sojourn which took him from a troubled youth to almost a lifetime of being a civil rights worker. A representative from CORE (Congress of Racial Equality) saw his story on the news and with the help of a lawyer got Danny out of jail. In gratitude, Danny asked him what he could do to thank him for getting him out. “Join my organization,” he told me. “And I did and I never looked back.” CORE’s main concern was in working for equal rights for African Americans. Voter registration, discrimination issues in employment, education, and housing were some of the issues and they also worked closely with the Urban League. Danny started with CORE first working in a small office compiling names of people interested in joining, then moving on up to becoming a Chapter Chairman. From Chapter Chairman he moved up to Field Secretary for the North Eastern Region and that meant he would get calls from the National Office in New York to go to different troubled spots anywhere in the country which might need help in integrating schools or hotels or whatever trouble was happening. In 1965 he was sent to Baltimore to help with a youth training program and a school to train troubled youth in job skills and in getting their GED. (Story Continued on the Next Page) Ato the National Convention in Baltimore, he met James Farmer, Roy Innis, Lincoln Lynch, the hierarchy of CORE. In 1968 he was sent from Baltimore to New York as Field Secretary and for one whole year leaving on January 3 and returning on December 23, he was away and in the field, moving from one place to another which might involve organizing rallies, seminars, being a public speaker wherever in the country he was needed. He recalls one unforgettable and scary voter registration dispute which took place in Biloxi, Mississippi. Around 1959 or 1960 he along with others were arrested and put in jail for trying to get African Americans registered to vote. The good news is that they won their case and those disenfranchised were able to vote. But the bad news was that after being released from jail, he was not permitted to leave Biloxi as he and others were to be served with additional warrants and might face more jail time. Even though he was watched closely to prevent him from leaving, Danny told how he managed to escape by hiding in a hearse to avoid being seen and was able to get to the airport and get out of Biloxi. He went on freedom marches all over the country including the famous 1963 March on Washington. Danny worked as Field Secretary until 1972 when he decided it was time to call it a day. By then, he said, “I was tired.” What brought him to New Haven? He explained how he was living alone at the time in Brooklyn, in BedfordStuyvesant “Bed-Stye,” New York and working with the United States Amateur Boxing Federation as a referee which is something he still does. My son and daughter live in New Haven and he said they “begged me to move here to New Haven.” That was in 2014. Shortly after moving, he joined the Dixwell-Newhallville Senior Center where he is a very active member joining in club activities. One of them is being a member of the DixwellNewhallville Senior Theater Club where he has already been seen in a performance and is busy rehearsing for another. What else is he doing? Well, Danny is busy working on finishing a book about his life, so the rest of his story will be told.

I have served as a public servant for a majority of his life. My public servant work began as a junior counselor at a drug and alcohol program in upstate Pennsylvania. It was the first program of its kind. The program dealt with people who were battling drug and alcohol problems. After leaving there I went to Atlantic City, NJ to a program called, "Addiction Research Program". There I worked tirelessly helping people to get off and stay off of their addictions. During that period I had an 85% success rate. Later, I left the “Addiction Research Program” to work in another drug and alcohol program––this time I became a Behavioral Therapist. Prior to and including now I am a referee for the Amateur Boxing Federation. We take children all over the world to enhance their boxing skills. We traveled to places such as: the Bahamas, Brazil, Germany, England and West Africa. While in West Africa, I developed an appreciation and a deep love for wearing African printed cloths. I traveled to Ghana, West Africa and fell in love with the people, the Ghanaian culture and the town. My connection to Ghana was immense, and as a result, I became a dual citizen to help the young boxers remain in school. I encouraged financial independence amongst my students; I was passionate about motivating them to become entrepreneurs as opposed to finding a job immediately after graduating from school. I intend to go back and stay at least three months so I may be a pillar of our society. I have coined Ghana as my native home. Not only can I share my African heritage, but I also vowed to only wear African garments, frequently. To date, I have been wearing African cloth for over 30 years. I am a civil rights activist. I have marched with Dr. James Farmer, Stokely Carmichael and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. During the pinnacle of my civil rights activity, I had the pleasure of meeting Fannie Lou Hamer and Maya Angelou. They helped mold me into the person I am today. I am in the process in writing a book that is projected to be in circulation between January 2016 and December 2016.
