SUMMARY:NEW Location - History of Milwaukee County Behavioral Health Institute
DESCRIPTION:NEW Location: Wauwatosa Woman’s Club\, 1626 N Wauwatosa Ave \n\n\n\nJonathan Piel helps champion the preservation of the County Grounds Park by connecting people with its rich past as a historic place of healing for Milwaukee County’s mentally ill.  Jonathan addresses a very sensitive topic in accessible ways for people of all ages using first-hand accounts from historical administrators and patients.  Participants will come to appreciate the challenges of delivering humane care for the mentally ill from the 1860s forward – what we learned\, and what we’ve lost.  The presentation will include many historic photos\, maps\, and onsite 1950 film clips to tell the stories about daily life\, diving rafts\, and dolphins.  You’ll never look at Tosa’s County Grounds Park\, Sanctuary Woods\, or compassionate mental healthcare\, the same way again. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNon-Member Registration\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMember Registration \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Zeddie Hyler’s Quest for Equality in Wauwatosa
DESCRIPTION:Zeddie Hyler at his Wauwatosa Home. Photograph courtesy of the Milwaukee Journal. \nZeddie Quitman Hyler earned his bachelor’s degree\, left the unrelenting sun of the south\, and headed north as part of the Great Migration. Six million African Americans were part of this historic movement. \nDetermined not to view the color of his skin as a death sentence\, Hyler encouraged his siblings to join him\, worked as a postal clerk\, amassed properties\, and became a business leader. In 1955\, he was ready to build a family home in Wauwatosa. He faced repeated appearances before city fathers and denials of his request for a building permit. The tide turned when 39 Wauwatosa white women protested\, invoking the Bill of Rights. The Zeddie Quitman Hyler home is still standing and has received a historic designation. \nHyler’s niece\, Lora Hyler\, a filmmaker\, author\, essayist\, and podcaster will speak about her uncle’s legacy\, and status as the first African American to integrate Wauwatosa. \nADD REGISTRATION BUTTON HERE
