Dr. Alex Gee sits down with County Supervisor Shelia Stubbs to her story of community leadership and how she sees the power of Black voters changing politics. Shelia is currently running for State Assembly in a historic race, with the primary on August 14. Hear how she plans to be the first person of color to be elected to the Wisconsin State Capitol. Shelia will inspire you to be involved in your community and be civically engaged in order to make a difference locally. Dr. Gee and Shelia discuss the recent American political climate and how black voters are positioned to shift the vote.

As an advocate, a neighborhood organizer, and an elected official Shelia Stubbs has helped enact criminal justice reform, created programs to involve young people in social change, championed initiatives to clean up Madison’s lakes and streams, fought for safer neighborhoods where all children thrive, increased funding for services for seniors and people with disabilities, worked to elect strong progressive candidates to office, and collaborated to bring expertise from the University of Wisconsin into the broader community. Shelia has been re-elected six times as the Dane County Supervisor.

This Is Why I Teach: Reflections From A Day Of Lecturing At Edgewood College’s Doctoral Program

January 31, 2018 by Alexander Gee

This past weekend, I spent time in my new role as a part time Adjunct Professor for Law and Partnerships 735 in the Edgewood College Doctoral Program. I had a lot of things to share about. Here’s a couple quotes. Check out my video for more!

“If the public squares function like private squares, then how do they really influence society? True community change for institutions begins with the individual’s understanding of where are they lacking, and where do they need stronger partnerships and relationships.”

“We’ve got to help individuals understand their needs for partnerships before they can lead a major institution into a partnership.”

The Hyperbole of MLK Day

January 15, 2018 by Alexander Gee

MLK after his release from Birmingham Jail in 1963.

Stay with me, please. I am not attempting to commit the civil rights equivalent of the unpardonable sin. I wish to make a point.

My love for MLK is undeniable.

I admired King on television as a child. I remember being sent home from kindergarten on Chicago’s westside the day he was assassinated. I watched the flames of looted buildings from our third floor apartment building windows as grief stricken (and some opportunistic) people torched Chicago’s busy streets.

Blacks asked…

“Who will lead our marches now?”

“Who could challenge local, state and federal leaders now?”

“Who’d fill the shoes of assuring our dignity and legacy as Black people now?”

Whites commented…

“He was so articulate!”

“He was the first Black we could follow”

“He could speak about voting rights for Black and still voice our ‘American’ concerns about the Viet Nam War!”

The world paused in mourning…and the hyperbole began.
