The Teaching Press is proud to promote community storytelling, advocacy, and literacy with our forthcoming release, Equality Now Project: Words of Advocacy, Injustice, and Celebration of Identities by HSED Students from Literacy Services of Wisconsin. 

In the words of educator Kathrine Yets, the goal of this project is “to recognize these diverse voices. They are brilliant and they have the power to change the world.”

In this collection of essays, artwork, and poetry,  Milwaukee-area writers, aged 19-60 years old, lift their voices to speak about racism, sexism, poverty, self-discovery, and the need for advocacy. Through the individuality of these authors, a diverse community emerges—one that is willing and capable of taking hold of their future and pushing toward equality for all.

Now on Sale: The Golden Age of Brown County Enterprise, by Phil Hauck

Did you know northeast Wisconsin was once one of the preeminent business communities in the United States?

It’s true. In the 1980s and 90s, companies like Krueger International, Fort Howard Paper Company, Schneider National and Schreiber Foods were leaders in innovation, creative solutions and cutting-edge technology, unlike anyone else in the U.S.  In this re-issue of The Golden Age of Brown County Enterprise, author Phil Hauck outlines these historic and successful business strategies through interviews with local industry leaders, showcasing the  incredible success of businesses whose names are part of the bedrock of the community.

Phil Hauck was a former writer for the Wall Street Journal who spent thirty years facilitating CEO Groups for The Executive Committee and its successor, Vistage, as well as a Senior Marketing/Sales Executive group.

The Teaching Press was saddened to learn of Phil’s passing in late 2023, and we’re proud to be reissuing his book. In keeping with the family’s wishes, proceeds will support student learning at The Teaching Press— a small and innovative Green Bay business  in its  own right,  for which Phil Hauck raised funding, awareness, and support.

Description

“A shadow in the dark corner of the room moved. Slowly a woman walked toward us. Tears streamed down her face. She pointed toward me and spoke to May Lee in Hmong. This is what she said.

‘Please give me the words to speak my grief.’”

When Sandra Shackelford, an artist and documentarian, heard these words while working for Northeast Wisconsin Technical College’s High Risk Family Support Program, she knew she was about to begin a decades-long project to preserve the words of the Hmong people living in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Forced to flee from their homes in Laos to escape a secret holocaust, the Hmong people have found refuge in America for the past fifty years. This compendium presents readers with gripping and compelling perspectives told first-hand and reveals the hardships faced by this forgotten community. Many voyaged through jungles without much food, water, or shelter. Many lost family members along the way, some even had to be left behind to protect those running.

Transcribed from Hmong into English, these raw testimonies will tell the stories of the grief Hmong refugees faced when first arriving in America and the courage they had to persevere through it.
