Milwaukee Rapper Webster X Performs 'Feels' For Wisconsin

In 2016, violent unrest broke out in the Sherman Park neighborhood of Milwaukee after a fatal police shooting rocked the community.

In the weeks following, community conversations identified the need for safe, welcoming neighborhood spaces, and certain leaders in the community decided to take matters into their own hands in order to foster change. In the hopes of moving forward - the idea for the Sherman Phoenix was born.

The Sherman Phoenix transformed the fire-damaged BMO Harris Bank building located at the eastern gateway to the Sherman Park neighborhood into high-quality space for small businesses-of-color offering diverse foods, wellness services and cultural activities. Updates to the neighborhood include much-needed community spaces to curate art exhibits, film showings, and cultural events.

Rising from the ashes and harnessing the spirit and assets of the neighborhood as a catalyst for unity, this is the Sherman Phoenix.

A host of other Wisconsinites have already contributed their voices to speak on the importance of voting, from a conversation with 88Nine Radio Milwaukee's Tarik Moody and Bill Hogseth of Wisconsin Farmers Union, to comedian Jacy Catlin, as well as the vice chairman of Oneida Nation of Wisconsin, Brandon Yellowbird Stevens. Don't miss Bryant Wapoose of the Menominee Nation performing a powerful original composition For Wisconsin. All can be heard now at eauxclaires.com.
