Identifying with the street life before anything else,Anton House states, “I think I was actually born on thestreets.” The product of teenage parents, he was intro-duced to drugs at an early age by a family member. Drugdealing became his life’s ambition. As a high-school stu-dent, he sold drugs to support himself while gang banging,eventually dropping out after the tenth grade. Lookingback, he said he realizes that he saw no value in educationbecause it failed to reinforce a positive identity. Duringthis time, the “black” he identified with was the hustlers,the gang members and the individuals who were “makingsomething, not waiting for something.” Today, Antonfeels this is the story of many African American maleswho are in boys’ homes and correctional facilities nation-wide.

“-Trading dignity for dependence” Bad life choices eventually led Anton to three arrests:

first to Ethan Allen School for Boys at age 15; then twoyears imprisonment in 1998; and again for five years in2001. Charges ranged from running a drug house, to pos-session of cocaine with intent to sell. The legal systemconsidered Anton among the worst, most dangerous kindsof local felons.

During his last incarceration, he read “The Destructionof Black Civilization” by Chancellor Williams; a book hesaid helped him discover the continuity of a positive blackidentity that started in Africa. He feels the AfricanAmericans for the most part, have traded dignity fordependency.” He further states, “Until you know who youare, where you come from, and what type of talents youcan give to America, only then, can one fully realize whatit means to be African!”

This book and the work of other African-Americanthinkers, including W.E.B. Dubois, gave Anton good rea-son to rethink his life focus. “I’d let people tell me whoand what I would be,” Anton said, first his family andgang, then a teacher and principle. “They told me that Iwould never do anything.”

“Resisting the system”Upon release in 2006, Anton said he knew who he

wanted to be. He embraced the Racine VocationalMinistry’s Community Re-entry Program, a projectdesigned to reduce crime and help those convicted of drugoffenses involving gangs and guns build productive, com-munity-centered lives.

The parole systemwanted Anton to learn a

trade, earn a basic living and simply stay out of trouble.Racine Vocational Ministry Director James Schatzmanrecalls, “He was sent to welding boot camp, a programoffered through Workforce Development Center in part-nership with Gateway Technical College. He completed atthe top of his class, Schatzman says, but thatwasn’t what he wanted to do.”

Anton, whosenewphilos-ophyinvolvedmain-taininghis trueidentity,refused toreceive aweldingjob.Schatzmansaid, “Itwasn’t whathe wanted.It wasn’twhat he wasmeant to doand he knewit.”

Just short ofbeing returnedto prison forviolating condi-tions of hisparole involvingemployment,former,Community Re-entryCoordinator,Dywane Wyhdam

enrolled Anton in the voca-tional ministry’s Solutions for Success program and casemanagement, both designed to help Anton turn his lifearound and follow a useful path.

Anton enrolled in the University of Wisconsin–Parkside in 2007 where he remained on the dean’s list for

Globetrotting on a multi-city book tour promotinghis latest tome, Fail Up: 20 Lessons on BuildingSuccess from Failure (ISBN-13: 9781401933906, HayHouse), author Tavis Smiley, national media personali-ty, entrepreneur and philanthropist openly shares someof his most memorable accounts of two decades inbroadcasting with audiences of all stripes.

When I spoke with him, he had just held an audienceof business and civic leaders, colleagues and students atrapt attention, appearing vigilant about world affairsand the day-to-day preoccupations of working-classAmericans.

During opening remarks he opined, “I look back onthis journey along with the fact that this book is beingreleased now, this year of 2011, on the occasion of my20 years in the broadcast business. The lessons that

I’ve learned along the way are primarily by makingmissteps, miscalculations and missed cues. Anyone whois --or has been-- successful in any human endeavorwill tell you that [if they are being honest] they learnmuch more when they are failing than they ever learnedfrom their successes.”

At the center of his career confessions is a mantrathat consists of three simple words: faith, family andfriends. It is at this point, where I began our conversa-tion

Sandra Varner (Talk2SV): In Fail Up, you say threewords have become a mantra for you: faith, family andfriends. I’d like to suggest another “F” word, “failure.”While we typically are encouraged to believe that fail-ure is not an option, for you, it seems that failure hasbeen an option. So, could we extend the list to faith,family, friends and failure?

Smiley: I like that and I’ll take that. You’re right.Recently, I was in a conversation about the notion that

several semesters. He was voted in as President of the Black Student Unionand graduated with honors in May with a bachelor’s degree in history. He wasrecognized by Phi Alpha Theta, the National History Honorary Society. Antonhas been accepted by the prestigious, traditionally black Howard UniversityMaster’s in History program where, if he can find the roughly $10,000 persemester tuition, he will enroll this fall.

“I am passionate about my education and I know that I will be held account-able, as it relates to how I teach generations that come behind,” said House.

And what would you say to the others who heard from every direction thatthey’re destined for drugs, crime violence and prison? “Do not let anyone tellyou who you are,” Anton said. “Define yourself. Never let someone tell youwhat you cannot do. Educate yourself.”

failure is not an option. Actually, failure is an option. I understand the sentimentbehind it, but ultimately anyone who succeeds does so only through a litany of fail-ures. This book lays out my own personal narrative about the role that failure hasplayed in my life. Essentially, what I’ve come to conclude is that we have to see fail-ure as a friend; failure isn’t final and it doesn’t have to be fatal. If I were to offer asynonym for the word ‘failure,’ it would be ‘preparation.’ That’s what failure really is,its preparation. As I look back on my life, my career, I’ve seen how all these failuresprepared me for the very next step. As I say in the book, sometimes rejection is re-direction, so I’ve just come to look at failure differently. Now, it’s hard to see thiswhen you’re going through the situation, but, with 20 years in the broadcast business, Isee things now that I didn’t see then and I’m just trying to share them with other peo-ple.

Talk2SV: Of the many lessons we all learn through failure, as well as lessonslearned through life’s circumstances, we learn that “we” don’t know everything. Youhave had a rapid ascension into a successful career, still a relatively young man. Inretrospect, how have you assessed this period of rapid ascension?

Smiley: I want to go back to those “F” s you mentioned: faith, family and friends.I’ve been very fortunate, yet another ‘F’ word. I’ve been so fortunate and blessed. Inl996, the year I started on the Tom Joyner Morning Show (syndicated radio) as a com-mentator and as a talk show host on Black Entertainment Television Network (BET),my career has been like a rocket going into outer space. The trajectory, the propulsionand the velocity of the take off from 1996 was pretty amazing. To your point, thingshappened pretty quickly: television, radio, books, best-selling books, State of the BlackUnion summits, magazine covers, accolades, awards, honorary doctorate degrees…Imean, things really took off pretty fast after 1996. As I look back on it, I didn’t realizethat I had had so many failures; I didn’t realize I’d failed so many times. I didn’t real-ize I’d made so many mistakes because there was a great deal of success during thatperiod and over the last twenty years. Looking back on all of it, most of my big suc-cesses followed massive failures. For example, when I got fired by BET, it opened upthe door to ABC to CNN to NPR to PBS; all those doors were opened up after I gotfired by BET.

Anton House overcame the misfortune of being born into adrug dealing family, social disadvantage and bad choices leadingto criminal convictions and prison time only to graduate fromcollege with honors. Now he’s been accepted into one of thenation’s most prestigious master’s degree programs. It appearsthat nothing can stop him.

Except, the road to an education that could make him a partic-ularly honorable scholar, activist and role model, Anton is broke.

The honors graduate and president of the Black Student Unionhas got $48,125 in undergraduate debt at a staggering 29.6 per-cent interest rate. Tuition in his two-year master’s degree runs$10,000 per semester for a total of at least $120,000, not includ-ing books and fees. Fortunately, Anton’s aunt lives within blocksof campus and is willing to allow him to stay with her.

Racine Vocational Ministry has established the Anton HouseEducation Fund. Checks may be made out to the fund c/o RacineVocational Ministry, 214 7th St., Racine, WI 53403. Volunteersalso will be knocking on the doors of the most influential indi-viduals and organizations locally. Schatzman encourages thosewho would like to step up to call him at (262) 633-8660.

Schatzman said, “It would be a tremendous tragedy to over-look, this is an opportunity to fund a future leader of our com-munity and possibility our country. If this doesn’t happen, not tohappen for simply the lack of tuition – It would be the wrongthing to do.”

Keith Fair, an Alderman and a down-town bar owner, will contest being citedwith an ordinance violation for disorderlyconduct. Fair recently pleaded not guiltyto the charge in traffic court at the LawEnforcement Center, 717 Wisconsin Ave.A fine of $283.50 would have beenimposed if Fair had not pleaded “notguilty”.

Fair allegedly yelled and threatened anemployee of Flowers by Walter around7:30 pm, April 23, 2011 behind The Placeon Sixth, located at 509 Sixth St., accord-ing to a police report. Now the matter isscheduled to go to trial on July 13, 2011.

A disorderly conduct law makes it acrime to be drunk in public, to "disturbthe peace", or to loiter in certain areas.Many types of unruly conduct may fit thedefinition of disorderly conduct; as suchstatutes are often used as "catch-all"crimes. Police may use a disorderly con-duct charge to keep the peace when peo-ple are behaving in a disruptive mannerto themselves or others, but present noserious public danger. Disorderly conductis typically classified as a violation ormisdemeanor.

However according to another nearbymunicipality, the ordinance is very sel-dom used after-the-fact, or sent throughthe mail.

The employee told Racine police thathe went to Fair’s bar to ask him to cleanup trash around the bar and Fair reported-ly "immediately blew up" at him.

The report says the employee told Fair

he was going to tell the mayor that Fairwas not doing his job as the district alder-man or bar owner and Fair allegedlyscreamed obscenities at him. The employ-ee also asserts that Fair claimed the cityand the mayor weren’t going to do any-thing to him.

Fair said that he is troubled that thepolice did not witness the incident firsthand, but yet a citation was issued basedon the employee’s word. “It is so one-sided and slanted that I am concernedabout their true motives,” said Fair.

He said that he is also upset that thepolice arranged a meeting with the flowershop employee the next day and issuedhim a citation after that meeting.

According to earlier accounts, Fair toldpolice he didn't have a problem with theemployee when he approached him civil-ly in the past to talk about issues but did-n't like the employee threatening to takethe issue to the mayor.

Fair also accused the police of not con-ducting a thorough investigation becauseno one talked to the witnesses inside thebar.

He added that he has also filed a policereport regarding the complaint for allegedthreats to shoot him with a rifle. Afterinvestigating, police concluded Fair'sallegations were unfounded.

On Friday, Fair declined to pay thefine.
