A New Twist for the Spring Fund-Raiser Don’t turn off KQED—there’s a better way!

Your favorite station, we suspect, is KQED Radio. Your favorite program? Probably not the one that starts with “We need your support! Give!” This month, KQED is rolling out a history-making alternative to the classic pledge drive. The new pledge-free radio stream is the first of its kind, the first attempt by any public radio station to offer listeners the satisfaction of giving without pledge break interruptions.

Donate $45 between April 21 and May 4, and you will receive special access to the pledge-free stream that will enable you to listen to KQED on your computer or mobile device without interruption for the duration of the spring fund-raiser.

You must visit kqed.org/donate to sign up.

Freedom Riders Screening and Panel Discussion Wednesday, May 11, 2011 6:15-8:30pm Oakland Museum Free Won’t you join us? KQED is screening the full-length documentary followed by a panel discussion with local leaders, educators, and civil rights activists. kqed.org/events

In 1961, segregation seemed to have an overwhelming grip on American society. Many states violently enforced the policy, and the federal government, under the Kennedy administration, remained indifferent, preoccupied with matters abroad. Then, an Freedom Riders premieres on the PBS series American Experience, integrated band of college Monday, May 16, at 9pm. students—many of whom were the first in their families to attend a university—decided, en masse, to risk everything and buy a ticket on a Greyhound bus bound for the Deep South. They called themselves the Freedom Riders, and they managed to bring the president and the entire American public face-to-face with the challenge of correcting civil rights inequities that plagued the nation.

From May until November, more than 400 black and white Americans risked their lives—and many endured savage beatings and imprisonment—for simply traveling together on buses and trains. Deliberately violating Jim Crow laws, the Freedom Riders’ belief in nonviolent activism was sorely tested as mob violence and bitter racism greeted them along the way.

Veteran filmmaker Stanley Nelson’s inspirational documentary is the first feature-length film about this courageous band of civil rights activists. Freedom Riders features testimony from a fascinating cast of central characters: the Riders themselves, state and federal government officials, and journalists who witnessed the rides firsthand. It chronicles a chapter of American history that stands as an astonishing testament to the accomplishment of youth and what can result from the incredible combination of personal conviction and the courage to organize against all odds.

“Freedom Riders tells the story of an overlooked piece of not only civil rights history but American history,” says Mark Samels, executive producer of American Experience. “It’s a story that we knew had to be told. The film touches and inspires everyone who sees it, and it’s an honor to be presenting it.”

Composer Stewart Wallace, librettist Amy Tan, and stage director Chen Shi-Zheng.

Journey of the Bonesetters Daughter premieres on KQED 9 Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 8, 2011, at 10pm.

Find a complete list of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month programs at kqed.org/heritage.

Witness the creation of the San Francisco Opera’s celebrated 2008 production of The Bonesetter’s Daughter, composed by Stewart Wallace with a libretto by Amy Tan and based on her best-selling book of the same name.

An ambitious, cross-cultural tour de force that brings together artists from China and the United States, the opera tells a deeply moving story about the difficult, but unbreakable bond between mothers and daughters inspired by Tan’s own family history. The making-of-the-opera film chronicles the extraordinary challenges of creating such a new work of art.

Tan’s libretto draws heavily on the tragic suicide of her maternal grandmother and explores the impact of the trauma on successive generations.

“My grandmother was somebody who was forced into a subservient position,” Tan says. “She was raped, and the only way she could gain her power was to kill herself.”

The documentary follows Tan as she explores her past, traveling with her half-sisters to the home in China where her grandmother lived and died. As the opera production is mounted, she grapples with how best to capture the emotional truth of her family story in the drama unfolding on stage.

The film also provides an intimate look at the creative and technical challenges of mounting a production with high emotional and artistic stakes.

Tan and Chinese opera director Chen Shi-Zheng struggle to reconcile their divergent stylistic interpretations of her autobiographical story. The Chinese and Western musicians collaborate despite their vastly different musical training.

Tensions rise during daily rehearsals involving hundreds of singers, orchestra musicians, and backstage personnel as changes are made until moments before the curtain rises. Ultimately, Journey of the Bonesetter’s Daughter shows the power of art to engage, inspire, and transform.

KQED in the Community New face joins Community Advisory Panel Why is Alfredo Pedroza passionate about KQED? Find out here, in the final Q&A with a new member of KQED’s Community Advisory Panel (CAP).

Alfredo Pedroza C ity of resi dence

San Francisco P ro fession /Emp lo yer

Director of California Local Government Relations, Wells Fargo

Why did you want to be part of CAP? Growing up in San Francisco’s Mission District, KQED was an integral part of my childhood. Joining CAP for me was twofold. One, to give back to an organization that’s provided a lifetime of quality family programming to millions of Americans and two, to connect more people from my communities to the innovative content KQED creates.

What public media program(s) do you try not to miss?

I especially like PBS NewsHour and Nightly Business Report, simply because it’s so hard to find credible unsensationalized media reporting anywhere else! I also enjoy Check, Please! Bay Area, and, I have to admit, I still watch and enjoy Sesame Street.

Who is your favorite Muppet?

Kermit the Frog, because it’s not easy being green, and Elmo—I love that he speaks in the third person.

Finish the sentence: “KQED is . . .”

As much a part of the fabric of San What special qualities/skills/ideas do you Francisco as is the Golden Gate Bridge and bring to the group?

Coit Tower and, in many ways, even more I am understanding of community so because you have the opportunity to and that access to information and quality interact with KQED many more times media is essential to the development a day! of those communities.

Now Their Story Can Be Told During World War II, a group of young Polish women, some barely out of their teens, outfoxed the Nazis and rescued thousands of Jewish children from certain death.

More than half a century later, 95-year-old Irena Sendler tells the true story, long suppressed in Communist Poland, of this daring conspiracy of

women who risked their lives in the name of Warsaw’s Jewish mothers. We found Sendler’s nonchalant recounting of her life and works both humbling and inspiring.

See if you agree.

The KQED presentation Irena Sendler: In the Name of Their Mothers premieres on National Holocaust Remembrance Day, Sunday, May 1, at 10pm.

QUEST goes national. Thanks to a generous grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, QUEST will be working closely to pilot a variety of science and environment stories on television, radio, and the Web with: WCPN and WVIZ Cleveland, NETNebraska, UNC-TV North Carolina, WHYY-Philadelphia, KCTS Seattle, and WPT and WPR Wisconsin.

Scott Shafer is a trusted voice of the news on KQED Radio. He provides insightful analysis and in-depth coverage of important issues as host and reporter for weekly newsmagazine The California Report, a KQED News production that is broadcast on more than 35 stations statewide.

But Scott hasn’t always been a radio host. Before coming to KQED, Scott worked for some of the top government officials in the Bay Area and California, including a mayor of San Francisco. He recently answered a few questions about his career in the halls of power as well as important stories he has worked on for KQED News.

How does your experience in government inform your reporting now?

Working in government was the best education I could get for covering government and politics. I worked in several campaigns, then as press secretary for San Francisco mayor Art Agnos and later Gray Davis. I was in the room when policy decisions were debated and decided. I was there when campaign strategies were devised and executed. I participated in damage control, crisis communications (I was deputy press secretary during the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989), and everyday management of the press.

Now that I’m on the outside looking in, I have a much keener sense of what’s probably happening inside government and campaigns. I understand how decisions get made and the kinds of trade-offs involved. I think it just makes me a better journalist.

The California Report newsmagazine can be heard Fridays at 4:30, 6:30, and 11pm on KQED Public Radio 88.5 FM. In Sacramento, listen on KQEI 89.3 FM. Listen online at kqed.org/californiareport.

What’s it been like reporting on Prop. 8 —an issue that’s stirred such emotional reactions around the country?

In general I feel honored to be a journalist, because it means that people share their stories with me. I try to be respectful of that in my coverage. With Prop. 8, there’s a lot of emotion and strong feelings on both sides. During the Prop. 8 campaign, I interviewed religious leaders, civil rights advocates, gay and lesbian couples with kids, and couples who hoped to get married one day. I try to respect all those opinions and points of view in my reporting.

Some people say that journalists have a liberal bias. I don’t know if that’s true, but I think everyone has a “bias” because we all have opinions. I try my best to keep my opinions private, even (or maybe especially) when covering something as emotional and polarizing as gay marriage.

The Prop. 8 campaign and ongoing legal battles are a part of history. I’m really glad to have a front row seat.

If a listener had the opportunity to talk with you in person, what might he or she be surprised to learn?

That’s hard to say. People tend to form images of what people they hear on the radio look like, so anything that contradicts that impression might be surprising. I guess they might be surprised to learn that I play water polo. Didn’t play in high school or college, just picked it up 10 years ago. At the moment I’m the oldest guy on my team, but I think it helps keep me young!
