“Disparity Study” Examines Patterns of Discrimination, Seeks Remedies for City Practices of Selecting Contractors in Construction, Goods and Services

By Ken Epstein

Rep. Barbara Lee Calls for Trump’s Ouster, Recounts Experience During Capitol Siege The day after the U.S. Capitol was stormed by supporters of Pres. Donald Trump, U.S. Representative Barbara Lee called for his removal from office.

“The 25th amendment must be invoked immediately,” she said in a Tweet. “I joined Rep. (Jamie) Raskin on legislation to invoke the 25th amendment last year, and now it’s taken on a new and dangerous urgency.

Mostly Democrats, 120 members of House of Representatives and 17 Senators called for Trump’s removal by invoking the 25th Amendment or impeachment.

Lee was working of the lower chamber while the Senate prepared to count the Electoral College votes that would certify the peaceful transfer of power from Trump to President-Elect Joe Biden.

She described her experience on Wednesday: “I am appreciative of all the support and fortunate that my staff and I are safe. I was swiftly rushed off the floor of the House and moved to a secure location following the riotous breach of the Capitol incited by Donald Trump.

She then went on to characterize what happened as “a stain on America. Donald Trump has spent months enraging his supporters with the lie that the election was stolen from them, despite the fact that every one of his wild allegations is demonstrably false.

Facing a “public outcry,” the City of Oakland administration has released a race and gender study of the city’s contracting practices conducted by an outside consulting firm and submitted to the city back in February 2020.

The study shows that African Americans are currently denied and have been systematically excluded for years from jobs and contracts generated by residents’ tax money.

The practices are not color blind; those who run the city have directed the lion’s share of the wealth generated during these boom years to firms owned by white males.

One statistic makes the point: of the $272 million in construction contracts that the city gave out during the period of the study, white males received 78%, and African Americans received less than one percent of the money –

0.32%.

Black-owned firms divided up a total of $873,000. The pot of cash that went to white males totaled $211 million.

The administration released the disparity study officially at the Dec. 9, 2020, City Council meeting after ongoing pressure from the Oakland African American Chamber of Commerce and a press conference on Nov. 24, 2020, demanding that the report be made public.

Businesses and community

leaders are also demanding immediate remedies to the disparities.

Within less than an hour of the conclusion of the press conference, City Administrator Ed Reiskin in partnership with City Attorney Barbara Parker, and Mayor Libby Schaaf, posted the study on the city’s website, according to the website Oakland News Now. “The public outcry for reContinued on Page 12

Facebook Bans Communications

By President Trump Indefinitely

By Kevin Collier

Facebook on Thursday banned Pres. Donald Trump from using its social network or Instagram “indefinitely, including the last two weeks of his presidency.

In a post on the site, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote that Trump’s refusal to condemn his extremist supporters who stormed and occupied the U.S. Capitol building on Wednesday showed that he “intends to use his remaining time in office to undermine the peaceful and lawful transition of power to his elected successor, Joe Biden.”

For weeks leading up to the count of Electoral College votes in Congress on Wednesday, some Trump supporters openly planned a violent confrontation at the Capitol.

Trump had repeatedly endorsed the gathering, at which he encouraged supporters to

march to the Capitol.

Hours after the rioters began occupying the building, Trump issued a video message on multiple social media platforms instructing them to “go home,” but also repeating the falsehood that he was the true winner of the election.

“His decision to use his platform to condone rather than condemn the actions of his supporters at the Capitol

building has rightly disturbed people in the U.S. and around the world,” Zuckerberg wrote.

“We believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great.”

Twitter, where Trump is particularly active, has not banned Trump’s entire account, but removed the tweets where he ad-

come tax credit from the state and 2020 taxpayers who have Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers.

Residents with an annual income of $30,000 or less are eligible for the tax credit, while ITIN taxpayers include people like undocumented residents who were not eligible for federal stimulus payments.

“Through the Golden State Stimulus, Californians who

have been impacted by this pandemic will get help to provide for their families and keep a roof over their heads,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement.

The governor is also seeking in his proposed budget to extend the state’s moratorium on evictions during the pandemic, which is set to expire Jan. 31.

Under the moratorium via Assembly Bill 3088, residents

who have lost income because of the pandemic and pay at least one quarter of their monthly rent cannot be evicted for missed payments.

In addition, the state would use the $2.6 billion it received in federal stimulus money to support renters and homeowners who are at risk of being evicted.

Newsom is expected to unveil his full budget proposal Friday.

Low-income residents in California could receive $600 stimulus payments as part of the state’s 2021-2022 budget, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Wednesday.

The “Golden State Stimulus” payments would be dispersed to 2019 taxpayers who received an earned in-

President-Elect Joe Biden has tapped Kristen Clarke, 45, current president and executive director of the National Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law (Lawyers Committee) to become the Assistant Attorney General of the United States for the Civil Rights Division.

Clarke was formally nominated on Thursday after Biden tapped Merrick Garland to serve as Attorney General and head the Dept. of Justice. Garland had been nominated by former Pres. Barack Obama to serve on the Supreme Court.

Clarke was born in Jamaica

and grew up in Brooklyn, New York. She completed her undergraduate education at Harvard and went to law school and got her J.D. from Columbia School of Law. Clarke also worked for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and the Department of Justice.

Clarke tweeted of her nomination: “This job is about justice. It’s about equality. And under our DOJ, we’ll move closer to the TRUE meaning of equal justice under law.

Honored to be nominated . . . to serve. . . . “ Biden also nominated Lisa Monaco for Deputy Attorney General and Vanita Gupta for Associate Attorney General.

Rev. Rafael Warnock defeated the appointed Sen. Kelly Loeffler to become the first Black senator from the state of Georgia.

His term will end in 2022.

Warnock leads the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, which had once been led by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Jon Ossoff defeated incumbent Sen. David Perdue for a full six-year term and becomes the first Jewish senator from Georgia and, at 33, the youngest member of the United States Senate.

With the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris last year and now with the new Democratic senators, Georgia has a solidly Democratic state at the federal level.

The Senate is now comprised of 50 Democrats and 50 Republicans with Vice President Elect Kamala Harris controlling and breaking any ties.

The Senatorial election results will be finalized on Jan. 12, 2021.

As the Georgia election results were cemented, the electoral votes were being counted in the Capitol and Trump loyalists stormed the Capitol and disrupted the vote.

Speaker of House Nancy Pelosi’s office was occupied by the mob and a note left that stated: “We will not back down.”

The Capitol was cleared, lawmakers evacuated and sent to undisclosed locations, and the vote to confirm the Electoral College votes was continuing as the Post was going Continued on Page 12

Family of Oscar Grant III Renews Calls for Murder Charges in Shooting

The Wrightsville 21: Arkansas’ Secret Holocaust

Bay City News

The family of Oscar Grant III last Friday renewed calls for murder charges against former BART officer Anthony Pirone, who with then-BART officer Johannes Mehserle was involved in the attempted arrest that led to Grant’s death on New Year’s Day 2009.

Cephus X Johnson, Grant’s uncle, along with other family members, former Black Panther Party Chair Elaine Brown, Oakland attorney John Burris and others, gathered the morning of Jan. 1, 2021, at the Fruitvale BART station where Grant was killed 12 years ago to the day.

While Mehserle was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for fatally shooting Grant, 22, after responding to

Referring to a video that was taken of the incident, Johnson said, “Tony Pirone, with his

A 2009 report on the case by former Oakland City Attorney Jayne Williams and thenattorney Kimberly Colwell of the law firm Meyers Nave found that Pirone, who knelt on Grant’s back and pinned him to the ground, “started a cascade of events that ultimately led to the shooting of Grant.”

Burris said in an interview Friday, “I was the one who did the civil case at the beginning.

We, at the time, were demanding that Anthony Pirone be prosecuted. It was clear that Continued on page 8 Jackie Ormes: The Radical Cartoonist

It was about 4:00 a.m. on March 5, 1959.

Sixty-nine boys were sleeping in the Negro Boys Industrial School’s dormitory in Wrightsville, Ark. The doors were padlocked from the outside; the windows were screened.

No supervisors were on duty.

A fire, mysteriously ignited, forced the boys to claw their way out to safety as the building burned to the ground.

When the smoke cleared, 21 boys, ages 13 to 16, were found in a pile in a corner of the dormitory. The 48 that had survived did so by prying off mesh metal screens from two windows.

Many wrote off the event as a horrific accident. Others argued that the fire that killed the boys – who were there because they were orphaned, homeless or accused of petty crimes like stealing hubcaps -- was set intentionally.

“It was a carefully calculated murder that killed 21 boys, but it was designed to kill all 69 that were housed inside of this

to Disburse $500 Million in COVID-19

By Tanu Henry, California Black Media

The State of California announced that it has selected Lendistry, a Black-led-and-operated financial firm in Los Angeles, to act as the intermediary charged with disbursing $500 million in COVID-19 grants to California small businesses and non-profits.

The California Office of the Small Business Advocate (CalOSBA), which operates under the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz), says small businesses and non-profit organizations across California that have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic can begin submitting applications for relief grants ranging from $5,000 to $25,000. The application process begins now and runs through Jan. 8, 2021.

The governor and the Legislature first announced the program November 30.

The California Association of Black Lawyers (CABL) submitted the names of three accomplished African American attorneys to the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC) as possible candidates for the state’s soon-to-be open Attorney General position.

In a 46-page document that includes biographical data of the organization’s recommendations, CABL called on Black members of the state Legislature to support attorneys Diane Becton, Paul Henderson or Terry Wiley to become the next Attorney General. The group also forwarded the proposal listing the candidates they are supporting – all public servants with significant experience — to Gov. Gavin Newsom.

“We are in a unique position to know, understand, and recommend one of our own members to serve as the next California Attorney General,” stated the letter dated December 23 from Melinda Murray, president of CABL. “We

strongly urge the Legislative Black Caucus to consider the above three candidates and to interview them for recommendation to Governor Newsom.”

Earlier in December, President-elect Joe Biden nominated current California Attorney General Xavier Becerra to be

Secretary of Health and Human Services in his administration.

Since then, various candidates have emerged as possible replacements for the state’s top lawyer and law enforcement official.

Oakland Artist Vows to Replace Vandalized, Then Stolen Statue Honoring Breonna Taylor

By Post Staff

Wanting to create a ‘symbol of joy,’ in memory of Breonna Taylor, Oakland sculptor Leo Carson installed a head-andneck bust of her at Latham Square on Dec. 12, 2020.

On Tuesday, the bust of the emergency services worker killed in Louisville, Ky. last March in a botched police raid was stolen after it had been found smashed to pieces on Dec. 26, 2020.

Also on Tuesday, it was reported that two police officers involved in Taylor’s death in Continued on Page 8

Lawrence’s 15-year-old brother, Lindsey Cross, burned to death that morning. Lawrence has since made it his mission to uncover the truth about the events that led to the fire.

“If you look at my research and uncover the circumstances that surrounded the players involved, starting with [Arkansas] Governor [Orval] Faubus and T.J. Raney and other segregationists, it would be easy to conclude it wasn’t one of the ... excuses that they elevated, like possible lightning, possible arson, possible woodstove, possible faulty wiring,” Lawrence said.

Prior to the fire, Faubus toured the school, witnessing the deplorable conditions in

which the boys were forced to live. Still, he made no recommendations for updating or cleaning the facility.

But according to news reports, Faubus “seemed disturbed” by the boys’ deaths, calling the fire “inexcusable.”

He called for a hearing to determine who may have been responsible.

Staff and superintendents from the school were called on to give their account of the events that had taken place, admitting that the boys had been locked in and left without supervision.

A Pulaski County grand jury found numerous individuals and agencies responsible for the fire and the deaths, yet no criminal charges were returned.

Hours after the fire, the boys’ bodies were taken to a local funeral home, their charred 90 100 remains wrapped in newspaper. “The parents of the boys could come in and pick out body parts á la carte and claim 100 100 100 80 70 70 100 their children,” Lawrence said.

Bay Area Medical Workers Share Views on COVID-19 Vaccine

By Clifford L. Williams

Thirty-seven-year-old Angela White of Oakland didn’t even flinch when she was administered the COVID-19 vaccine. “I don’t remember when the needle was inserted in my arm after the nurse said ‘you’re done’,” said White. “It was quick and painless.”

White, an Emergency Medicine physician at Oakland’s Highland Hospital since 2016, is one of the few Black doctors working in Highland’s emergency room. She took the vaccine on December 18 and is looking forward to her second vaccine shot on Jan. 9, 2021.

State Extends Deadline To Apply Congresswoman Lee Sworn in as Member of For Small Business Relief Grant Democratic Leadership in 117th Congress

By Keith Burbank and Lisa Hix Bay City News Service

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Office of Business and Economic Development announced Monday that the deadline for the first round of applications for the Small Business COVID-19 Relief Grant Program has been extended.

The first round has been extended to Jan. 13, 2021, at 11:59 p.m. from January 8.

Details for the second round will be announced shortly.

On Nov. 30, 2020, Newsom and the state Legislature announced that $500 million was available to small businesses and nonprofits that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The program is administered by California’s Office of the Small Business Advocate (CalOSBA), part of the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development.

“Inclusive, equitable re-

lief is fundamental to the small business support developed by this administration,” CalOSBA Director Isabel Guzman said. “This grant program provides that support through a network of community development financial institutions and community-based organizations, ensuring reach to those highly impacted small businesses in disadvantaged communities, underserved small business groups, and industries

disproportionately impacted by this pandemic.”

The California Small Business COVID-19 Relief Grant Program provides grants ranging from $5,000 to $25,000. Grants are not being reviewed on a firstcome, first-served basis but all will be reviewed, state officials said Monday.

So many businesses were trying to complete the application online that website traffic was high, and some businesses may have had trouble accessing the application, according to the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development.

Adjustments have been made to the website and the deadline extended so that everyone interested can apply, state officials said.

Help with the application process is available in multiple languages and formats.

For more information on grant requirements and eligibility, please visit careliefgrant.com.

Congresswoman Barbara Lee released the following statement after being sworn in to represent California’s 13th Congressional District in the 117th Congress in Washington, D.C.: “It is a profound honor to be sworn in as a member of Democratic leadership in the 117th Congress. This is a historically diverse Democratic Majority that is nearly 70% women, people of color and LGBTQ individuals, and it is a privilege to serve alongside so many dedicated public servants. I am grateful for the trust that my constituents have placed in me to represent them and I will remain committed to fighting for progressive values in Washington.

US Mint to Honor Tuskegee Airmen With Special Quarter

The Tuskegee Airmen are being honored by the U.S. Mint with a quarter dedicated to the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site.

The coin, which will be the final installment in the mint’s popular America the Beautiful Quarters Program, was officially released Monday.

All of the nearly 1,000 Black military pilots who trained in the U.S. during World War II did so in Tuskegee. Of those, 450 were deployed overseas and 150 died, including 66 who were killed in action. There were also more

“I am also pleased with the reforms in the Democratic rules package that will strengthen accountability, transparency, and inclusivity in the new Congress, including reforms to PAYGO exemptions and the Motion to Recommit.

by the full House of Representatives. It has been used to good effect by GOP members as a ‘gotcha’ to amend legislation that otherwise would not get Democrats’ support.

In 2019, Lee was one of two legislators calling for a repeal of the 2010 PAYGO law. “PAYGO is a law that hamstrings our ability to advance progressive priorities and reduce poverty, and forces draconian austerity cuts that disproportionately hurt the most vulnerable communities. It’s past time to get rid of PAYGO for good,” Lee said.

Alex Katz is the district communications manager for Rep. Barbara Lee’s office.

The State of California announced that it has selected Lendistry, a Black-led-and-operated financial firm in Los Angeles, to act as the intermediary charged with disbursing $500 million in COVID-19 grants to California small businesses and non-profits.

The California Office of the Small Business Advocate (CalOSBA), which operates under the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz), says small businesses and non-profit organizations across California that have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic can begin submitting applications for relief grants ranging from $5,000 to $25,000. The application process begins now and runs through Jan. 8, 2021.

The governor and the Legislature first announced the program November 30.

The California Association of Black Lawyers (CABL) submitted the names of three accomplished African American attorneys to the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC) as possible candidates for the state’s soon-to-be open Attorney General position.

In a 46-page document that includes biographical data of the organization’s recommendations, CABL called on Black members of the state Legislature to support attorneys Diane Becton, Paul Henderson or Terry Wiley to become the next Attorney General. The group also forwarded the proposal listing the candidates they are supporting – all public servants with significant experience — to Gov. Gavin Newsom.

“We are in a unique position to know, understand, and recommend one of our own members to serve as the next California Attorney General,” stated the letter dated December 23 from Melinda Murray, president of CABL. “We

strongly urge the Legislative Black Caucus to consider the above three candidates and to interview them for recommendation to Governor Newsom.”

Earlier in December, President-elect Joe Biden nominated current California Attorney General Xavier Becerra to be

Secretary of Health and Human Services in his administration.

Since then, various candidates have emerged as possible replacements for the state’s top lawyer and law enforcement official.

Oakland Artist Vows to Replace Vandalized, Then Stolen Statue Honoring Breonna Taylor

By Post Staff

Wanting to create a ‘symbol of joy,’ in memory of Breonna Taylor, Oakland sculptor Leo Carson installed a head-andneck bust of her at Latham Square on Dec. 12, 2020.

On Tuesday, the bust of the emergency services worker killed in Louisville, Ky. last March in a botched police raid was stolen after it had been found smashed to pieces on Dec. 26, 2020.

Also on Tuesday, it was reported that two police officers involved in Taylor’s death in Continued on Page 8

Bay Area Medical Workers Share Views on COVID-19 Vaccine

By Clifford L. Williams

Thirty-seven-year-old Angela White of Oakland didn’t even flinch when she was administered the COVID-19 vaccine. “I don’t remember when the needle was inserted in my arm after the nurse said ‘you’re done’,” said White. “It was quick and painless.”

White, an Emergency Medicine physician at Oakland’s Highland Hospital since 2016, is one of the few Black doctors working in Highland’s emergency room. She took the vaccine on December 18 and is looking forward to her second vaccine shot on Jan. 9, 2021.

As of this writing, White has not experienced any major side effects.

“There was a small muscle in my arm that was sore for a day but aside from that, I’ve felt pretty normal,” added

We’re essential workers who are more likely to be impacted by COVID-19. To not get the vaccine would be giving up an opportunity to protect ourselves, our health, and the health and livelihood of our friends and community.”

“I think using the vaccine is another way of protecting me, in addition to wearing a mask and face shield at work, I also practice social distancing. It’s just one more step that’s going Angela White (seated) receives a vaccine shot from Adrian to make me, my family and my Cabrera, RN of Alameda Health System’s Employee Health community safer, and I highly recommend people take the Department.

By Ken Epstein

There are high hopes in the community for a newly energized school board as four new members set to take office in January pledging to disentangle the multiple crises facing the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD), including shuttered classrooms and COVID-19 enforced distance learning, ongoing threats of austerity-driven budget cuts and state-enforced demands to close more neighborhood schools.

Davis, who represents District 1, worked as a teacher and family outreach coordinator in Oakland schools for 10 years.

to Disburse $500 Million in COVID-19

By Tanu Henry, California Black Media

The State of California announced that it has selected Lendistry, a Black-led-and-operated financial firm in Los Angeles, to act as the intermediary charged with disbursing $500 million in COVID-19 grants to California small businesses and non-profits.

The California Office of the Small Business Advocate (CalOSBA), which operates under the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz), says small businesses and non-profit organizations across California that have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic can begin submitting applications for relief grants ranging from $5,000 to $25,000. The application process begins now and runs through Jan. 8, 2021.

The governor and the Legislature first announced the program November 30.

The California Association of Black Lawyers (CABL) submitted the names of three accomplished African American attorneys to the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC) as possible candidates for the state’s soon-to-be open Attorney General position.

In a 46-page document that includes biographical data of the organization’s recommendations, CABL called on Black members of the state Legislature to support attorneys Diane Becton, Paul Henderson or Terry Wiley to become the next Attorney General. The group also forwarded the proposal listing the candidates they are supporting – all public servants with significant experience — to Gov. Gavin Newsom.

“We are in a unique position to know, understand, and recommend one of our own members to serve as the next California Attorney General,” stated the letter dated December 23 from Melinda Murray, president of CABL. “We

strongly urge the Legislative Black Caucus to consider the above three candidates and to interview them for recommendation to Governor Newsom.”

Earlier in December, President-elect Joe Biden nominated current California Attorney General Xavier Becerra to be

Secretary of Health and Human Services in his administration.

Since then, various candidates have emerged as possible replacements for the state’s top lawyer and law enforcement official.

Oakland Artist Vows to Replace Vandalized, Then Stolen Statue Honoring Breonna Taylor

By Post Staff

Wanting to create a ‘symbol of joy,’ in memory of Breonna Taylor, Oakland sculptor Leo Carson installed a head-andneck bust of her at Latham Square on Dec. 12, 2020.

On Tuesday, the bust of the emergency services worker killed in Louisville, Ky. last March in a botched police raid was stolen after it had been found smashed to pieces on Dec. 26, 2020.

Also on Tuesday, it was reported that two police officers involved in Taylor’s death in

There are high hopes in the community for a newly energized school board as four new members set to take office in January pledging to disentangle the multiple crises facing the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD), including shuttered classrooms and COVID-19 enforced distance learning, ongoing threats of austerity-driven budget cuts and state-enforced demands to close more neighborhood schools.

Thirty-seven-year-old Angela White of Oakland didn’t even flinch when she was administered the COVID-19 vaccine. “I don’t remember when the needle was inserted in my arm after the nurse said ‘you’re done’,” said White. “It was quick and painless.”

White, an Emergency Medicine physician at Oakland’s Highland Hospital since 2016, is one of the few Black doctors working in Highland’s emergency room. She took the vaccine on December 18 and is looking forward to her second vaccine shot on Jan. 9, 2021.

OneTen: Creating 1 Million Jobs for Black Americans Over 10 Years

Oakland Musicians Nab 2020 Bay Area Jazz Awards

By Post Staff

Three Oakland musicians were beneficiaries of the 2020 Bay Area Jazz Awards, which were announced just before the end of the year.

Percussionist John Santos, who heads up the John Santos Sextet, is not only a musician but an activist and educator who adds to the genre of Latin jazz while bringing to light styles from previous generations, especially from the Caribbean islands of Puerto Rico and Cuba.

His album honoring the “Art of the Descarga,” was released

by Smithsonian/Folkways and drew on his inspiration by the jazzy improvisations of a Cuban bassist, Israel ‘Cachao’ López who experimented with classic descargas in 1950s Havana.

Speaking of Havana, that’s where Oakland vocalist Bobi Cespedes was born. She has lived in Oakland for several decades where she founded Conjunto Cespedes with her brother and nephew in the 1980s. Since then she has delivered three albums on her own, the latest called ‘Mujer and Cantante,’ her winning entry. The offerings are her own composition and continue to draw from a Cuban musical style called ‘son,’ which she fuses with jazz. She is also a renowned priestess in the Lucumi tradition and infuses some of the ancient chants in her vocals.

Kenny Washington has been in the background too long. At the age of 51, he finally released an album in his own name, called “What’s the Hurry?’

Revered by his peers, praised

by music critics, Washington, standing at 5-foot-2, earned the nickname ‘Superman of the Bay Area jazz scene.’ Born in New Orleans, Washington grew up singing gospel in the church where his parents were choir members and playing saxophone in school bands.

Perhaps the only and certainly one of the few male vocalists who hang onto the style, Washington “scats with the harmonic daring and rhythmic command of a bebop saxophonist and interprets standards with such intelligence and emotional commitment it’s like Rodgers and Hart wrote ‘I Didn’t Know What Time It Was’ with him in mind,” wrote East Bay Times critic Andrew Gilbert.

Post staff used the musicans’ web sites and the East Bay Times as sources for this story.

Expanding School Year in New Ways May Be One Outcome of Pandemic

By Louis Freedberg, EdSource

Expanded summer school for K-12 students may be one positive outcome of the pandemic that has otherwise contributed to varying levels of learning loss among students across the state.

Without providing details, Gov. Gavin Newsom indicated that he will be including funds in the budget that he will present to the Legislature in January that might allow schools to effectively extend the school year into the summer as a crucial way to help make up for the learning loss that many students have suffered during the pandemic.

“We’re going to be creative to look more broadly outside the previous constructs, this mantra or mindset that goes back to an agrarian society that no longer exists, that has the presumption that 99% of us will be toiling in the fields come this summer,” he said during his briefing on his plan to encourage more schools to offer in-person instruction.

Gov. Gavin Newsom

He said he didn’t want to “get too far ahead in terms of the budget that we will be submitting,” but that “we will be looking at extending the day, looking at extending into the summer, looking at the opportunity to get tutors and additional supports to comprehensively address learning loss.”

His remarks were reinforced by those of State Board of Education Pres. Linda Darling-Hammond, who is also currently heading up the education transition team for President-elect Joe Biden.

State Board of Education President Linda DarlingHammond.

On King’s day, we will make the connections between the violence of the state and the violence in our streets. All violence is state violence, and we hold the administration of Mayor Libby Schaaf, and the state at large, responsible for creating and/or maintaining the conditions that make this nightmare a lived reality for far too many of our people.

On this Reclaim MLK Day, we will uplift the names of the fallen and REimagine an Oakland free from inter-communal war. Here, too, is the place to lift up our demands to #DefundOPD and #REfundOurCommunity. Police do not prevent or interrupt violence — they respond after the violence happens, or commit the violence themselves.

We have a dream that one day we will break the cycle of militarized policing and mass incarceration and invest in what will actually keep us safe. We have a dream that we

will get to the gun before the bullet flies rather than watch one more mother bury her child.

The data is clear: resourced communities are safe communities. It is time for the city to invest in support services and social programs with the same ferocity it has invested in the failed mechanism of violent policing. We cannot incarcerate our way to wholeness.

The work to REfund, REstore, and REimagine our communities is a natural evolution of King’s work, legacy and unfulfilled dream. He said, “A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.” That’s Oakland’s budget every year, as OPD devours half of our general fund while housing and social services get next to nothing.

As we REimagine what public safety means in Oakland — community violence

From OneTen.org: “OneTen will work with employers, education partners and upskilling partners to design educational and employment solutions. Together, these partners will better develop, retain, and advance diverse and underrepresented talent, more broadly, but with an explicit commitment to hire or promote Black Americans without four-year degrees.

OneTen’s role in the talent ecoststem will be local, reflecting the workforce development landscape, and focus on reducing exclusionary hiring practices, identifying robust and new talent sources, and ensuring that adequate and equitable career pathways for advancement exist. In January 2021, the organization will begin working with partner employers to improve workplace inclusivity practices and will connect talent providers to partner employers shortly thereafter.”

Frazier adds “This is a moment in time for Americans to move past our divisions to come together and reach our full potential as a nation.

Our country’s workforce of the future will be an increasingly diverse one. Through

the creation of 1 million jobs for Black Americans over the next 10 years. OneTen has the potential to address persistent inter-generational gaps in opportunity and wealth.”

Rometty says: “OneTen links our companies with the critical work we know we need to do to improved racial equity in America. This will not only help our individual companies, but by removing structural barriers that have disproportionately hindered Black Americans from joining the middle class, it will also help lift all Americans.

By bringing together a coalition of key leaders and asking them to make long-term commitments, we have the ability to change employment practices and help break down systemic barriers opening the door to full participation in our economy.”

“Talent organizations” and “job seekers” both are encouraged to sign up at OneTen.org to learn how to get involved.

OneTen is a startup that launched in December 2020 and will connect employers with Black employees.

The goal is simple, to create 1 million jobs for Black Americans over the next 10 years, hence the name OneTen. OneTen was founded by Ken Frazier (chairman and CEO of Merck and OneTen board chair), Ginni Rometty (executive chairperson of IBM and board co-chair of OneTen, Ken Chenault (chairman and managing director of General Catalyst and former chairman and CEO of American Express), Charles Phillipps (managing partner of Recognize, chairman of the Black Economic Alliance and former CEO of Infor), and Kevin Sharer (former CEO of Amgen and former faculty member at Harvard Business School), who also serve on the board of directors.

OneTen has thus far recruited 37 “committed companies” including IBM, American Express, Bank of America, Comcast, General Motors, PepsiCo, Walmart, Target, Nordstrom and Nike, and raised more than $100 million in seed funding.

The prospective employees need only have a high school diploma or other certifications -- a four-year degree is not required.

In November 2014, 82% of Oakland citizens voted in favor of Measure FF, a local ordinance that took effect March 2, 2015. The ordinance included provisions for annual increases to the mínimum wage based on the local Consumer Price Index. The other benefits mandated by Measure FF – including paid sick leave and payment of service charges to hospitality workers – remain the same.

Employers are required to inform employees of the mínimum wage increase by December 15, 2020. To assist in notification, the City has posted downloadable posters in four languages at oaklandca.gov/ minimumwage.

Notices must be in languages spoken by more than 10% of employees. Resources for employers and employees, including frequently asked questions and interpretive regulations, are also posted on the web page.

Several other cities in the region have also enacted minimum wage laws to ensure workers are paid a wage to provide for themselves and their families.

As our local businesses are adjusting to this change, it’s important to support our dynamic local business community and in turn support Oakland workers.

Sen. Steven Bradford Commits to Building Upon Weber’s Legacy as Next Black Caucus Chair

By Tanu Henry California Black Media

Last week, the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC) elected Sen. Steven Bradford (D-Gardena) chair of the group comprised of African Americans serving in the state Legislature.

Bradford, 60, who is the longest-serving member in the caucus and the only African American member of the California Senate, is succeeding the CLBC’s outgoing chair Dr. Shirley N. Weber (D-San Diego). Two weeks ago, Gov. Gavin Newsom nominated Weber for the soon-to-be open California Secretary of State position, which will be vacated

by Alex Padilla. The governor appointed Padilla to replace Sen. Kamala Harris as California’s junior Senator in the United States Congress.

Bradford, who chairs the Senate Committee on Public Safety and also leads the Senate’s Select Committee on the Status of Boys and Men of Color, promised to continue -- and build on --Weber’s many accomplishments as head of the CLBC. “We are grateful for Dr. Weber’s leadership during her time with the Caucus and have no doubt she will lead with the same passion and desire for equality and justice as Secretary of State. I look forward

Sen. Steven Bradford. Photo from CA.gov.

to serving in a similar fashion of Dr. Weber and previous chairs championing African American issues for the state and nation,” said Bradford, who served as vice chair of the CLBC during the last legislative session.

Bradford said Weber made significant progress passing legislation that focused on social justice, education, criminal justice reform and equity for Black Americans and other ethnic minorities in California.

The CLBC, which has existed for more than 50 years now, prides itself on the influence it has had over the last halfcentury crafting legislation to promote racial and gender equality in California.

“With the support of my colleagues, I intend to continue

and build upon the successes she achieved while serving as chair,” Bradford said, referring to Weber.

Bradford says the CLBC has identified the issues it will prioritize over the next year.

“We will be tackling issues such as the massively disproportionate effect of COVID-19 on Black Californians, establishing a more transparent and accountable police system, enhancing economic opportunity through social equity programs, protecting the state’s ratepayers from unfair energy policies, supporting our formerly incarcerated with rehabilitative programs, pursuing representation in all forms of government, and so much more,” he said. “I look forward to all that we will accomplish together and remain committed to making California a more prosperous, diverse, and equitable state for all Californians.”

During Bradford’s tenure as chair, Assemblymember Sydney Kamlager (D-Los Angeles) will serve as vice chair; Assemblymember Kevin McCarty (D-Sacramento) will serve as secretary; and Assemblymember Jim Cooper will continue in his role as the group’s treasurer.

Bradford was first elected to the California Legislature in 2009 to represent the 51st District in Los Angeles County in

But, she said, California shouldn’t be thinking about the instructional calendar as consisting of “what we can we cram in only by May. We should think about this as the continuous process of solving for learning and taking advantage of the many other innovations that are going on in this state.”

These could include everything from outdoor classrooms, expedition schools and project-based learning to interactive online materials that have become regular additions to teacher’s toolboxes.

In general, summer schools

are low-budget affairs, typically providing instruction for a small subset of students who have to make up for lost credits that they need to graduate, or to advance to the next grade.

As described in an EdSource report, summer schools took a huge hit during the Great Recession a decade ago, and many have never fully recovered.

Most summer programs, often described as “enrichment programs,” are private ones that only higher-income parents have been able to afford, further widening achievement gaps between higher- and lower-income students.

A notable exception is the

ambitious and creative summer program launched last summer

by Los Angeles Unified School District, which was intended to be accessible to all its students.

Neither Darling-Hammond nor Newsom provided details about what they will be proposing in his January budget.

But Newsom stressed that the issue of how to ensure that children catch up and succeed is a major concern of his -- like it is of most parents, he said.

“I can assure you it is not only top of mind, it’s foundational in terms of the budget that we’ll be submitting for consideration to the Legislature.”

He served in that role until 2014. In 2016, he was elected to the State Senate, representing the 35th District, which covers a section of the Los Angeles area that stretches north, beginning in inland areas of the South Bay and encompassing the communities of Carson, Compton, Gardena, Harbor City, Hawthorne, Inglewood, Lawndale, Lennox, San Pedro, Torrance, Watts, Willowbrook and Wilmington.

Other members of the CLBC are: Assemblymember Chris R. Holden (D-Pasadena), Assemblymember Mike Gipson (D-Carson) and Assemblymember Autumn Burke (DSouth Bay, Los Angeles).

Weber says she will continue to work with the CLBC in her new role as Secretary of State.

“It is a bittersweet moment as I pass the leadership torch to Senator Steven Bradford. The California Legislative Black Caucus is a small but mighty group of nine members. Together, we have been a powerful force, united and unwavering in our commitment to fight and win tough battles to improve the lives of Black Californians,” Weber said. “I thank the Black Caucus for its support during my tenure as chair, and I have full trust and confidence in Senator Bradford to take on the leadership of the Caucus. I also look forward to building on the partnership between the Secretary of State’s office and the CLBC to protect and expand voting rights in California.”

1/6, 1/13, 1/20/21 CNS-3428234# MARIN COUNTY POST

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF OLLIE THOMPSON CASE NO. RP20071101

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: OLLIE THOMPSON AKA JOSH THOMPSON A Petition for Probate has been filed by GENERAL THOMPSON AND GARY THOMPSON in the Superior Court of California, County of ALAMEDA. The Petition for Probate requests that GENERAL THOMPSON AND GARY THOMPSON be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The Petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court on 1/22/2021 at 2:00 P.M. in Dept. 201 Room N/A located at 2120 MARTIN LUTHER KING JR WAY, BERKELEY, CA 94704.

MANDATORY APPEARANCE:

REMOTE

The Court requires all parties who wish to attend the hearing on the above date and time, including those who wish to state objections, to appear by audio or video technology.

The parties should consult the court’s website for the specific telephonic and video applications available. The parties may also contact the probate clerk in the respective department for information concerning remote appearances. Parties must be present at least five (5) minutes before the scheduled hearing time.

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Petitioner: GENERAL THOMPSON 4172 E. STREET, EUREKA, CA 95503 / GARY THOMPSON, P.P. BOX 22159, OAKLAND, CA 94623-2159, Telephone: 510-915-2440

In First Act of New Congress, Louisville Terminates Police Involved Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee in Death of Breonna Taylor Introduces Reparations Bill

By Stacy M. Brown, NNPA Newswire

By Stacy M. Brown, NNPA Newswire

With the start of the 117th Congress this week, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), a senior member of the House Committees on Judiciary, Budget, and Homeland Security, has reaffirmed her quest for legislation that could eventually provide reparations for descendants of slavery victims.

On Monday, Jackson Lee re-introduced H.R. 40, a bill that would fund a committee to explore whether Black Americans should receive reparations for slavery.

While it does not directly introduce payments, the Commission would study racial inequities and policy solutions.

“In short, the Commission aims to study the impact of slavery and continuing discrimination against African Americans, resulting directly and indirectly from slavery to segregation to the desegregation process and the present day,” stated Jackson Lee. The congresswoman also serves as the ranking member of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security and Investigations.

“The Commission would also make recommendations concerning any form of apology and compensation to begin the long-delayed process of atonement for slavery.”

Under H.R. 40, the Commission would comprise members appointed by the White House and both chambers of Congress.

The bill has had increased support with 147 co-sponsors in the House, all Democrats.

Because Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (RKentucky) and Republicans in the Senate have indicated strong opposition to taking up the measure up in that chamber, the Georgia runoff elections count as a huge step toward getting the bill passed.

Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock defeated Republican incumbents Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue on Tuesday.

“The impact of slavery and its vestiges continues to affect African Americans and indeed all Americans in communities

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), Jill Karnicki, Staff photographer, Houston Chronicle).

throughout our nation,” Jackson Lee remarked.

“This legislation is intended to examine the institution of slavery in the colonies and the United States from 1619 to the present, and further recommend appropriate remedies.

Since the initial introduction of this legislation, its proponents have made substantial progress in elevating the discussion of reparations and reparatory justice at the national level and joining the mainstream international debate on the issues.”

Jackson Lee noted that some have “tried to deflect” the importance of these conversations by focusing on individual monetary compensation.

“The real issue is whether and how this nation can come to grips with the legacy of slavery that still infects current society.

Through legislation, resolutions, news, and litigation, we are moving closer to making more strides in the movement toward reparations,” Jackson Lee said.

The Texas Congresswoman noted that she expects more cosponsors during the new Congress.

“Today, there are more people at the table — more activists, more scholars, more CEO’s, more state and local officials, and more Members of Congress,” she declared.

“However, despite this progress and the election of the first American President of African descent, the legacy of slavery lingers heavily in this nation. While we have focused

on the social effects of slavery and segregation, its continuing economic implications remain largely ignored by mainstream analysis.”

Jackson Lee continued: “These economic issues are the root cause of many critical issues in the African American community today, such as education, healthcare, and criminal justice policy, including policing practices. The call for reparations represents a commitment to entering a constructive dialogue on the role of slavery and racism in shaping present-day conditions in our community and American society.

“I believe that H.R. 40 is a crucial piece of legislation because it goes beyond exploring the economic implications of slavery and segregation.

“It is a holistic bill in the sense that it seeks to establish a commission to also examine the moral and social implications of slavery.

“In short, the Commission aims to study the impact of slavery and to address continuing disparities in the African American community and discrimination against the African American community, resulting directly and indirectly from slavery to segregation.

“After its study, the Commission would offer proposals concerning the long-term impact of slavery and bring about solutions to these ongoing disparities in the African American Community.”

Hip Hop Pioneer Dr. Dre Hospitalized in Los Angeles After Suffering Brain Aneurysm

By Stacy M. Brown, NNPA Newswire

Hip Hop pioneer Dr. Dre, who first rose to fame in the 1980s with the rap group N.W.A. and later co-founded Death Row Records, has reportedly suffered a brain aneurysm.

The mogul, whose legal name is Andre Young, was hospitalized on Monday at Los Angeles’ Cedars Sinai Medical Center.

The celebrity website, T.M.Z., was the first to report the icon’s hospitalization.

T.M.Z. cited sources close to Dr. Dre and those with direct knowledge, noting that he was taken directly to I.C.U., where he remained on Tuesday.

Dr. Dre, 55, reportedly is stable and lucid, but doctors haven’t determined what caused his internal bleeding.

His physicians are reportedly performing tests and continue to treat the multiple Grammyaward winner.

Teaming up with Eazy-E, Ice Cube, Yella, MC Ren, the Arabian Prince, and the D.O.C., Dr. Dre formed N.W.A. in 1985.

Dr. Dre, 55, was hospitalized on Monday at Los Angeles’ Cedars Sinai Medical Center.

The group quickly earned a reputation for relaying the reality of South Central Los Angeles’ hard-scrabble streets.

Their sophomore album, “Straight Outta Compton,” went double platinum and cemented N.W.A.’s legacy as ‘gangsta rap’s’ originators.

N.W.A. shined a spotlight on police brutality in the Black community by releasing the famous and controversial song, “F—Tha Police.”

In 1991, Dr. Dre teamed

with Marion “Suge” Knight to form Death Row Records, a label where Dr. Dre released his seminal album, “The Chronic,” which featured “Nuthin But a ‘G’ Thang with rising star Snoop Dogg.

The icon has become even more famous with his Beats Electronics business, including the popular “Beats By Dre” wireless headphones.

In 2014, Apple purchased Beats Electronics for $3 billion.

The City of Louisville, Ky., on Wednesday, fired Det. Myles Cosgrove, the police officer who shot and killed Breonna Taylor, and Det. Joshua Jaynes, the officer who sought the warrant that led to the fatal and flawed raid of Taylor’s home in March 2020.

Officer Brett Hankison was fired in June 2020. In September, a grand jury indicted him on charges of endangering Taylor’s neighbors by shooting through a nearby apartment’s windows.

The terminations were announced as the city named former Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields to head Louisville’s department.

Each of the officers is white.

Both Cosgrove and Jaynes have 10 days to appeal the decision made by Louisville Metro Police Dept. Interim Chief Yvette Gentry.

Taylor, a Black woman, was in bed sleeping next to her boyfriend when the officers attempted to serve a no-knock search warrant.

Officers falsely associated Taylor with a former boyfriend’s alleged drug activities because they claimed that the man used Taylor’s address, making the house fair game for a police raid.

After a grand jury failed

Breonna Taylor.

to indict the officers, a defiant Kentucky Attorney General, Daniel Cameron, initially refused to release the recording of the grand jury proceedings in Taylor’s case despite a judge’s order.

Judge Ann Bailey Smith ruled that the recording and all discovery documents must be made public, which were released in early October, 2020.

Taylor, a 26-year-old former EMT worker, was shot at least a half-dozen times when officers breached her apartment to serve the warrant.

One member of the grand jury argued that Cameron “attempted to make very clear that the grand jury alone made the decision on who and what to charge.”

The anonymous juror added

that “the only exception to the responsibility he foisted upon the grand jurors was in his statement that they ‘agreed’ with his team’s investigation that Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly and officer Myles Cosgrove were justified in their actions.”

“It’s a compelling public interest for these proceedings to be released,” the juror continued in court filings.

“The citizens of this Commonwealth have demonstrated their lack of faith in the process and proceedings in this matter and the justice system itself.

Using the grand jurors as a shield to deflect accountability and responsibility for these decisions only sow more seeds of doubt in the process while leaving a cold chill down the spines of future grand jurors.”

You can also record your hikes, and share your photos, comments etc. with others.

Trails Challenge is sponsored by the park district, the Regional Parks Foundation, and Kaiser Permanente HMO. Every year at least 10,000 people participate.

There’s a challenge trail near you no matter where you live in Alameda or Contra Costa Counties. They range in difficulty from easy to strenuous, so there’s something for every fitness level.

Some examples: there are easy challenge trails at Radke Martinez Regional Shoreline, Kennedy Grove Regional Recreation Area in El Sobrante, and Brushy Peak Regional Preserve near Livermore.

For a moderate hike, visit Coyote Hills Regional Park in Fremont, Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park in Oakland, or Wildcat Canyon Regional Park in Richmond.

Challenging hikes are available at Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve in Antioch, Las Trampas Regional Wilderness in San Ramon, and Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley.

The guidebook also has lots of good information on safety, equipment, and hiking with kids and pets.

Unfortunately, we are all still contending with the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic. So the park district urg-

es everyone to visit the parks only with immediate family or household members. Also please observe social distancing of six feet, and have masks available for use when social distancing is impossible, such as on narrow trails or at park gates. Please pack out your trash; do not leave trash or dog waste bags on the trail.

The good news is that although all visitor centers remain closed to the public, several parks that were initially closed have now reopened.

These include Round Valley south of Brentwood, Shadow Cliffs in Pleasanton (with boat launch by hand only), and Sunol Regional Wilderness in southern Alameda County.

For up-to-date information on what’s open or closed, click on “COVID-19 Closures” at the top of any page at the park district website. * * * Here’s a retraction of sorts.

I’ve been recommending the Stage Road Trail at Diablo Foothills in Walnut Creek as a good, relatively mud-free place to hike.

However I was out there recently after light rains, and a lot of the trail is pretty soft under foot. The mud isn’t deep, but it is slippery. Not to mention the four stream crossings within the park. Pine Creek has been bone dry, but will likely be wet now that it has rained.

This time of year, a good tactic is to have a cardboard box and a pair of dry shoes in your vehicle. After the hike, you can put your muddy boots in the box and wear the spare shoes home.

State, Local Leaders Denounce Actions of D.C. Protesters, Trump

By Keith Burbank Bay City News Service

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday decried the actions of a mob of supporters of President Donald Trump who stormed the Capitol building in Washington, D.C., and San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo said Trump should be put on trial for sedition.

Supporters of the president overcame police and breached the U.S. Capitol earlier Wednesday as both chambers of Congress were in session to hold hearings on the certification of the Electoral College vote following November’s election of former Vice President Joe Biden as president.

“Peaceful protest is an important mechanism of our democracy but what we are witnessing in our nation’s Capitol building is reprehensible and an outright assault to our democracy and Democratic institutions,” Newsom said in a

“Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order - respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue,” he wrote on Twitter earlier in the day.

Liccardo said, “For this atrocious, dismaying display in our Capitol Building, Donald Trump should be tried for sedition. As a former federal prosecutor, I refer our next U.S. Attorney General to 18 USC Sections 2384 & 2385.

“Under the Supreme Court’s holding in Nixon v.

Fitzgerald, the President is not immune from criminal prosecution, and this President has violated Section 2384 of Title 18 of the United States Code by publicly inciting the use of unlawful means to undermine the will of the electorate.”

President-elect Joseph Biden struck a similar tone.

statement.

He canceled his regular update on the state’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic in the state to make sure staff members of the governor’s office were safe.

Newsom said the state’s congressional delegation should not have to fear for their safety while representing their citizens, and his office was reaching out to help protect California leaders.

“President Trump must

call for an end to this escalating situation, acknowledge the will of the people to bring President-Elect Biden to the White House and move immediately to a peaceful transition of power,” Newsom said.

Shortly before Newsom issued his statement, President Trump went on Twitter in a recorded video and said, “I know your pain. I know you’re hurt.

Rep. Barbara Lee tweeted “I am in a safe location with my colleagues. I’m praying for the safety of everyone in the area. Donald Trump is the only person responsible for this attempted coup. Our democracy will prevail.”

tween the availability and utilization of minority- and women-owned businesses in four industries construction, architecture and engineering, professional services, and goods and services,” seeking to design remedies to existing disparities that are in accord with existing federal and state laws that limit the legality of race-based policies for reducing discriminatory practices, according to a Dec. 9, 2020, report on the City Council agenda.

The city had hired Mason Tillman Associates in 2017 for a total cost of $590,036.25 to complete the study. Required by the City Charter, this is the first study since 2008, examining all prime contracts between July 1, 2011, and June 30, 2016.

The consulting firm contacted all companies the city hired during this period to learn about the subcontracts they used to determine if they were awarded to minority-owned businesses.

The 302-page study also examined the practices impacting who gets contracts and makes recommendations for the fu-

ture.

Chapter 3 of the study, “Prime Contractor Utilization,” examined 7,780 contracts issued between 2011 and 2016 for $566 million.

These included 530 contracts for construction, totaling $271,864,842; 1,509 contracts for professional services, totaling $121,529, 429.

There were 1,454 contracts for services, totaling $61,379.771; and 4,287 contracts for Goods and Commodities totaled $111,511,222.

In construction, the city awarded 530 contracts during the study period. Prime contracts were awarded to 91 different businesses. Eight of the 91 businesses received a little over $192 million or 71% of the total construction prime contract dollars.

“The findings illustrate that a small group of prime contractors received the majority of the construction prime contact dollars awarded by the city,” according to the study.

African American contractors won 17 or 3.21% of the

construction contracts during the study period for a total of 0.32% of the money or $873,374. The top earners, “Non-minority Males,” won 366 or 69.06% of the contracts, totaling $211,485,354 or 77.79% of the money.

In the category of professional services prime contacts, 45 of the total number of 439 businesses received $85,127,088 or 70% of the prime contract dollars.

“The findings illustrate that a small group of prime contractors received the majority of the professional services prime contract dollars spent by the city,” according to the study.

Taylor cited Oakland’s 2018 Equity Indicators Report which found, “white contractors (in Oakland) receiving an average of $1,059,209 per contract, which was 11.87 times the average of African American contractors which was $89,191 per contract.”

Suga-T Seeks Social Change Via Sprinkle Me Learning Academy, Reveals The Scintillating New “Rapademic” Remedy

By Soren Baker

Suga-T wants to make a change.

As the world grapples with COVID-19 and the United States deals with the resulting economic challenges, the Vallejo rapper and entrepreneur saw mental health and educational needs skyrocket in her community. So Suga-T decided to take a two-step approach in order to help.

First, she provided free, online classes via the Sprinkle Me Learning Academy, which offers skills-building, personal transformation, professional development, and enrichment, as well as mental health initiatives, emergency COVID-19 resources, staff development, and workforce development support.

Founded in 2015 and named after the hit collaboration with platinum-selling rap star E-40, the Sprinkle Me Learning Academy and its coaches focus on teaching enrollees pandemic survival skills, as well as courses that center on keeping students and partners healthy, safe, economically empowered, and inspired.

“It is unfortunate that vulnerable populations are impacted, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic,” says Suga-T, who holds two master’s degrees, is a wellness and vision coach, and a life skills and personal transformation expert. “Without some help, our culture, our community, and our artists are negatively impacted.

“This is not the best time to sit on these matters.” The second portion of Suga-T’s new initiative is “The Rapademic,” her thought-provoking, recently released album now available at all digital retailers.

The sonically sharp LP hits with the same force as the hard-core rap sound she helped shape in the 1990s as a

member of The Click with her brothers E-40 and D-Shot, and cousin B-Legit.

Thematically, “The Rapademic” soars thanks to such songs as “Truth,” which focuses on dealing with reality not propaganda, and “Flowers,” which tracks rap’s evolution and details some of what SugaT sees as the genre’s problems.

On “My Best Worst,” she raps about how she overcame obstacles as a domestic violence victim, teen mother, and young grandmother to remain relevant in a male-dominated industry that is quick to dismiss its female veterans. After 20 albums and 36 years in the music industry, “The Rapademic” shows that Suga-T remains lyrically sharp while delivering her own brand of community empowerment and edutainment.

“Just because you’re an older female in hip-hop doesn’t mean it’s the end of your career,” she says. “I’m proving a point that hip-hop is not a young woman’s game and that I’m not done. I’m representing for women who don’t want to only glorify sex, money, alcohol, drugs, violence, stripping, and bullying.

“(Wednesday), he further incited that anger and inspired those supporters to march down Pennsylvania Avenue, attack police officers and break into the Capitol in what can only be described as a violent insurrection against the United States government.

“There was an armed standoff at the doors of the House chamber, tear gas deployed in the Capitol rotunda, and people scaling the walls of the U.S. Capitol. Donald Trump is actively seeking to dismantle our institutions and our faith in de-

mocracy itself. “(Wednesday night), we went back to the floor to fulfill our duty in Congress to certify the results of the 2020 election as a show of strength for our democracy. Republicans can and must turn the page away from the hate and violence spewed

by Trump, which incited this insurrection. Trump’s attempt to sabotage our democracy will not succeed. Our democracy is bigger than any one person and it will prevail.”
