Do Rappers Know What is Best for Us? Commentary

By J. Alfred Smith, Sr.

Many more young people listen to rappers rather than preachers! Rapper T-Pain says white people should stop celebrating Black History Month. “You are separating us again,” he says or words to that effect. “We want to be part of history, not just one month.”

Kanye West is trying to do what a gang of white supremacists and anti-critical race theorists have wanted to do for years: cancel Black History Month. West’s mother was part of Jesse Jackson’s Operation P.U.S.H. and his father was a member of the Black Panther Party. West says his daughter would not have known that

Schaaf Seeks to Start $500 Million in Construction to Back Howard Terminal Real Estate Deal ‘The federal and state money they are using are tax dollars, and that money should be spent on our neighborhoods,’ says Councilmember Noel Gallo

By Ken Epstein Mayor Libby Schaaf’s administration is seeking to create a nearly $450 million fund, called “TOWN for All,” to pour public resources into upgrading areas around the Port of Oakland’s Howard Terminal, transforming what is now an industrial landscape into one that would be suitable and safe for affluent residents, retail customers and baseball fans who are expected to come to billionaire John Fisher’s stadium, high-end condominiums and retail complex. By comparison with the almost $450 million, the entire budget of the Oakland Unified School District last year was $705 million. To begin implementing the

February is Black History Month — an annual commemoration of the achievements of Black Americans and their remarkable impact on history. It’s a time to celebrate the cultural heritage shaped by generations of Black Americans, who for many decades have fought for equity – a fight that continues today. Though advancements have been made, there is still so much work to be done in our communities in the pursuit of racial equity. For more on how JPMorgan Chase is honoring Black History Month, and how you can too, we sat down with Myesha Brown, Oakland Community Manager from the branch at 3005 Broadway, to discuss some impactful ways to celebrate and support the Black community, not just this month — but all year long. Oakland Post: What type of investments is Chase making to bolster the financial health of its Black customers and communities? Brown: Let’s first talk about Black History Month. We’re committed to driving real and sustainable change for the Black community here at Chase and around the world. We’re using this time to both

From the way we do business to the policies we advocate for, our commitments are part of a continued effort to bring an enhanced equity lens to JPMorgan Chase’s businesses and how we serve all customers, clients, communities and employees.

Fundraiser to Replace Stolen Violin for Music Teacher Tarika Lewis By Levant Obulié

Tarika Lewis, a tireless community servant who has taught music to young people in the East Bay for decades, lost her prized, custom-made violin when her car was burglarized last month. The community is seeking help to get Lewis’ instrument replaced. Thieves broke into her car and stole her violin on Jan. 12. In addition to its rich sound and multiple attachments, this violin has tremendous historical and sentimental value to Mama Tarika — as she is affectionately known — and is very special to her. Over the decades, the violin has traveled the world with her when she performed with jazz greats, including the late Dizzy Gillespie and Sarah Vaughan. The violin has also

teaches music to over 30-60 children per day. She was the first woman ever to join the Black Panther Party in Oakland, California, back in 1967 and as a teacher, writer, and artist she has continued giving back to her community throughout her entire life. There is no way to fully replace the value of the original instrument. However, we can help Mama Tarika purchase a new violin with high-quality sound so that she can continue to provide high-quality music education to her violin students throughout the area. A GoFundMe has been organized on Lewis’ behalf. We strongly urge all to come to-

Learning Black History Year-Round

Florence Mills: A Little Blackbird By Tamara Shiloh

At age 5, Baby Florence made her stage debut. Even then, Florence Mills (1896–1927), named Florence Winfrey at birth, boasted talent that captivated audiences with song and dance. By age 8, she was working with a touring company in vaudeville but was forced to quit before authorities discovered her age. Nellie and John Winfrey relocated their family to Harlem in 1905. Finding work was difficult for the former slaves, and the family struggled financially. Everyone had to pitch in. Still a teen and passionate

about song and dance, young Florence formed a vaudeville act (1910), this time with her older siblings Olivia and Maude, dubbing the troupe the Mills Sisters. They performed on stages throughout Harlem. When the 1920s hit, and Harlem clubs were filled every night with all of Manhattan, Mills’ career exploded. Vaudeville veterans Noble Sissle and Eubie Blake created and produced the musical comedy “Shuffle Along.” Mills joined the all-Black cast to replace actress and comedienne Gertrude Saunders. Mills’ performance of “I’m Craving for That Kind of Love” made her an instant sensation in “Shuffle Along” the first all-Black hit Broadway show. This was a landmark in African American musical theater. The performance earned Mills a reputation for her voice, unique dance movements, and comedic timing. She was described by reviewers as “an unparalleled force during the Harlem Renaissance.” Cultural historians today consider “Shuffle Along” the “catalyst of the Harlem Renaissance.” Later that same year, Mills again replaced Saunders, tak-

ing on the starring role of Ruth Little. The show ran for more than 200 performances on Broadway. Mills later appeared in musical revues including “Plantation Revue” (1922), “From Dover Street to Dixie” (1923), “Dixie Street to Broadway” (1924), and “Blackbirds” (1926). Her voice again catapulted her career when she sang “I’m a Little Blackbird Looking for a Bluebird.” The performance won her acclaim and led to the internationally successful Blackbird Revue. She toured at the London Pavilion, in Paris, and other European cities. “I’m a Little Blackbird” was said to have been Mills’ plea for racial equality. Mills received favorable reviews in European venues. She told the press that despite her years in vaudeville, she always credited “Shuffle Along” with launching her career. Mills was admired by the Black press, who viewed her as “a role model serving as an ambassador of good will from the blacks to the whites...a living example of the potentialities of the Negro of ability when given a chance to make good.” By 1926, Mills became exhausted from the many London performances and took ill with tuberculosis. She died in New York City the following year. A multifaceted performer who paved the way for other Black female stars during the Harlem Renaissance, Mills earned critical praise as a graceful dancer and confident comedienne with a delightful voice. To learn more about Mills, read Bill Egan’s “Florence Mills: Harlem Jazz Queen.” For children, read “Harlem’s Little Blackbird: The Story of Florence Mills” by Renee Watson.

Don’t Look Far. Honor the Black History Around You Opinion

By Chief John Keene, Special to California Black Media Partners

Happy Black History Month. It seems media coverage of Black History Month this year is getting lost in the merry-goround of breaking news stories — from shifting COVID guidelines and skyrocketing food and gas prices to shocking crime stories and growing concerns about our military getting involved in Ukraine. Add to that the constant distractions of TikTok, Facebook reels and other social media platforms all competing for our attention. But whether or not the media gives Black History Month the attention it deserves, most African Americans realize how important it is to commemorate our history — and its important contribution to American history. So, we pause to honor our past, celebrate our forebears and pat ourselves on the back for the many contributions we have made to this country. And we invite all Americans to celebrate Black History Month, too. It is all around us. There’s Black history to learn about in your neighborhoods, at your jobs, in your city and in your churches. Knowing about the struggles and contributions of Black Americans can enrich our understanding of each other and the hard-won freedoms Americans of all backgrounds often take for granted. As the chief probation officer for San Mateo County, and as the current president of the Chief Probation Officers of California, I have a very important responsibility in the positions that I hold to sustain

Chief John Keene, chief probation officer for San Mateo County.

a legacy built by many before me who have paved the way. In probation, as in society, it is vital that all cultures are recognized, and Black history is no different. It is important for our deputies and staff to know that the path to get here was paved by the trials and tribulations of the people before us. Most African Americans in the 1940s and 1950s were limited to opportunities within correctional facilities and did not have the opportunities to start off as deputy probation officers or elevate to that rank. Shockingly, the first Black deputy probation officers and staff were not widely known to be employed around the country until the 1970s and 1980s. Today, over 20% of deputy probation officers in California are African American. That diversity extends to gender (51% are women), and other races as well (72% of deputy probation officers are non-white). Probation today is even further diversified by educational backgrounds (the majority of

officers have four-year degrees), and many probation departments employ former justice system-involved individuals. Importantly, Probation’s diversity also extends to our leadership with just over 10% of probation chiefs in California being African American. On the shoulders of AfricanAmerican pathbreakers, we take our seats as leaders of our profession with honor and humility. For me, the weight of leading the association of the leaders of our profession is a reflection of the important role of Black History in probation that has led to the diversity and inclusion we see now. The weight and responsibility of this history, I carry proudly. With that diversity comes cultural competency and lived experiences. That understanding and sensibility equips probation to be an indispensable aspect of the criminal justice system. It is the connection between punishment and rehabilitation, breaking down barriers to help justice-involved people turn their lives around and leave the system permanently, creating long-term, sustainable safety in our communities. It is also what attracts even greater diversity to our ranks: this desire to help people succeed. As a former police officer, attorney, deputy probation officer and now chief, my experience has helped me tremendously in feeling a sense of empathy for the life experiences of the people we serve. It has helped me understand the challenges of young people I talk to with who have had

City Council Certifies Final Environmental Impact Report Necessary for New A’s Ballpark

Oakland (BCN)

The Oakland A’s are another step closer to a new ballpark in their namesake city thanks to councilmembers who voted late Feb. 17 night to certify the Final Environmental Impact Report for the park. Councilmembers voted 6-2 to pave the way for a binding financial agreement between the City and the A’s. That may happen this summer. Councilmembers Noel Gallo and Carroll Fife opposed the certification. The project is located in Fife’s district, District 3. Fife asked the A’s to have a conversation with the people who live and have lived in areas such as West Oakland, which will be impacted by the project, because many people have concerns. Gallo maintained that the Coliseum location is the best place for the A’s. About 400 people commentT:12"ed over a period of about five Continued on page 8 hours before the vote. Trades-

people like plumbers and iron workers favored the project because it will mean jobs. “Don’t delay, vote today” was their refrain during the public comment period. “Tonight’s vote by the City Council was a historic moment for Oakland’s future,” said Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf. “The companion resolution by Councilmembers Bas, Kaplan, and Kalb ensures that all Oaklanders will benefit from the proposed waterfront ballpark district, and that a world-class development with 18 acres of new public parks, 3,000 units of housing — including new

affordable housing — will get built with the most sustainable and highest environmental standards on our waterfront.” Schaaf said Feb. 17 night’s action was “more than just a milestone”. “It’s a giant leap forward in our shared mission to create a regional destination that gives back our waterfront to the public, connects a new vibrant neighborhood to our downtown, and provides tens of thousands good union jobs for our residents — and it does it all while keeping our beloved A’s rooted in Oakland,” Schaaf added.

‘Where’s Rodney?’ Encourages Black Children to Explore the Great Outdoors

By Carla Thomas “Where’s Rodney?” a children’s book by Oakland author and publisher Carmen Bogan is at the center of a unique program in New York that intersects the great outdoors, reading, and elementary school children. Featured by the New York Botanical Gardens (NYBG) commemorating Black History Month, children are encouraged to enjoy nature and engage in reading portions of the book on park trails. The program is currently underway through Feb. 28, 2022. In collaboration with Yosemite Conservancy, Bogan’s story of an urban African American boy who wants to explore the

Lakeview Tiny Homes Are Segregated, Critic Says Chase Bank Executive Opinion

By Nino Parker, introduction by Zack Haber

Since Nov. 16, Black Oakland residents Nino Parker and Assata Olugbala have been protesting outside The Lakeview Village, a tiny home community sitting along East 12th Street near Lake Merritt that Oakland has been using to shelter homeless people. Parker and Olugbala call it a racially segregated community. One portion of the community is made up of people who used to live in tents, self-made homes, and vehicles at Union Point Park. Before living in the park, many of these people were evicted from homes in Alameda. After protests and negotiations with Oakland in March 2021, these people were able to secure a degree of selfgovernance in exchange for them agreeing to move from Union Point Park to a portion of The Lakeview Village called

a “co-governed encampment.” During the site’s setup, the City of Oakland rented out hotel rooms for them. While they currently live in the same small pallet shelters as others onsite, this crew is in the process of building additional infrastructure for themselves and provides some of their own security. People living in the other portion of Lakeview Village don’t live in a “co-governed

encampment” and aren’t allowed the same degree of selfgovernance. They can’t build their own infrastructure and don’t have access to some of the services that those who live in the “co-governed encampment” have. The following are Parker’s words edited for readability and brevity: My name is Nino Parker, homeless Black advocate, Bay Area. Recently, a lot of people have heard there’s been an is-

sue at the Lakeview tiny homes. The problem is there are two neighboring communities, with a fence that separates them. One community is made of almost entirely white people who used to live in Alameda. Of the 15 people that live there, only two are Black. That side got an advantage of having not only hotels that added up to $66,000 in bills, but they also got $350,000 in funding. On the other side of the fence, the community is mainly Black and mixed-race people from Oakland. It’s unfair to take up spaces that should be for people at the lake and give them to folks from Alameda. I’ve called into City Council many times, and I’ve also addressed Mayor Schaaf on this issue. We can’t have the administration formulate pilot programs that separate whites and Blacks. It’s also important that we take a look and make sure that there’s equality when it comes to finances that are going to each side of this community. To read the full story, go to postnewsgroup.com

The Legacy of Trayvon Martin 10 Years Later By Brandon Patterson

Saturday will mark 10 years since the murder of Trayvon Martin, the Black teenager whose death in Florida polarized the nation and set off a national wave of protests in 2012. Martin was shot and killed in Sanford, a suburb outside of Miami, while returning home from the corner store with Skittles and iced tea. The hoodie he was wearing became a national symbol of racial injustice and protest. Martin was killed on Feb. 26, 2012, by George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch coordinator who didn’t believe the boy had a legitimate reason for walking through the gated community. Authorities initially took

Trayvon Martin

Zimmerman’s word for how the encounter turned deadly and initially failed to arrest him until April 11, 2012, after pressure mounted from community protests and national media coverage. A year later, when Zimmerman was acquitted on July 13, 2013, nationwide protests were reignited. Historians, journalists, and civil rights activists view those protests as an early catalyst for

the Black Lives Matter movement. The hashtag #BlackLivesMatter was first used online in response to the Martin case, coming into wide use until 2014, after the police murders of Eric Garner on July 17, Michael Brown on Aug. 9, and Tamir Rice on Nov. 22. A more organized, national Black Lives Matter movement emerged in the wake of these cases of police violence. The Martin case polarized the nation at the time, with competing narratives about what happened — and what kind of person Martin was — offered in conservative and liberal media, and heated debates nightly on cable news. Remarks that former President Barack Obama gave after the shooting that gained national attention have also been touted as a pivotal moment in his presidency,

in which, for the first time, he spoke on an issue of race citing personal experience as a Black man. “If I had a son he’d look like Trayvon,” Obama said in remarks at the White House on July 19, 2013. “And I think [his parents] are right to expect that all of us as Americans are going to treat this with the seriousness it deserves and get to the bottom of what happened.” Martin’s family held their annual peace walk earlier this month to mark what would have been his 27th birthday. His mother, Sybrina Fulton, also penned a personal essay reflecting on her loss, which is available on Amazon. In a television interview on ‘Good Morning, America’earlier this month, Fulton also reflected on how her life has changed, and how the country has changed, since the death of her son.

Reveals Ways Bank Supports Black Community Continued from page 1

es, increasing homeownership rates, providing better access to affordable housing and more, Chase is committed to helping close the racial wealth gap and driving economic inclusion. We’re also giving underbanked communities better access to the necessary resources to improve financial health. But the work doesn’t stop there. Every day we collaborate with community partners, policymakers, customers and employees to continue improving the financial health of underrepresented communities. Oakland Post: How is Chase helping to accelerate Blackowned businesses? Brown: In 2020, Chase announced its $30 billion racial equity commitment, a fiveyear plan that includes assisting entrepreneurs in historically underserved areas to access coaching, technical assistance and capital. Chase has also provided 15,000 loans to small businesses in diverse communities. Additionally, Chase offers a suite of helpful tools for Black and diverse-owned businesses. For example, we offer one-onone counseling with a business banking professional, access to the Chase for Business Resource Center and membership to the JPMorgan Chase Supplier Diversity Network (SDN). Oakland Post: What are some ways people can support the economic growth of the Black community? Brown: Black History Month is a great reminder that, while some advancement has been made, there is room for improvement. In February 2019, JPMorgan Chase launched Advancing Black Pathways (ABP) to strengthen the economic foundation of the Black community. ABP focuses on four key areas where there are racial

and economic disparities that can create barriers to long-term financial success: careers and skills, business development, financial health and wealth creation, and community development. These four key areas acknowledge the power and importance that entrepreneurship plays in the Black community Unfortunately, the racial wealth gap widened during the COVID-19 pandemic, with only 5% of Black Americans holding business equity — a key driver of wealth — compared to 15% of white Americans. There are many impactful ways to support economic growth of Black Americans on local and national levels, during Black History Month and all year long. Consider these opportunities: • Purchase a product from, or solicit the services of, a Black-owned business. • Spread the word about your favorite Black-owned brands. • Donate to a nonprofit that is working to advance racial equity. • Follow a Black business on social media and engage with their posts to help build their online presence. We know that owning a business represents the best path to the middle class. So, if we are to make meaningful progress in closing the racial wealth divide, entrepreneurship must be a key part of the equation. We can never lose sight of that dream.

Kamala Harris, Barbara Lee and Nancy Pelosi lead U.S. Delegation’s Ukrainian “Peace Mission” in Munich 3 Days Before Russia attacks Ukraine

Barbara Lee’s statement: We’re here to make it clear that, of course, Congress remains fully committed to NATO and our transatlantic partnership. We remain committed to our NATO allies and to the people of Ukraine. We’re here also to remain and say, once again, we are here to protect our own country’s national security interests. Also, I want to re-emphasize the fact that we all know and are here to talk about democracy. Democracy remains the most essential defense against the accelerating forces of autocracy and illiberalism around the world, and no democracy is exempt from this. That’s why defending democracy, both at home and abroad, must be an urgent national security priority. In the Congress, under Speaker Pelosi’s leadership, we continue to address domestic threats to our democracy, such as but not limited to campaigns of surging mis- and disinformation. Our Appropriations Committee, our State and Foreign Operations Subcommittee, which I have the privilege to chair, has really played a crucial role in putting forth our values on the world stage. From pandemic relief to economic assistance to humanitarian aid and, of course, to advancing diplomacy, which is the priority pathway to peace. Visit www.postnewsgroup.com for full story.

for All” stands for “Transforming Oakland’s Waterfront Neighborhoods,” but City staff makes no mention of it in its reports of Howard Terminal or the stadium. The City officially describes the fund as “a comprehensive package of infrastructure improvements that will provide safer, more sustainable and more equitable access to the waterfront for all Oaklanders,” according to the city webpage: www.oaklandca.gov/projects/ town-for-all. But Mayor Schaaf was more blunt in a statement to KPIX-5 on Nov. 19, 2021: “(This funding) supports a new waterfront ballpark for our beloved Oakland A’s. As part of our early deal with the A’s the city agreed to raise funds to pay for offsite infrastructure — today’s announcement is a significant milestone toward that commitment,” she said. Mayor Schaaf did not respond to questions from the Oakland Post. Projects that are part of the $450 million TOWN for All fund would be built over the next six years. By comparison, the funds for current transportation-related development for the entire city equals only $174 million for two years. TOWN for All would build 1.4 miles of new transit-only lanes and 10 miles of new sidewalks, bike lanes and trails connecting Downtown, Chinatown, and West Oakland to the waterfront. Rail corridor and roadway construction would improve truck and cargo transport in and out of the Port of Oakland, designed

to reduce traffic congestion and truck idling and improve safety. In addition, OakPARK would create a “comprehensive suite of parking system upgrades and intersection improvements to manage on- and off-street parking and traffic,” according to a Feb. 17 agenda report by City staff. The entire project currently totals $431.3 million, much from federal and state grants. The city anticipates that it has already raised $288 million, meaning that there is still a $104 million “funding gap,” according to the staff report. The report also confirms that the City has not sought input from maritime and community stakeholders. “Staff has not engaged the public on these staff and contracting resolutions,” the staff report said. “A significant effort was made to engage the public in the development of the TOWN for All projects through on the ground surveys.” Several City Council members are expressing concerns about this proposal that is going to council next week. Councilmember Noel Gallo, who represents District 5 in East Oakland, was straightforward about his objections to TOWN for All, reiterating his position that the A’s should stay at the Coliseum rather than move to Howard Terminal. Instead of spending funds for developing the waterfront for Fisher’s real estate deal, the money should go to the parts of Oakland that are languishing for lack for city resources, he said. “East Oakland and West To read the full story, go to postnewsgroup.com

What Is Best For Us?

Continued from page 1

We at war with terrorism, racism. But most of all, we at war with ourselves. God show me the way because the devil tryna break me down. Jesus walks with me, with me, with me” Brother Cornel then defined the three-dimensional nature of history as past, present and future and suggested that instead of eliminating Black History Month we should rename February as Black Future Month. Cornel West is challenging us to take the rich legacy bequeathed to us by our predecessors into the right now with a vision for a future for generations following! Let us listen to each other and ask each other what needs to be done now to have an abundant future for today’s children, their children and grandchildren. Could we minimize our differences and build operational unity with our diversity starting now? Can rappers, preachers, parents, and politicians and each reader and all others who differ agree that yesterday is a cancelled check? Tomorrow is a promissory note? That today is all the cash we have? Brother Cornel West had built a relationship with Brother Kanye West before advising him to get rid of his ‘symbolic’crack pipe. When we build relationships

with people, we can speak the naked truth to each other in love which is better than backbiting and criticizing others behind their backs. Maulana Karenga, chair of Africana Studies at California State University at Long Beach, says Malcolm X understood history as a necessary corrective for the diminished and distorted concept of our identity cultivated by the oppressor through the creation of an artificial entity called “Negro, a non-historical being who has no history and having no history has no culture” and thus separated from their roots understand themselves as a derivative and dependent part of their oppressor. I ask the reader to ponder each perspective of Maulana Karenga as was given to the ethical and moral reflections of Cornel West. This will require rereading and meditation in your quest for corrective action of personal character and collective social justice action to free the masses from oppression so they may live lives of dignity and decency in the eyes of God. Last, but by no means least, we must challenge people to honor mothers, grandmothers, aunts and sisters, little girls and women in general by addressing derogatory word use and general disrespect of women. Violent and misogynist lyrics are unacceptable. J. Alfred Smith, Sr. is pastor emeritus of Oakland’s Allen Temple Baptist Church.
