Howard Terminal Designer’s Safety Warning Ignored By Port, City and Mayor Part 1 By Tanya Dennis
The original designer of the Howard Terminal at the Port of Oakland says that for nearly a year city officials have ignored his concerns about the potential impact the ballpark poses to residents and baseball fans. On June 24, 2021, the Warren Law Firm sent a letter to Andreas Cluver, president of the Port of Oakland Commissioners ,and David Kaval, president of the Oakland Athletics baseball team, regarding safety concerns the Howard Terminal original designers have regarding the proposed waterfront ballpark and apartment project. F.E. Jordan Associates, Inc. (FEJA) is the prestigious design and civil/structural engineering firm that designed the Howard Terminal has regard-

ing the Waterfront Ballpark project. Copies of the letter were sent to Oakland City Council, Mayor Schaaf and Barbara J. Parker, Oakland’s City Attorney, and members of the City Council.
Neither Fred Jordan, president of FEJA, nor his counsel have yet to receive a response from Cluver, Kaval, Schaaf or the City Council. Jordan, who holds three California state appointments including overseeing the na-
tion’s largest project, the $105 billion California High Speed Rail Project, is not surprised. “This is pretty much status quo, they’re pushing it through, and politics are heavy! Everybody thinks it’s a good idea. I believe it’s more important to get these big ships in here to keep the supply chain for our country moving, and the integrity and future growth of the Port maintained. That’s more important than a ballpark.” Howard Terminal as the potential site for the $12 billion project continues to go through the approval process, despite a change in the economic structure of the U.S. due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which created supply shortages worldwide. Currently, ships are waiting for weeks to unload their cargo in Los Angeles, which could very well be the future of Oakland if the Waterfront Ballpark Continued on Page 12
New Poll: Oakland Voters Overwhelmingly Want to Vote on Proposed Stadium Deal By Ken Epstein
A new poll of Oakland voters conducted by the Mellman Group for the East Oakland Stadium Alliance (EOSA) shows that city residents overwhelmingly want the right to vote on any deal the city strikes with the Oakland A’s using public funds for a Howard Terminal real estate development. Voters also want an independent and public financial report produced on any deal before it is approved. The poll surveyed 800 voters representing the likely November 2022 electorate in Oakland, California. Three-quarters (76%) of voters want to vote on any deal, while only 15% do not. Further, 63% strongly support putting a proposed agreement with the A’s on the ballot. Over 70% of voters across age, gender, education, ethnicity, and sexual orientation support putting a deal on the ballot. Even 76% of self-identified

baseball fans want a deal using public funds on the ballot. Voters not only want to vote on any deal, but 85% also want to require a full, independent, public analysis before any deal is agreed to. Only 8% oppose this requirement, with 7% unsure. Over 75% of voters across gender, age, education, ethnicity, and in every City Council district want this independent public fiscal analysis conducted — including 85% of baseball fans.
The call for placing any proposed deal with the Oakland A’s on the ballot was originally proposed by District 5 Councilmember Noel Gallo, while District 3 Carroll Fife originally proposed an independent financial analysis of the proposed deal before it is finally approved.

Kaplan has worked closely with IAFF Local 55 on a variety of important issues such as wildfire prevention, implementation of the MACRO

We look forward to working with her on the Board of Supervisors,” said Zac Unger, president of the Oakland Firefighters Local 55. Kaplan was grateful for the endorsements. “I am honored to receive the endorsement of our firefighters,” Kaplan said of the April 8 announcement. “Our first responders provide vital services protecting the health and safety

Black Women and The Power of the Kitchen Table Part 6 By Rev. Dr. Martha C. Taylor
The coming of Sisters gathering at the kitchen table started in the Motherland. It is not new; it is what we do. The kitchen table is where we draw strength from one another, provide support, laugh, love, and, above all, give thanks to God. The kitchen table is a safe place where stories are told, through sharing real life situations. It is at the kitchen table, where “we hold these truths to be self-evident,” that “this is our story, this is our song.” We bring our collective knowledge and put it into one space that tells our story including gendered traditions. The kitchen table is the cultural space for Black women. It is the boardroom where we make decisions, address spiritual, emotional care concerns. We use the kitchen table for our

Democratic Party, Others Endorse Rebecca Kaplan for Alameda County Board of Supervisors Seat
Rebecca Kaplan’s campaign announced that she had received the endorsements of the Alameda County Democratic Party, former California state Assemblyman Sandre Swanson and local firefighters unions in her bid for election to the Alameda County Board of Supervisors. Obtaining the endorsement of the Alameda County Democratic Party in this race was a major accomplishment for Kaplan, as all four candidates running were included for consideration and presented at the Democratic Party’s forum and to receive the endorsement, candidates must obtain over 60% of the vote. Swanson praised Kaplan for her decades of service and her

Alzheimer’s Drugs Decision Has Deeper Learning Black History Year-Round Impact on Health of Blacks, Other Minorities Bruce Beach Front, A Stolen Dream By Isadore Hall, Special to California Black Media
Last spring, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first new Alzheimer’s disease therapy since 2003. For the 6 millionplus people living with the fatal disease in the United States, the availability of a medicine designed to treat the underlying cause of their ailment was a significant breakthrough. However, it appears very few of those 6 million Alzheimer’s patients will receive this promising new treatment because of regulators at the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). CMS is the federal government office that oversees health coverage of more than 100 million people through Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, and the Health Insurance Marketplace. One of the agency’s main functions is strengthening and modernizing the nation’s health care system to provide access to high quality care at lower costs. In January, CMS launched a process called a National Coverage Determination (NCD) to decide whether Medicare would pay for this newly approved Alzheimer’s therapy or not. Their draft decision: Medicare, as the insurer of roughly 62 million Americans, would not cover this medicine. The proposed NCD applies to an entire class of Alzheimer’s drugs, which could impact the current FDA approved drug, aducanumab, as well as future drug therapies in this class. Given the regulatory governance granted to the FDA by Congressional order, it is my opinion this element of the

NCD is over-reaching and creates a divisive relationship between two of the most critical federal agencies in the country, FDA and CMS. This decision would also require certain Alzheimer drugs already in development (which may have different demographic and efficacy profiles) to be subjected to a CED process that lacks its own data and does not take into consideration diversity, inclusion, and efficacy. Furthermore, and most important, the proposed NCD betrays the commitment articulated by President Joe Biden in his Executive Order on Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government. “Equal opportunity is the bedrock of American democracy, and our diversity is one of our country’s greatest strengths. But for too many, the American Dream remains out of reach. Entrenched disparities in our laws and public policies, and in our public and private institutions, have often denied that equal opportunity to individuals and communities,” Biden states in the document. “Our country faces converging economic, health, and cli-

mate crises that have exposed and exacerbated inequities, while a historic movement for justice has highlighted the unbearable human costs of systemic racism,” the president’s statement continued. “Our Nation deserves an ambitious whole-of-government equity agenda that matches the scale of the opportunities and challenges that we face. It is therefore the policy of my Administration that the Federal Government should pursue a comprehensive approach to advancing equity for all, including people of color and others who have been historically underserved, marginalized, and adversely affected by persistent poverty and inequality.” I know that CMS is fully aware that Alzheimer’s disease is a devastating disease that affects more than 6 million Americans, 80% of whom are Medicare beneficiaries. Among Americans 65 and older, Blacks have the highest percentage of Alzheimer’s disease, 13.8%, according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In fact, the Alzheimer’s Association reports that older Blacks are twice as likely to have Alzheimer’s disease than whites. African Americans are also mostly likely to be undiagnosed for Alzheimer’s Disease, according to the National Institutes of Health. Therefore, we are also most likely to be untreated. This issue is very personal for me. My grandmother lost her fight to Alzheimer’s Disease in 2017. I often watched her feeling helpless as she suffered from this horrifying and painful disease.

In 1912, Willa and Charles Bruce invested $2,000 and purchased two parcels of land in Manhattan Beach, Calif. On it, they constructed a beachfront lodge boasting a café, dance hall, and cabanas. It was the first resort for African Americans on the West Coast. The Liberator, a local Black newspaper, dubbed the opening of Bruce Beach Front “a grand affair.” This took place during a time when Jim Crow laws barred Blacks from most seashores. “Wherever we have tried to buy land for a beach resort, we have been refused,” Willa Bruce told the Los Angeles Times. “But I own this land and I am going to keep it.” Real estate developer George Peck sold the land to the Bruces and other Blacks. As economic success spread throughout the Black community, local whites grew angry. Bruce Beach Front guests were harassed by white neighbors and members of the Ku Klux Klan. Tires were slashed; fires were set. Fake ‘10-minute only’ parking signs were posted, frustrating out-of-town visitors. They would stop at nothing to take the land back. After constant harassment and destruction, local Whites finally reclaimed the land. The Manhattan Beach City Council, under the guise of building a park, used eminent domain laws (1924) to condemn Bruce Beach Front as well as other Black-owned properties in the area. But, historic documents unmask the true motivation. City Clerk Lewellyn Price, in a 1915 letter, wrote: “Confidentially, there is something

about that block that is quite a detriment to the neighborhood, and that is that there is a colored family who live the year around on Lot 8… Every so often they have a coon picnic, and it is attended by about 75 to 150 coon Pullman Porters and their friends. You can imagine how much this would depreciate property values in that neighborhood.” According to the task force History Subcommittee Report (2021), “white neighbors resented the resort’s growing popularity and prosperity of its African American owners by the early 1920s and were “concerned” about a “Negro ‘invasion’.” Families involved sued after their properties were closed down, claiming they were the victims of a racially motivated campaign. The Bruces were awarded $14,500. The all-important park was not constructed until the 1960s.
Now, a little over a century later, the tables have turned. The city’s ability to sell or transfer the property was blocked by regulations requiring legislation to change. Descendants of Charles and Willa Bruce were able to reclaim land that is today worth an estimated $75 million. “The Bruces had their California dream stolen from them,” L.A. County Board of Supervisors member Janice Hahn told CNN. “And this was an injustice inflicted not just upon Willa and Charles Bruce but on generations of their descendants who almost certainly would have been millionaires if they had been able to keep this property and their successful business.” Learn more about the world of African American leisure.

CPUC Expands Efforts To Diversify Utility Suppliers, Sets Goals For LGBTQ Business Procurement By Eli Walsh, Bay City News Foundation
The state’s public utility regulator announced April 7 that it expanded efforts to diversify its energy, telephone and water suppliers, adding businesses owned by disabled people and setting goals for suppliers owned by LGBTQ people. The California Public Utility Commission’s Supplier Diversity Program has led to the agency procuring more than 30% of its utility supply from businesses owned by women,

people of color, veterans and LGBTQ people. The commission voted unanimously to add businesses owned by people with disabili-
ties to the program as well as public sector utility providers and electric service providers. The commission also voted to set specific goals of LGBTQowned businesses, increasing from 0.5% of procurement this year to 1.5% by 2024. CPUC staff plan to conduct outreach in the coming months to utility-providing businesses owned by LGBTQ people to encourage their participation in the Supplier Diversity Program. “The revisions to our Supplier Diversity Program reflect the ongoing changes to the electric retail provider landscape to ensure that we evolve with the changes to California’s utility sector and a clean energy future,” CPUC President Alice Busching Reynolds said in a statement. Utilities and other businesses included in the program will also be required to report on the diversity of their workforces and governing boards, according to the CPUC.

Sacramento Mass Shooting Confirms What Higher Black Unemployment Experts Already Knew, But Media Won’t Tell in California Distorts Rosy By Craig DeLuz, Special to California Black Media Partners
In the wake of the horrific mass shooting that took place in over the last week in Sacramento, California, politicians and media pundits have rushed to their soapboxes to proclaim, once again, that guns are the root of all evil and the cause of the recent violent crime wave that has gripped our nation. They share with whomever will listen, their prognosis for ending crime as we know it. “We need more ‘common sense’ gun laws,” they say. But there are a number of underlying truths that they will dare not share with the public. Because if they do, it will become clear that they and their policies are not the solution. They are, in fact, the root of the problem. Here are just a few of those truths they will not dare share: We do not have a gun violence problem. We have a violence problem Guns have been a part of the American lexicon since the very beginning. For generations, society had a healthy relationship with the Second Amendment. Firearms were given their proper respect as tools to be used to feed one’s family, defend one’s home or fight for one’s liberty. It is only recent generations that have concluded that violence is an acceptable way to address the myriad of issues confronting them. The firearm

is not the cause of this. In fact, it is not even the weapon of choice. While it is true that 77% of homicides in 2020 were committed with firearms, 92% of all violent crimes do not involve firearms. The overwhelming majority of violent offenses – including robberies, rapes and other sex crimes – almost always involve other weapons or no weapons at all. And there is no doubt that the number of instances of all these offenses are increasing. Guns are no more the cause of this violence than cars are the cause of drunk driving. Gun control does nothing to reduce crime in general, let alone violent crime There is a popular saying amongst statisticians, “There are lies, damn lies and then there are statistics.” Politicians and the media have been using
all three to push their false narrative about gun control laws. They would have you believe that studies support the idea that the best way to reduce violent crime is to pass more gun laws. But nothing could be further from the truth. A 2020 study done as a part of the RAND Corporation’s Gun Policy in America initiative, revealed that of the 27,900 research publications on the effectiveness of gun control laws, only 123 (0.4%) were found to meet a base level of academic rigor. They also noted that the only reliable conclusion one could get from those 123 studies was that there is zero evidence that gun control laws have any effect on violence in general or gun violence specifically. The recent increase in violent crime is directly linked to “Smart on Crime” (read softon-crime) policies Violent crime was at an alltime high in the early 1990s fueled by gangs and the drug trade. This led to federal, state and local initiatives aimed at stemming the tide. Tough-oncrime initiatives were enacted that included, among other things, increased policing and mandatory minimums for a number of crimes. Crime (especially violent crime) would go on the decline for the next 20-plus years. Then in the 2010s, several states began instituting “Smart on Crime” policies that decriminalized a number of criminal offenses and let violent crimi-
Psychiatric and Legal Workshop for Caregivers HelpingThose With Serious Mental Illness By Margot Dashiell
The African American Family Outreach Project (AAFOP) continues its FREE educational forums on services available to help families coping with loved ones with serious mental illness or substance abuse disorder. On Saturday, April 23 from 9:45 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., the AAFOP will host its second 2022 virtual session featuring Dr. Aaron Chapman and and Sabah Muhammad. Chapman is a psychiatrist, and the Medical Director for Alameda County Behavioral Health and Muhammad is a lawyer who serves as legislative and policy counsel for the Treatment Advocacy Center in Arlington, Va. Muhammad also hosts a podcast series featuring African American family caregivers who share their experience in seeking treatment for a loved one. Both speakers will allow time for the on-line audience to raise questions.
Dr. Sabah Muhammad
Chapman has appeared at AAFOP events many times and has been highly appreciated for his ability to break down the complex and often intertwined issues of mental illness, physical health and substance abuse disorders. The Treatment Advocacy Center where Muhammad is on staff, is a national non-profit organization. According to its mission statement “It is dedicated to eliminating the barriers to the timely and effective treatment of severe mental illness. The organization promotes laws, policies and practices for the delivery of
psychiatric care and supports the development of innovative treatment into the causes of severe … mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.” The TAC is a reliable source of information on the consequences of untreated mental illness. For example, its website, www.treatmentadvocacycenter. org, points out that 30% of the chronically homeless population is estimated to have serious mental illness and that people in psychiatric crisis can wait for days in an ER because of the shortage of psychiatric beds. In the United States, 1.8 million people with mental illness are booked into jail each year. Timely and effective treatment can reduce this painful state of affairs for individuals who are ill and for those who care for them.

nals out of prison. That wasn’t the intention of those who supported these policies. But that is, in fact, what happened. Case in point: Back in 2018 Smiley Martin was sentenced to 10 years in prison for punching a girlfriend, dragging her from her home by her hair and whipping her with a belt. But, sadly, under California law, these are considered nonviolent offenses, making Mr. Martin eligible for a reduced sentence under Proposition 57. So, instead of sitting in a jail cell serving the fifth year of a 10-year sentence, he was walking the streets of Sacramento with a modified automatic pistol. This story is not the first. It is not even unique to Sacramento. Just a month earlier, three children and their chaperone were killed by their father who should have been in ICE custody. But under California’s Sanctuary State policy, David Mora Rojas, who was locked up for assaulting a highway patrol officer was released from police custody, was free to kill his children. While the media and politicians deny the correlation and instead seek to blame guns; the increase in crime, especially violent crime, directly corresponds with the change in our criminal justice policies. This is about race. But not in the way you think it is. Gun control has always been about keeping “Those People” from being able to own firearms. Following the Civil War, Southern states enacted ‘Black Codes’ making it illegal for newly freed slaves to own guns. In the 1870s, California would pass laws preventing the Continued on page 8
Picture of Job Recovery
By Aldon Thomas Stiles, California Black Media
Officials in Sacramento and Washington frequently point to the low unemployment rate in the state and around the country as proof that the U.S. economy has recovered from the downturn experienced during the global COVID-19 crisis. But the total unemployment rate for Black Californians seems stuck at almost three times higher than the national rate – despite steady increases in overall hiring of African Americans in the state. A sharp drop in the national unemployment rate for all Americans – down to 3.6% in February -- brings the number of people without jobs across the United States to just one tenth of a point above the prepandemic level of 3.5% (February 2020), according to data compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics at the U.S. Department of Labor. In February alone, the U.S. economy added a remarkable 431,000 jobs, bringing the number of jobs created since 2021 to 7.9 million. Cecilia Rouse, chair of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers, told California Black Media that the nation’s Black unemployment rate has drastically decreased since the pandemic related recession. “At the height of this pandemic, the unemployment rate for Black people was 16.8% and from what we saw this month, it is down to 6.2%,” she said. Overall, unemployment in California is also down from a pinnacle in 2020 during the

peak of the pandemic. The state’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate declined 10.5 percentage points from April 2020 to February 2022, from 15.9% to 5.4%. According to the California Employment Development Department (EDD), the state’s economy has added 2,405,900 non-farm jobs, “in effect, recovering 87.2% of the nonfarm jobs it lost during the COVID-19 recession.” Although Black unemployment in California has seen a decrease during the recovery period as well, it has not dropped to pre-pandemic levels, according to state officials. Black unemployment was hovering at around 10% for the fourth quarter of 2021, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. At that time, California’s overall unemployment rate was 7.5%, about two points higher than it was for February. Although the unemployment rate for Black Californians is higher than the state rate, it continues to move downward. Continued on page 9

Black Water Leaders: Outreach “Critically Important” in Gov. Newsom’s Conservation Plan By Tanu Henry, California Black Media
Vice President Kamala Harris reacts as President Joe Biden shakes hands with former President Barack Obama after Obama jokingly called Biden vice president at a White House press conference on April 5..
Obama Returns to White House for 1st Time Since 2017, Celebrates Obamacare Anniversary By Brandon Patterson
Former President Obama returned to the White House April 5 for the first time since leaving office in 2017 to celebrate the 12th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act with President Joe Biden. The ACA, passed in 2010 during Obama’s first term when Biden was vice president, is widely considered the crowning achievement of Obama’s administration, bringing affordable health insurance options to millions of Americans. Obama, who maintains the close friendship with Biden developed previously in the White House, began his remarks by jokingly referring to “Vice President Biden” before giving Biden a hug. “That was all set up. My president, Joe Biden.” Obama was introduced by Vice President Kamala Harris. He received a standing ovation upon entry to into the press room. “It’s fitting the first time you return to the White House is to celebrate a law that is transforming millions of lives
because of you,” Biden said. “And I say because of you, you had a lot of help — staff, and I helped a little bit — but because of you. A law that shows hope leads to change, and you did that. Let’s be honest, the Affordable Care Act has been called a lot of things, but ‘Obamacare’ is the most fitting.” About 21 million people are covered by the ACA, according to a recent analysis by the Urban Institute. Measures in the bill include protections for Americans with pre-existing conditions and an expansion of Medicaid, the public health insurance program that covers people with lower incomes and disabilities. Though the ACA was unpopular in its early days, data from the Kaiser Permanente Foundation show that 55% of Americans support the law today. Republicans have repeatedly tried to repeal the ACA since it became law. The law survived challenges in the Supreme Court in both 2012 and 2015, though carves outs were made, including allowing states to opt out of the Medicaid expansion, which many
Republican-led states have done. Then in 2017, under former President Donald Trump, when Republicans also controlled both chambers of the Congress, Republicans came close to repealing it. But the attempt failed when three Republicans broke from the partly line, including the late Senator John McCain. In the years since the Obama administration, Medicare for All, which would institute a national single-payer health care system where the government would serve as insurer for all residents, has become popular among progressives in the wake of the presidential campaigns of Senator Bernie Sanders and national organizing from progressive groups. Recent political polling from Pew Research, Morning Consult and other polling firms have shown that most Americans support the proposal today. A March 2021 poll from Morning Consult found that 55% of Americans support Medicare for All. Sources for this report were CNN, Morning Consult, Yahoo News.

If it were not for the news headlines, you probably would not know California is under a state of emergency due to continuing drought conditions affecting more than 95% of state residents. Last summer was the hottest recorded in Western states. And in a 128-year stretch, 2022 has so far been the driest in Golden State history, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Then, in March, evidence of worsening drought conditions in the state showed up in rainfall that didn’t. Low levels of rain during the month, prompted concerned authorities at the state Department of Water Resources (DWR) to cut delivery from the State Water Project, a storage facility, down to 5% of the supplies that had been requested. Reacting to those and other developments indicating a need to begin preserving water, last week, Gov. Gavin Newsom asked local water authorities to “move to Level 2 of their Water Shortage Contingency Plans.” Newsom did not recommend specific actions, leaving regional and municipal authorities open to take “locally-appropriate actions.” “Today, I am calling on local water agencies to implement more aggressive water conservation measures, including having the Water Board evaluate a ban on watering ornamental grass on commercial properties, which will drive water use savings at this critical time,” said Newsom who has invested more than $1 billion in state efforts aimed at tackling the drought. Last month, Newsom invested
$22.5 million in immediate funds to address the state’s drought emergency. That amount included $8.25 million for outreach efforts educating Californians on water conservation. Dale Hunter is executive director of the CaliforniaAfricanAmerican Water Education Foundation (CAAWEF). He says he applauds the governor’s decision to invest in outreach, but he also emphasized how important education will be for this campaign because of the seriousness of this ongoing drought. CAAWEF is a statewide nonprofit that raises awareness about water issues concerning African Americans and educates the Black community about them. “We must embrace conservation. It will become a way of life for us,” says Hunter. “We have to give people practical tips to drive this stuff home - so that people know they are a part of it. For example, the next time you wash that T-shirt, you have to make sure you have some other stuff in the washer to save water.” Hunter said a lot of people hear about water conservation in the media, but they do not know what it involves.
Hunter says funding for outreach would support efforts by organizations like his that educate consumers. The governor’s executive order last week called on the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) to consider asking commercial consumers to ban irrigation of “non-functional” grass on their properties. However, Newsom’s proposed ban would not affect residential customers or recreational spaces and parks. DWR estimates the plan could save water equal to “several hundred thousand acre-feet.” One acre-foot is the estimated amount of water three households need to last them for one year. In California, 85% of public water systems source their supply from groundwater, which, under normal circumstances, accounts for 41% of water delivered to homes, businesses and public facilities. But during droughts like the current one, as much as 58% of those water authorities may rely on groundwater. Hunter says he understands why Newsom didn’t push any mandates or laws but opted instead to make recommendations to local authorities. “Water is always a local issue,” he explained. “Always.” Hunter says increasing awareness about water and getting people to become stakeholders in conservation will not happen overnight. “It takes a while to percolate down to the average person,” says Hunter. “It might hit us when folks in one Zip Code can only water their yards on certain days. Water is the lifeblood of our state. We have to make sure we get it right.”

San Leandro Resident Daisy Murray, 104, Honored By Barbara Lee
U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee spoke on the floor of the House of Representatives on Monday to honor Mrs. Daisy Murray, a San Leandro resident, upon her 104th birthday. Below is the text of that speech. “Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 104th birthday of San Leandro resident Mrs. Daisy Murray and recognize her decades of contributions in the East Bay community. Mrs. Murray was born on April 11, 1918, in Georgia to a family that was only a few generations removed from slavery, as her grandmother was the daughter of an enslaved person. Mrs. Murray’s parents faced racism and violence living in the South, and when they got married they relocated to Ohio, where Mrs. Murray was born and raised. Mrs. Murray moved to California in 1945 with her husband and children, eventually settling in the East Bay. She worked tirelessly for her family and community. She raised six children, three boys and three girls, and worked in many volunteer and paid positions, including at the Oakland Post Office, the American Red Cross, the Del Monte Cannery, the old Richmond Hospital, and the Veteran’s Hospital in Oakland. She became a nurse while working at the VA Hospital. Mrs. Murray also taught a

literacy program for the City of San Leandro, and was a member of the Pacific Plaza Homeowners Association Board of Directors. Her husband, Rev. C. L. Murray, was a pastor at the North Oakland Baptist Church. Mrs. Murray continued to face discrimination and racism in California, even experiencing patients who refused to let her care for them. However, she persevered and continued to contribute to her community. Mrs. Murray, along with Dorothy Pitts and other affordable housing visionaries were responsible in large part
Formerly Incarcerated Community to Hold Mothers’ Day Appreciation Event, Saturday, May 7
for founding the first affordable residency for adults and seniors in the country owned and built by minority women, completed in 1974 and named Sojourner Truth Manor. Located on Martin Luther King Jr, Way, the affordable apartment complex still exists to this day and has housed generations of adults and seniors in need. On behalf of the 13th Congressional District of California, I’m delighted to join Mrs. Daisy Murray’s family and friends to wish her the happiest of birthdays. Thank you, Mrs. Murray for your many good works and everything you have done to enrich San Leandro and our entire East Bay community. This report was provided by Alex Katz, the district communications manager in the Office of Congresswoman Barbara Lee.

What actually does Mother’s Day mean? For me, as a recipient of a beautiful, God-fearing mother who has passed on to glory, I can attest to the significance of mothers. Every year, in some form or another, homage is respectfully paid to mothers of the world, at least in the U.S. Every single human being has roots from a mother as she has given birth, meaning and purpose to the existence of mankind. Without exception, life in of itself comes directly from the womb of a woman. Too often this fact, the worth of mothers, is overlooked or given little acknowledgement. Thus, there are those of us from various community organizations, groups and concerned individuals who want to show and give appreciation to all the mothers of the community who have given of themselves and served as role models to the next generation of dedicated Mothers. On Saturday, May 7, we will hold an event where we provide up to 100 gifts for mothers at De Fremery Park at 16th and Adeline in West Oakland. The event starts at 12:00 noon. For mothers who can’t come to the event, their gift will be delivered to them. Mothers who want to receive this gift are invited to nominate themselves or someone else who they think deserves this
honor. To make your nomination, please send an email to this address: fatijohns28@ gmail.com. Groups making this event possible include the Redemption Center, FIRE (Formally Incarcerated Requiring Empowerment), Formally Incarcerated Giving Back, She Blessed Transitions, Oakland Post News Group, PHATT Chance Transitional Housing. Individuals supporting the effort include boxing promoter Bill Haney, Derrick Warren, Jonathan “Fitness” Jones, and Cardi Taylor, a motivational speaker for formally incarcerated women and others. There can never be enough gratitude shown or expressed giving praise to the mothers of the world and their importance to all civilization. Many who will read this have witnessed our plight or know someone from the formerly incarcerated community and want to help further the cause. This is your chance to contribute to our Mother’s Day gift giveaway. We will provide each mother with a custom journal and a token of appreciation. Donations of any amount are accepted by emailing fatijohns28@gmail.com. The deadline for making donations is Saturday, April 30, 2022.

Mother’s Day is another opportunity for us to give back to the dedicated Mother’s in our community. Through the efforts of Formally Incarcerated Giving Back, Inc. and their community partners, we are distributing gift sets to the first 100 Mothers who email their names with a valid phone # to fatijohns28@gmail.com. We will confirm your registration and send you a confirmation email.

ther Party. The truth is that the gun debate has always been rooted in racism. However, those who push these policies are the true victimizers. Consider that the last gun case to be heard by the U. S. Supreme Court (McDonald v. Chicago) was brought by a Black man who simply wanted to be able to defend his home from the ravages of gang and
drug violence. This underscores two very important, yet often overlooked truths: • Policies that release habitual criminals into our neighborhoods lead to the victimization of people in those communities. These policies disproportionately impact people of color. • Gun Control Laws only serve to restrict the ability of law-abiding citizens to own
or possess firearms they may need to protect themselves and their loved ones. These laws also disproportionately affect people of color. We are often told that young Black and Brown men are disproportionately impacted by gun violence. But it is rarely noted that young Black and Brown men are disproportionately the ones pulling the trigger. The sad fact is that people
who seek to victimize others (Black, White, Latin, Asian, etc.) tend to go after people who look like them. So, while it is noble to try and reduce the number of young Black men in our criminal justice system, we cannot ignore that in doing so, we have put Black men, women and children at risk of being their victims. At the same time, we are limiting the ability of these very same folks to be able to defend themselves from the very danger we have put in their path. To any objective observer, these truths are self-evident.
Most of the media and political elite have proven themselves to be anything but objective observers. If we are to ever address the scourge of violence in our streets, it will only happen when we all come to grips with these and many other truths.

Need for Mental Health Professionals in Alameda County Rising, Psychologist Says By Dr. Jaseon Outlaw, Ph.D, NCC
Now, more than ever, there is a desperate need to get young people to choose a career in mental health. The call to action is now as we are in the midst of a mental health provider shortage. I am a licensed psychologist, and I am clinical director of Journey of Life Psychological, Inc. in San Leandro. I previously chaired the Alameda County Mental Health Board (District 5) and was vice-chair of the Alameda County Measure A Oversight Committee. Specializing in mood disorders, couples therapy and anger management among other issues, my office is completely booked with a waiting list of 30 and most other clinicians are in the same boat. If you or a loved one has had a recent need for routine outpatient mental health services, you likely have experienced the extreme backlog and lack of availability from providers. I was born and raised in
Commentary
Dr. Jaseon Outlaw
Oakland, have been involved in mental health work with the county, and wish to contribute to the improvement of Oakland and Oaklanders. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, mental health providers, in addition to other healthcare providers, have been inundated with a significant number of new cases and pressure to identify a way to avoid waitlisting potential new patients. The fact of the matter is that it is virtually impossible for the current provider pool in existence to meet the needs of all
currently seeking mental health services. What does this tell us about the present and future of mental health services? Frankly, it tells us that we are in a crisis and if we do not begin encouraging our youth to pursue careers in healthcare as psychologists and mental health therapists, the problem will only worsen. Mostly excluded from the recruitment strategies of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), clinical psychologists exist as healthcare providers under the “helping professions” umbrella. The range of work for psychologists is wide: They are needed by individuals in private clinic and in institutions like schools, prisons, workplaces, or even with sports teams. Psychologists usually acquire a four-year bachelor’s degree in psychology, followed by a master’s degree in counseling or doctorate in psychology. The top 10% of psychologists in California, make more than $140,000 per year and
psychologists also report higher than average autonomy and flexibility in their roles. Improving the lives of others is frequently reported as the most common reason people pursue careers in psychology, but there are many other benefits. As a psychologist myself, I would not have chosen a different career, even if given the chance. I am quite sure others who have taken the plunge and decided to become psychologists would agree the rewards outweigh the drawbacks as well. Do speak with your children, family members, students, mentees, and anyone who is in the career-search phase of their life. For the sake of all of us who will at some point in our lives seek mental health services, we need you. Dr. Jaseon Outlaw, Ph.D, NCC, formerly served as chairman of the Alameda County Mental Health Board, District 5. He was vice-chair of the Alameda County Measure A Oversight Committee.
Higher Black Unemployment in California Distorts Rosy Picture of Job Recovery
Continued from page 3
From April 2020 to February 2022, California increased its number of Black workers by 59,000, going from 1,009,000 in April 2020 to 1,068,000 in February 2022. Before the COVID-19 recession from February 2020 to April 2020, there were 1,133,000 employed Black workers in California, according to the EDD. Over the course of the COVID-19 recession, the state lost 2,758,900 non-farm jobs and
This Easter, Model Love By Getting Vaccinated Continued from page 6
California have been infected with COVID-19, and 6,500 children have been hospitalized since July of last year. Thirty-eight children have died. These facts are heartbreaking, especially since research has proven that the vaccine is safe for children as young as 5 years old with only mild side effects. Love is action. It is what we do more than what we say. When we are loving our grandparents, our children, our babies, and our neighbors as we are meant to do, we are protecting them. Getting vaccinated and getting our children vaccinated is how we show and share our love. Easter is an opportunity for us to model love. When you are ready to get your child or yourself vaccinated, visit MyTurn.ca.gov or call 833-422-4255 to schedule an appointment. There will be a local vaccine clinic just ahead of the Easter holiday on Saturday, April 16 from 11:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. at Third Baptist Church. The church is located at 1399 McAllister St., San Francisco, CA 94115, and the event is open to the public. Gerald Agee is pastor of Friendship Christian Center, a non-denominational church in WEST Oakland. Since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Agee has led a faithbased initiative to get testing and vaccination to marginalized communities throughout California.
the unemployment rate rose from 4.1% in February 2020 to 15.9% only two months later. Over this time period, the unemployment rate for California’s Black workers rose 8.2 percentage points. Across the country, the unemployment rate for African Americans is also decreasing, dropping from 9.5% in March 2021 to 6.2% in March 2022, according to the U.S. Labor Department. “What we’ve seen is tremen-
dous improvement in the labor market status for Black Americans, Black workers,” Rouse says, attributing the improving numbers to the American Rescue Plan, the Biden administration’s pandemic recovery initiative. “It provided the resources to help us get through this pandemic,” said Rouse. “The management of the pandemic is fundamental and so integral to this strong labor market recovery that we’re seeing.”
Since 2021, growth in employment for Black Californians has been significant in three industries: Transportation and utilities, services, and the leisure and hospitality industries. According to the EDD, there has been an increase of over 50,000 Black employed workers in the transportation and utilities industry, over 14,100 in other services, and over 13,700 in the leisure and hospitality industry.

Howard Terminal Designer’s Safety Gene Connell Johnson, 81 Warning Ignored By Port, City and Mayor Continued from page 1

is built at Howard Terminal Jordan has reached out to Port commissioners and the Oakland A’s three times requesting his firm be consulted or added as part of the evaluation team to assess the potential liability of building a ballpark on the structure his office designed, as his safety concerns are many. “It’s common courtesy in the industry that the designer be consulted anytime structural changes to the original design are considered,” Jordan said. “The Port and Oakland A’s need to hear more intricacies about putting that ballpark on a container terminal. To ignore that could be disastrous in the future and could also lead to very high risk for any design professional and contractor associated with that terminal no matter how far they go back.”
When asked about his specific concerns, Jordan responded, “Think about an EmpireState- building-long container ship coming into the Port with four or five stories of containers stacked up. “Think about human error in bringing a ship of that size into the Port, and the potential with the turning basin located at the Howard Terminal, it just might bump into the Quay wall. The structural integrity of the Quay wall could be compromised. My concern is if the Quay wall fails, upon which the Howard Terminal is built, with three stories of bleachers built on top of it, say that container ship doesn’t stop in time and hits that Quay wall, we will have gantry cranes and possibly people in the water. If anything happens, I’m liable. You never do a project like that without bringing on the original designer. They
didn’t do that.” Jordan’s second concern is the environmental impact the park will have not only on the Port but the community as well. “The Environmental Impact Report is a huge issue and has to do with how the ballpark will socially, economically, and environmentally impact the health of Black folks with trucks lined up in their neighborhoods waiting to unload because of the park and access to the railroad. “Many huge projects attempted in the past were thwarted because these very issues were not taken into consideration. Environmental reports consider the public trust and social impact of a project. I don’t trust the project because no one will talk to me about the structural integrity of what they’re planning, as our design was not a typical design,” he
continued. In his letter, Jordan has informed all concerned that the Waterfront draft EIR does not address the “structural engineering aspects” of locating a multi-story concrete stadium structure in proximity of the quay wall. The quay wall is a 1,000-foot wharf structure supporting gantry cranes, the largest and tallest in the world. Jordan is also concerned about the soil surcharge, or whether the stadium structure will be on bedrock, friction piles or regular footings. Jordan needs answers, and more importantly, the people deserve the truth. Next week: Part 2.

for cleanliness in their neighborhoods and to repair the streets?” he asked. “What is the true financial cost and our obligations for this project?” Gallo asked. “To this day we haven’t received it. We have had the same experiences with Raiders and Warriors, and we’re still paying for that.” Gallo said that Council members are considering hiring an outside consultant to look into the financial impact of the deal. “We need to conduct a workshop for City Council, a public meeting, with a costbenefit analysis of the financial impact (including) who is responsible for maintenance and
safety for this project. The public is entitled to that.” James Vann, a longtime advocate for homes for the homeless and for affordable housing, also spoke on the conference call. He said that “the public needs to know what the city is obligating (residents) to.” Generally, for projects like this, the cost “turns out to be double” the official estimates, he said. “Developers always come back with requests for additional money to finish their projects.”
The Mellman Group, a wellknown polling company, conducted interviews in Oakland March 31-April 6, 2022, using a registration-based sample, with multi-mode interviews. Live interviewers called cellphones and landlines while text-to-online interviews were also employed. The margin of error for the overall results is +/-3.5% at a 95% level of confidence. The margin of error is higher for subgroups.

velopment on Port public land, has publicly opposed letting the voters decide on whether they want to fund the project. At present, the cost to the public of the $12 billion private development and baseball stadium has been estimated to be over $1 billion. Councilmember Gallo, speaking on a conference call announcing the poll results, said he was responding to requests from Oakland residents “who are burdened by the pandemic and taxation in the city.” “At the end of the day, what is the best investment for residents who need work crews
ACLU Urges AG to Investigate Oakland for a “Racially Discriminatory School Closure Plan” Continued from page 1
closure plan, which disproportionately impacts Black students and families. The ACLU filed the complaint on behalf of Justice for Oakland Students Coalition, a multi-racial group of students, parents and educators working to increase equity for lowincome students of color in the school district. The complaint alleges that the school closure plan violates Black students’ fundamental right to equal educational opportunity under the California Constitution and discriminates based on race. At four of the seven schools slated to close, more than half the students enrolled are Black, although districtwide, Black children comprise about a fifth of the student population, according to the complaint. “Oakland Unified School District has a long history of discriminating against Black students and families who have borne the brunt of previous school closures,” said Linnea Nelson, a senior staff attorney for the Racial & Economic Justice Program at the ACLU of Northern California. “By chronically underfunding and mismanaging small schools in predominantly Black neighborhoods, the district created the very conditions it now cites to justify disrupting tight-knit school communities and displacing hundreds of Black students.” Despite strong community opposition, in February the school board voted to close seven schools, merge another two, and eliminate middle school grades at two others by 2023. OUSD failed to analyze the racial equity of closing the selected schools, as required by a provision of the “Reparations for Black Students Resolution” the school board adopted in March 2021. Furthermore, district staff did not consult with students, parents, teachers, or community leaders while they developed the
closure plan, a process that was shrouded in secrecy, according to the complaint. Among other remedies, the complaint seeks to overturn the school closure plan, and require that the district conduct an equity analysis to guide any future decisions to close schools. The school closures are the latest blow to Oakland’s declining Black population, which has been pushed out of the city by gentrification, skyrocketing housing costs and increasing income inequality, the complaint said. From 2010 to 2020, more than 15,000 Black people left Oakland, according to U.S. Census data. As a result, Black residents have seen their once prodigious political influence wane in the birthplace of the Black Panther Party, making it difficult to challenge racist public policies. Black parents worry their children may struggle academically and emotionally if they are uprooted from the small schools where teachers know and care about them. Azlinah Tambu’s daughters, Nasirah and Samira, attend Parker Elementary School, which will close at the end of the current school year. Tambu says her children are safer at a smaller school, and that 11-yearold Samira has the support she needs within Parker’s tight-knit and familiar community as she enters her middle school years. Tambu’s daughters have a special connection with the mostly Black staff, who make students feel seen, heard, and special. If Parker closes, her daughters will attend separate schools that are farther away from home. “Samira and Nasirah will be ripped away from the friends and school staff who know them. Especially for Samira, she is at the age she needs her friends and adults who know her to make good choices and stay on track in school,” Tambu said. To read the full story, go to postnewsgroup.com
Black Women and The Power of the Kitchen Table Continued from page 1
gether for spiritual connections. Without much forethought, she called sisters to gather at the kitchen table. Strong spiritual Sister Doreen Bullard volunteered her beautiful home for the gathering. Sisters Patsy Lockhart, Marilyn Stewart, Darlene Nero and Antoinette Williams did not hesitate to be part of the gathering. Diane May, who lives a couple of houses away, climbed over backyard fences to get to the gathering. We all have a common bond of an interconnectedness of family, community, Black womanhood, and of course, church. With little planning, we came together in a cultural atmosphere where we broke bread together. Patsy brought ingredients for buttermilk cornbread and baked the bread in a black, cast-iron skillet. We had fresh vegetables, fried chicken, and more including red and white beverages from the “vine.” The menu was not planned. The purpose was to “feel the presence of the Spirit and to celebrate the ascension of Ketanji Brown Jackson as the first Black woman to hold a position on the United States Supreme Court. For the first time, white men won’t be the majority on the Supreme Court. We recognized that we are living in a special historical time and wanted to give thanks to God. As mothers and grandmothers, we talked about the beauty of Ketanji’s parents; Johnny and Ellery Brown, who were raised in the Jim Crow South, attended segregated primary schools, before graduating from historically Black colleges and universities. In addition to unity (Umoja), we expressed our faith (Imani). Our gifts, grace, and gratitude were on full display. The kitchen table allows for freedom and liberation of expression. Marilyn shared the history of her grandmother’s home in West Oakland during the Black Panther era. We celebrated the success of the “Prayers for Kamala,” a national prayer telephone movement open to all to pray for Kamala and the Biden administration. This phenomenal movement was birthed here in the Bay Area by Diane May and others. Sisters coming together as supporters of other women and the community is a continuing sign of woman strength and power. Diane paused to talk about bonding with her grandchildren. Antionette, a publisher, talked about the importance of communication. Darlene talked about how she has drawn strength from God and sisterhood during her valley time of the passing of her husband. This Sunday, we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus after He endured a grueling crucifixion. Woman power was on full display when Mary Magdalene and certain other women stood boldly at the foot of the cross. These same women were the first at the tomb. Women bonded together to bring spices to anoint the body of Jesus. Jesus gave the first Gospel message to a woman, Mary Magdalene. He told her to tell the disciples who were in hiding that he was alive. The Gospel of the Good News is that Jesus is alive! When certain people continue to debate whether God has called a woman to preach, remind them that Jesus gave the first gospel message to a woman and God does not make mistakes. Today, when certain people say that Ketanji is not qualified to be a Supreme Court justice, remind them that she has the highest qualifications of all the Supreme Court justices combined. Lastly, we witnessed the crucifixion of the Honorable Ketanji Brown Jackson worldwide by certain mean Republicans. But thank God on April 7, 2022, we were witnesses to God’s modernday resurrection of Ketanji Brown Jackson. We heard the ‘Good News’ from another Black woman, Kamala Harris, who announced the victory that Ketanji was confirmed. I invite sisters to come together, stand together, speak together, support each other. We all need one another. With God, all things are possible.
winner in the Pan-American Championships in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 1963. He was the Northern California Track Athlete of the Year in 1963, and served as an alternate in the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games. He was inducted into several Halls of Fame: the University of California 1998; Fresno Athletics 2001, and the African American Ethnic Sports (AAESHOF) in 2006. He was recognized by the California Black Sports Hall of Fame for significant community contributions. Johnson’s dear Cal teammate Roger Olson, said Gene was a mentor, always with a positive attitude and wonderful sense of humor. He was “simply the best.” Olson said. Johnson was drafted and then was honorably discharged from the Army in 1967. He continued his education at Hastings School of Law in Labor Arbitration and Media Program Relations and at Golden Gate University where he studied Collective Bargaining in a Recessionary Environment Program. He entered his professional career in management, human resources policy development and workforce program design, holding the title of director at several companies including the Private Industry Council, and KQED. He was a manager at Blue Cross of California Human Resources, Northern Region, and project manager for the Port of Oakland. He was a vocational expert for the Social Security Administration Office of Hearings and Appeals. Johnson loved his dogs, was an avid fisherman, master domino player and general all-around sports fan, with a love for his local sports teams the Raiders, Warriors, and 49ers. He was a long-standing member of Glorious Kingdom Primitive Baptist Church in Oakland until his failing health prevented him from attending in person. Gene met his beloved wife, Wanda, by meeting her coworker who returned to work telling Wanda, “I just met your husband.” Wanda replied “If you don’t want him why do you think I want him?”
Gene would later tell Wanda that when he first met her he was “smitten with her.” Gene and Wanda married on June 27, 1998. The meeting of his future Raider-faithful son, Donald, was just as interesting and eventful. Gene presented Donald with a gift, a wonderful 49ers glass. Needless to say that was going to be a rocky start. Johnson was loved by everyone. His laugh was so distinctive you recognized it when you heard it, a humorous side that kept you laughing for days. In one such instance, his wife Wanda, being scared of spiders, had become accustomed to him killing them for her before their marriage. Post-marriage, Wanda saw a spider and begged Gene to come kill it. But he told her “Wanda you outweigh that spider by at least 140 lbs. You can kill the spider.” Wanda said, “How about you treat me like you treat your dog?” to which Gene dropped his punch line, “OK, Sit.” Gene departed this life with family by his side on Wednesday, March 30, 2022, after a lengthy illness still holding on to his humor. Johnson was preceded in death by his parents, John Henry Johnson and Cora Lee Figg Johnson; his sisters Bernice Maxwell, Wilma Johnson and Annie Clara Helton; brothers Luther Johnson Sr., John Johnson Jr., Clarence Dale Johnson and Spencer Lee Johnson; brothers-in-law Marvin Benson and Drumon Benson; sister-inlaw Charlotte Sanders; nephews, Luther Johnson Jr, Gerald Johnson, Dwight Johnson Sr., and Dwight Johnson Jr. He leaves to mourn and cherish his life, his beloved wife of 23 years, Wanda Johnson; son, Donald Zeno; brother Paul Herbert Johnson (Loretta); sistersin-law, Jeradean Johnson, Mary Benson, and Adria Benson; brothers-in-law Wille Benson Jr. (Lydia), Derek Benson, Andre Benson (Tammy), George Sanders, a host of nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, cousins, other relatives, friends and his cherished dog, Chloe. A memorial service will be held on Monday, April 25 at 11 a.m. at St. Paul AME Church, 2024 Ashby Ave., Berkeley.
