Successful 1-Day Strike Was Only First Step, Activists Say By Ken Epstein

Following a historic one-day strike of teachers and Port workers at the end of April, a coalition of labor and community activists continues to gather steam against the billionaire takeover of public Port of Oakland property and the giveaway of public school property to corporate interests. Hundreds of longshore worker and school activists in a variety of organizations who participated in the one-day strike on Friday, April 29 are developing plans to build their movement by expanding outreach in the community and increasing pressure on the politicians and billionaires who

Congresswoman Barbara Lee (CA-13) issued the following statement on May 10 celebrating the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), the Biden Administration’s effort to make high-speed internet cheaper, faster, and more widely available. “Here in the East Bay, access to high-speed internet is a matter of racial justice and equity,” Lee said. “This became especially clear during the pandemic, when many Oakland kids were not able to participate in remote learning simply because they did not have internet access at home. “The Oakland Unified School District connected 98% of its students to high-speed internet during the pandemic, giving out 36,000 laptops and 11,500 hotspots. That effort is commendable, and it needs to be repeated across our country. It is critical that we help close the economic and educational gap created by lack of affordable internet service. The ACP is a step in the right direction towards equitable internet access for all.” On Monday, President Biden and Vice President Harris announced that they have secured private sector commitments that will lower high-speed internet costs

Maya Angelou’s iconic poem “When Great Trees Fall” is a reminder of the impact that a person has on the lives of others during their lifetime. Rev. Dr. Gillette O. James, pastor emeritus, Beth Eden Baptist Church was called from labor to reward on April 20, 2022, leaving a huge void in the Bay Area after serving for 46 years as senior pastor. He was an honored senior statesman, and distinguished iconic figure. Pastor James joined the Beth Eden community in 1970 as an assistant pastor. A year later, he accepted the call to lead the congregation after the retirement of Pastor A.C. Dones. Dr. James became the 12th pastor of Beth Eden, also known as the “Mother Church” because it was the first Black Baptist church in Oakland, and also a historic flagship church in Alameda County. Dr. James was born in Dominica, West Indies. He immigrated to the United States in 1955, and later met his beautiful wife, the late Dr. Rosa V. Ferguson in Ohio. She was a renowned educator in the Bay Area and formerly with the Progressive National Baptist Convention as noted by Dr. Vinchael Booth.

Rev. Dr. Gillette O James

They remained married for 55 years until her death in 2017. They have one daughter, Jennifer Muhammad. Dr. James was a great soul; he was not only a pastor, he was an educator, author, community leader, justice warrior, humanitarian champion, voice for the voiceless, and a moving force for civil rights in the Bay Area. Pastor James was a strong advocate for the role of women in church leadership positions. At one point, he was ousted from the California State Baptist Convention for his strong stance on women’s involvement in the ministry. He was later restored and continued to license and ordain numerous Continued on Page 12

San Jose Congressman Norman Mineta: the Reparations Hero for Asian Americans By Emil Guillermo

When the Democratic candidates began the 2020 presidential campaign, there was a buzz about reparations for African Americans. And then, the buzz died. I mention that because last week, former San Jose Mayor and 13th District Congressman Norman Y. Mineta passed away at age 90. Mineta will forever be known as the man who got justice for the people incarcerated by the Japanese internment during World War II. He got reparations passed

in a Republican administration. Think about that. Reparations, the BIPOC holy grail.

After Mineta got it done in 1988 under Reagan, it’s never been replicated. Looking back, it seems like a magic trick. But it wasn’t. It was just hard work and politicking. That’s why we all should revere the man who died somewhat appropriately in the first week of May, the month now known as Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Mineta was one of the first Congressional boosters to stretch what was originally a week, and then coined it Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. His passing on May 3,

2022, is an important marker on the significance of diversity and representation at the highest levels of government, politics, and elected office. Born in San Jose to Japanese immigrants, Mineta lived through every major moment in modern Asian American history. For the barriers he broke, and the policies he established, he was simply the community’s father figure. He was Mr. Asian America. For a short-time, I got to be close to him. In the 103rd Congress in 1993, I was Mineta’s press Continued on Page 12

From May 4-6, 2022, hundreds of well-wishers came to celebrate with the senior pastor of Acts-Full Gospel Church of God in Christ, Bishop Robert (Bob) L. Jackson, as he marked 38 years of service. On May 5, Rev. W.R., “Smokie” Norful Jr. preached the sermon. Norful is an American gospel singer and pianist, best known for

his 2002 album, “I Need You Now” and “Nothing Without You,” which won a Grammy at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards for Best Contemporary Soul Gospel Album in 2004. Norful received his second Grammy in 2015 at the 57th Annual Grammy awards for his song “No Greater Love,” 10 years after winning his first.

There’s Hope for Housing: Counselors Can Help You Afford a New Home — Or Keep the One You Have By LaNiece Jones, Special to the Post News Group

California’s severe housing shortage — and the lack of available housing the average family can afford — did not begin with the COVID-19 pandemic. But financial hardships Californians now face resulting from the global health crisis has only made our housing problems worse. The average cost of a home in California is more than 80 % higher than the rest of the country. And renters in our state pay, on average, 50% higher each month than people in other states, according to the California Legislative Analyst’s office. It would take building

LaNiece Jones

about 180,000 new homes a year in California to meet the state’s housing goal, but developers construct less than half of that number, around 70,000 units, annually. Our housing problem seems unsolvable, but there is hope.

A new state program is assisting Californians facing eviction or foreclosure — or those who don’t stand a chance affording a home that’s close to their jobs or family. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s 2020-2021 state budget provides $300 million to the California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA) to help families all over the state. Some of you have been looking hard for a home but to no avail and others have been getting up and working hard every day but you still find yourself struggling with unstable or unaffordable housing. According to CalHFA, $50 million of the funds will support its housing counseling program, which is a critical aspect of the home buying process. More than 75 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)approved counseling agencies all over the state will provide free and confidential advice to Californians who are facing eviction or looking for a home. Information about home buying, reverse mortgages, mortgage delinquency, rental housing, and homelessness programs are all offered by the counseling agencies. So far, over 17,400 households have been served through the program. 1n 2012, a group of faithleaders filed a lawsuit against the country’s largest home lenders to protect homebuyers and homeowners from exploitation in the housing market. Out of that case came the National Mortgage Settlement (NMS) agreement, which allows certified counselors from the Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) Continued on page 6

Learning Black History Year-Round

“The Three Mothers,” a Celebration of Black Motherhood By Tamara Shiloh

James Baldwin is known as “the most eloquent literary spokesperson for the civil rights of African Americans.” A staunch supporter of Black nationalism, Malcolm X was a minister and leader in the civil rights movement. He strongly suggested that Blacks stand against white aggression “by any means necessary.” Social activist and Baptist minister Martin Luther King Jr. played a key role in the civil rights movement. He sought equality and human rights for all people of color through peaceful protest. The common thread that bound these men was their dedication to changing the course of the nation, and that each were raised by a strong Black mother. Emma Berdis Baldwin, Louise Little, and Alberta King are described by author Anna Malaika Tubbs as “women who have been almost entirely ignored throughout history” in her book “The Three Mothers: How the Mothers of Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and James Baldwin Shaped a Nation.” Tubbs writes that the women were “ignored even though it should have been easy throughout history to see them…in ways that are blatantly obvious when the fame of their sons are considered.” These three mothers “have been erased.” Research presented in the book on how Black women have been systematically dehumanized “fights that erasure.” Still, the mothers “allowed

their children to thrive even when all odds were stacked against them.” The exploration of their lives begins on the island of Grenada, generations before Louise (Norton) Little was born. To understand Little, “to know how the color of her skin influenced her thinking, in order to comprehend why her grandparents were so important in her life and, as a result, in Malcolm X’s life, we cannot begin with her birth,” Tubbs explains about researching the family back to the 19th century. Little refused to let her children “fall victim to a mentality that told them they were inferior to anybody else. She made sure they knew how Black people were standing up for their rights not only in the United States but also around the world.” She wrote for the Negro World newspaper and spoke at

least three languages. Like most Black families, the kitchen was the place to gather in the King’s home. It was there that both parents “taught their children about the injustices of Continued on page 10

Honoring our nurses The last 2 years have changed us. We mourn those we’ve lost to this pandemic, including the nurses who selflessly cared for those battling COVID-19. We see and feel things differently because of what we’ve experienced together — in health care and in our country. Through it all, the 65,000 Kaiser Permanente nurses and more than 4 million nurses across our nation have reminded us what it means to heal, the importance of dignity and grace, and the power of hope. This National Nurses Month we recognize and celebrate our nurses — leaders, clinicians, researchers, innovators, and scientists. We see your long hours, deep compassion, and true humanity. Thank you for choosing to be a nurse, and for leading us through the last 2 years with your heart and professionalism. You honor those who came before you — and provide an example for those who will follow in your footsteps. With deep gratitude,

Greg A. Adams Chair and Chief Executive Officer Kaiser Permanente

California ’22 Primary Election: Black Candidates Running for U.S. House of Representatives By Joe W. Bowers Jr., California Black Media

Election offices have begun sending out vote-by-mail ballots for the June 7, 2022, primary elections in California. Statewide, voters will discover that Black candidates for United States House of Representative seats are over-represented on their ballots. California Black Media (CBM) is reporting that 18 Black candidates are running for 14 U.S. House seats. Eleven are registered as Democrats and seven are running as Republicans. Nine are women and nine are men. Although African Americans are 5.8% of California residents, Black candidates are on ballots for 26.9% of the U.S. House seats. California’s delegation to the U.S. House of Representative will have 52 members in the next Congress. While it is the still the largest delegation, one seat was lost due to a decline in population count from the 2020 US census. Congressional district population following the 2020 census is about 761,169 people. A consequence of losing a U.S. House seat is that district boundaries have been redrawn by the independent California Citizens Redistricting Commission (CCRC) and many district numbers have been reassigned. For example, Rep. Barbara Lee, one of the three Black members of the California delegation, currently represents House District 13 and is running to represent District 12.

Top left to right: Barbara Lee, Sydney Kamlager, Maxine Waters; Bottom: Jan C. Perry, William Moses Summerville, Tamika Hamilton.

However, the district numbers for the other Black representatives, Maxine Waters (District 43), who is running for re-election, and Karen Bass (District 37), who has decided to run for mayor of Los Angeles have not changed. The Black candidates running for Congress are: Democrat Kermit Jones is a Navy veteran and an internal medicine doctor who has a law degree. He is running to represent District 3 (Yuba). He is running against three opponents in a district that leans Republican. No current member of Congress is on the ballot for this race. Republican Jimih L. Jones is a parts advisor for a car dealership. He is running to

represent District 4 (Napa). He has five opponents in a solidly Democratic district. Rep. Mike Thompson (D) is running in this race. Republican Tamika Hamilton, a former Air Force sergeant, is running to represent District 6 (Fair Oaks). She has six opponents in a solidly Democratic district. Rep. Ami Bera (D) is running in this race. Two Black candidates are in the competition to represent District 12 (Oakland). Democrat Barbara Lee is a current member of Congress representing District 13 (Oakland). Democrat Eric Wilson is a nonprofit organization Employee. Five candidates are on the ballot.

Biden Administration Invests $145 Million in Re-Entry Programs for Formerly Incarcerated By Aldon Thomas Stiles, California Black Media

After serving a 22-year sentence in a California prison, James Morgan, 51, found himself facing a world of opportunities that he did not imagine he would have as an ex-convict once sentenced to life for attempted murder. Morgan, a Carson native, says he is grateful for a second chance at life, and he has taken full advantage of opportunities presented him through California state reentry and rehabilitation programs. After completing mental health care for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Morgan was released from prison and granted parole in 2018. “I did not expect what I found when I got out,” Morgan told California Black Media (CBM), explaining that he was fortunate to participate in a program for the formerly incarcerated in San Francisco. “I was mandated by the courts to spend a year in transitional housing,” said Morgan. “Those guys walked us through everything. They made it really easy. It was all people I could relate to, and they knew how to talk to me because they used to be in the prison population — and they were from where we were from.” Morgan says he also took lessons on anger management and time management. Now, he is currently an apprentice in Local 300 Laborers Union, specializing in construction, after he participated in a pre-apprenticeship program through ARC (the Anti-

Recidivism Coalition). “Right now, I’m supporting my family,” Morgan said. “I’d say I’m doing pretty good because I hooked up with the right people.” Supporters of criminal justice reform say Morgan’s success story in California is particularly encouraging. Black men in the Golden State are imprisoned nearly 10 times the rate of their white counterparts, according to the Public Policy Institute of California. And just a little over a decade ago in 2011, the Supreme Court of the United States ordered California to reduce the number of inmates in its overcrowded prison system by 33,000. Of that population, nearly 30% were Black men even though they account for about 5% of the state’s population. To help more formerly incarcerated people like Morgan get back on their feet after paying their debt to society, last month the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Labor announced that the federal

government is investing $145 million over the course of the next fiscal year to support reentry programs across the country. The Biden-Harris Administration also announced plans to expand federal job opportunities and loan programs, expand access to health care and housing, and develop and amplify educational opportunities for the formerly and currently incarcerated. “It’s not enough to just send someone home, it’s not enough to only help them with a job. There’s got to be a holistic approach,” said Chiraag Bains, deputy assistant to the president and deputy director of the White House Domestic Policy Council on Racial Justice and Equity. Bains told CBM that that reentry programs help establish an “incarceration-to-employment pipeline.” The White House announced the programs late last month as President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of 75 people and granted pardons to

Fellow Music Teacher Replaces Violin Stolen From Tarika Lewis By Tanya Dennis

It is common knowledge that for the most part, teachers are underpaid, and many times unappreciated. Yet despite that fact, most teachers go beyond what is expected of them for their students. Retired teacher Vallie Towns and teacher Tarika Lewis share that attribute. So, when Towns learned of the theft of Lewis’ violin in the Post last month, she felt compelled to respond. “She’s trying to help these kids, and the last thing she needs is to lose her instrument.” Says Towns. Lewis, a teacher at the Healthy Babies Project lost her beloved violin to theft after someone broke into her car. Towns experienced the same loss while teaching at Bret Harte Middle School. Towns started playing the violin at age 9 and was a music major at Howard University completing her degree at the University of Redlands in 1974. She’d been a music teacher in the Oakland School District since 1976, teaching at Jefferson and Aspire Elementary, Bret Harte, Westlake, Madison and Foster Middle School and Castlemont High school, where she was the director of the Castleers, a world-renown choral group started by Phil Reeder. Lewis is a visual artist, musician, author and political activist, and the first female to join the Black Panther Party at age 16, where she became a marksman, achieved the rank of lieutenant and helped train new recruits and teach drill classes. Her drawings were often seen in the Black Panther newspaper. After leaving the Panthers in 1969, she became a graphic artist and violin-

another three, including Abraham Bolden, the first Black Secret Service agent on White House detail. Bolden had been sentenced to 39 months in prison in 1964 for allegedly attempting to sell classified Secret Service documents. He has always maintained his innocence. “Today, I granted pardons to three people and commuted the sentences of 75 people. America is a nation of laws, but we are also a nation of second chances, redemption, and rehabilitation,” Biden tweeted April 26. According to Bains, about half of the people the President pardoned are Black or Brown. “The president has spoken repeatedly about the fact that we have too many people serving time in prison for nonviolent drug offenses and too many of those people are Black and Brown,” said Bains. “This is a racial equity issue.” Both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have faced sharp criticisms in the past for supporting tough-on-crime policies that, as U.S. Senator and California Attorney General respectively, have had disproportionately targeted Blacks and other minorities. According to a 2021 Stanford University Study, reentry programs in California have contributed to a 37% decrease in the average re-arrest rate over the period of a year. Over the last decade, California has funded a number of initiatives supporting reentry and rehabilitation. In 2015, Continued on page 10

In a Major Win for Black Health, FDA Publishes Proposed Rule Banning Menthol Flavored Cigarettes and Flavored Cigars

African American Tobacco Control Leadership Council CoChair Carol McGruder. Photo courtesy of AATCLC. By Keisha N. Brown

After more than a decade of inaction and a citizens’ petition lawsuit brought by the African American Tobacco Control Leadership Council (AATCLC) and its partners, Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), the American Medical Association, and the National Medical Association, the FDA is finally moving a proposed national ban on menthol-flavored cigarettes and flavored cigars. While the proposed ban wouldn’t take effect for at least two years, this move is a major

ist touring with saxophonist John Handy, then went on to teach visual arts at Castlemont High. She is the art instructor and counselor at the Healthy Babies Project that helps women use visual art to heal trauma they’ve endured due to substance abuse. In 2001, she was awarded the Congressional Recognition Award for Performing Artist and Recognition of Community Work. Towns’ gift to Lewis is exceptional, as it is a Germanmade copy of a Stradivarius violin, considered some of the finest instruments ever made. “I went to Mr. Fiore of Fiore’s Music, the repair and music store on 7800 MacArthur Blvd. back in the day, after mine was stolen and he got me this beautiful violin that, after the theft at school, I only played at my house. “When I heard there was a

fundraiser, I called the Post and asked them to put me in touch with Ms. Lewis because she was doing what I’d done for 37 years, helping our people discover the beauty and power of music, as it’s all about exposure.” Ironically, when the two met at the Joyce Gordon Gallery they realized they’d worked together at Castlemont High School where Lewis was then the art teacher. “Do you know what we could’ve been doing if we’d known each other then? I had no idea Tarika played the violin! We could’ve had a string quartet and worked out ensembles. Maybe in another life. For now, I’m just happy to see her dust off my violin that’s been under my bed for 30 years and teach our children.”

Karine Jean-Pierre to Make History as First Black Woman and Openly LGBTQ White House Press Secretary By Brandon Patterson

win for Black health in America. For decades, Big Tobacco has used menthol-flavored tobacco products and flavored cigars to target African Americans. Eighty-five percent of all African American smokers smoke menthol cigarettes compared to 29% of white smokers. Menthol cigarettes increase addiction and make it harder to quit. “We are working towards a day where no Black people in America die from preventable deaths due to tobacco,”

White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre will make history this on May 13 when she assumes the role of White House press secretary, becoming the first Black and first openly LGBTQ person to hold the position. President Biden announced last week that he was appointing Jean-Pierre to the role as current press secretary, Jen Psaki, departs to assume a media role at MSNBC. Jean-Pierre currently serves as principal deputy press secretary. “Karine not only brings the experience, talent and integrity needed for this difficult job, but she will continue to lead the way in communicating about the work of the Biden-Harris Administration on behalf of the American people,” Biden said in a written statement. “Jill and I have known and respected Karine a long time and she will be a strong voice speaking for me and this Administration.” “I am still processing it because, as Jen said…this is a historic moment and it’s not lost on me,” Jean-Pierre said during the White House press conference last week when the announcement was made. “I understand how important it is for so many people out there. So many different communities that I stand on their shoulders.” She continued: “It is an honor and a privilege to be behind this podium.” Jean-Pierre was born in Martinique to Haitian parents and migrated to the United States with her family as a child, according to NBC News. She grew up in Queens, New York. She got her start in politics as an activist, and later as a political commentator for MSNBC. She was chief public affairs offi-

Dream Fund: Entrepreneurs Can Apply for $10,000 Grants Through $35M State Program

By Tanu Henry, California Black Media

By Tanu Henry, California Black Media

Since 2017, there has been a 9.8% increase of new small businesses — firms with less than 500 employees — in the United States. Over the past two years alone, over 10 million applications were submitted to start new small businesses across the country, according to the Small Business Administration. That growth trend is true for California, too, where there are about 4.1 million small businesses, the most in the country. Those companies make up 99.8% of all business in California and employ about 7.2 million people. But for Black-owned and other minority owned small businesses across the country, there was a steep decline in numbers, almost 41%, due to the pandemic, a Census Population Survey found in 2020. During that same time, nearly 44% of minority-owned small businesses were at risk of shutting down, a Small Business Majority report found. Although a number of reports suggest that the outlook has begun to be more positive as the U.S. economy continues to bounce back defying the odds, and many Black businessowners have also become more optimistic, access to credit and technical support remain a challenge for many who had to dip into their own finances to keep their lights on. Recognizing the outsized contribution small businesses make to the health of the California economy and the hit many of the smallest of small business have taken during the pandemic, the California Office of the Small Business Advocate (CalOSBA) has been making grants of up to $25,000 to small business in the state. In its latest round of funding called the Dream Fund, which is now accepting applications on a rolling basis, CalOSBA has partnered with Lendistry, a Los Angeles-based, minorityled small business and commercial real estate lender to administer the $35 million grant

portion of its program. The fund provides $10,000 to each small business that qualifies. To become eligible, California-based small businessowners will have to complete training at one of the centers run by the state’s Technical Assistance Expansion Program (TAEP) and receive a certificate. “For the millions of Californians that have dreams of owning their own business, this grant coupled with one-on-one counseling and business expertise from hundreds of counselors at our eighty-seven Technical Assistance Centers, has the power to jumpstart their dreams,” says Tara Lynn Gray, director of CalOSBA. Jay King, president and CEO of the Sacramento-based California Black Chamber of Commerce, says he applauds Gov. Gavin Newsom for understanding the historic systemic challenges minority businesses face and for “doing something about it.” But giving Black businesses grants are not a “cure-all,” he says. “It is like putting a BandAid on a bullet wound if we don’t do more to really fix the problems small businesses face,” King explains. “Ninetysix percent of Black businesses are mini- or micro- that means they make less than $100,000 or less than $35,000 a year, respectively,” King continued.

“Only 4% of our businesses earn more than $100,000 annually. We have to put more resources and technical support around these businesses.” King says informing Black businessowners about opportunities like the Dream Fund and making sure they know how to apply for or access the funding is critical to making sure the people who need the help gets it. “You have to get down into our communities,” he said. “You have to reach people through groups that are plugged into our communities to get the word out. We do not hear about these kinds of programs enough. We definitely don’t benefit from them enough.” Everett K. Sands, the CEO of Lendistry, says he is excited to help California’s new businesses access the capital they need to “begin on their journeys. “Over the past two years, almost 10 million new businesses have been created in the U.S.,” he says. “With record numbers of new small businesses entering the marketplace, many of which are owned by women and minorities, programs like California Dream Fund pave the way for a more robust and equitable economy as these new businesses make the leap from employing just their founders to employing their communities.”

California Gas Prices to Spike Even More With July 1 Tax Increase

Send your church notes, stories and events to Post News Group, Email at ads@ postnewsgroup.com

“I really don’t understand how the price of gas can rise so drastically in California,” said a Black woman and 55-year-old Rancho Cucamonga resident who agreed to be interviewed for this article but asked to not be identified. “Unfortunately, we need to purchase it regardless of the prices and that’s one of reasons, I believe, it continues to increase,” she complained. “Weekly, it is costing me approximately $75 to commute to and from work, which is $35 more than I used to pay.” The woman, who is a collections officer with a lead abatement company, said filling her tank often means she has to forgo another obligation. As of Friday, the average gas price per gallon was $5.82 in the state. Now, news that the state is tacking an extra 3-cent tax on every gallon purchased — which will not be a significant increase — is still absurd, says the woman, considering that California already has the highest gas prices in the nation. Because Gov. Gavin Newsom and the state Legislature missed the May 1 deadline to suspend an inflationary gas tax increase that is scheduled for July 1, it will still take effect. Policymakers would have had to act 60 days in advance to avert the increase. Democratic lawmakers, backed by environmentalists, are digging their heels in, defending their decision not to suspend the inflationary tax

increase that they fought hard to approve when they voted to pass Senate Bill 1 in 2017. “As we’ve said before, suspending the gas tax would reduce critical funds available for road repair and improvement projects,” Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins, (D-San Diego) and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, DLakewood said in a joint statement. “Additionally, as oil companies continue to rake in record-high profits, there is no guarantee this relief would be passed onto consumers,” Atkins and Rendon continued. With the tax hike, the average excise tax price per gallon in the state will go from about 51cents per gallon to 54 cents per gallon. Last month, with the May 1 deadline looming, Newsom’s office acknowledged that it would not be able to convince lawmakers in the state Senate and Assembly to suspend the tax increase. Instead, Newsom’s spokesperson Alex Stack released a statement suggesting that the Governor’s office was turning

its attention to providing relief to Californians as the cost of gas, food and other commodities continue to skyrocket. “We look forward to working with lawmakers on the governor’s proposal for direct payments to Californians wrestling with rising prices,” Stack said in a statement. “Helping offset the impact of inflation on California residents remains a top priority for the governor.” Legislative Republicans blasted their Democratic colleagues for their “inaction” on the gas tax increase. “Californians are desperate for any relief at the pump while paying the highest gas prices in the nation, but Democrats have decided to run out the clock and increase the state’s gas tax instead,” read a statement the state Republican Party released earlier this month. Gov. Newsom and lawmakers in both chambers of the Legislature have still not agreed on how to address the excessive cost of gas in the state.

PUBLIC AUCTION/SALES Lien Sale Auction Advertisement Notice is hereby given that Pursuant to the California SelfService Storage Facility Act,

the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation launched the Male Community Re-Entry Program (MCRP) that provides communitybased rehabilitative services in Butte, Kern, Los Angeles and San Diego Counties. The Butte program services Tehama, Nevada, Colusa, Glenn, Sutter,

Placer and Yuba counties. A year later, Gov. Newsom’s office introduced the California Community Reinvestment Grant Program. The initiative funds community groups providing services like job placement, mental health treatment, housing and more to people, including the formerly incarcerated, who were impacted by

the War on the Drugs. Morgan spoke highly of programs that helped him reintegrate into society — both in prison and after he was released. “In hindsight, I look back at it and I’m blown away by all of the ways that they’ve helped me,” Morgan said.

In a Major Win for Black Health, FDA Publishes Proposed Rule Banning Menthol Flavored Cigarettes and Flavored Cigars Continued from page 7

explained AATCLC Co-Chair Carol McGruder. “This critical move in the rule-making process by the FDA helps make that day a reality.” In order to ensure loopholes do not exist to allow Big Tobacco to continue to hook Black Americans with these products, AATCLC is urging the FDA to expand their rule to ban menthol, not just as a characterizing flavor, but as an ingredient altogether. Formed in 2008 and based in California, the African American Tobacco Control Leadership Council is one of the country’s leading public health education and advocacy organization taking on Big Tobacco to save Black lives. The AATCLC works at the intersection

of social injustice and public health policy. Working with health jurisdictions, elected officials, community-based organizations, tobacco researchers, activists, and the media, the AATCLC is leading the fight to end the sale of menthol and all flavored tobacco products.

no further recourse. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (916) 9390772 or visit this Internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 131724-5. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. IF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY CONTAINS FROM ONE TO FOUR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES, THE FOLLOWING WILL APPLY: NOTCE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer”, you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder”, you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (916) 939-0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case 131724-5 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder”, you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property.

Installation Invoking Black Struggle for Justice Opens May 14 Tribute to the Late Rev. Dr. Continued from page 1

biases within our institutional structures of justice and allows for moments of reflection and healing. The designers, Dayton Schroeter, Julian Arrington, Monteil Crawley and Ivan O’Garro, created the installation to contextualize the contemporary phenomenon of police killings of Black Americans within the 400+ year continuum of racialized state violence in the United States. It is a data driven installation shaped in response to the question “What is the value of Black life in America?” The Oakland installation will be the first on the West Coast as it travels nationally to sites of symbolic power related to justice, freedom & democracy. Originating in Washington, D.C. on the National Mall in response to the 2020 murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, Society’s Cage has continued its journey as an interpretive lens highlighting the historic forces of racialized state violence in the United States. Other sites have included War Memorial Plaza in Baltimore, Maryland, and the site of the Vernon AME Chapel in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race massacre and destruction of the Greenwood District, known as Black Wall Street. Oakland is an ideal host site for the installation as the home of the Black Panther Party, which was founded to combat the legacy of police oppression, inequitable incarceration practices, and remnants of slavery in the form of statesponsored terrorism against Black people. In 2009, the killing of Oscar Grant, a 22-year-old unarmed Black transit rider by the BART police in Oakland set off local and regional organized protests that catalyzed a national movement.   “We were inspired to create the installation as a response to the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor,” explains Dayton Schroeter, lead design-

er of Society’s Cage and design director at SmithGroup, which has offices in San Francisco. “The pavilion is a real and raw reflection of the conversations about racism happening now. It’s a physical manifestation of the institutional structures that have undermined the progress of Black Americans over the history of this country.” “The name Society’s Cage refers to the societal constraints that limit the prosperity of the Black community,” says Julian Arrington, who led the design with Schroeter, and is an associate at SmithGroup. “The pavilion creates an experience to help visitors understand and acknowledge these impacts of racism and be moved to create change.” “It only took an instant for me to commit to this project,” said Randolph Belle, executive director of Support Oakland Artists. “In my over 30 years in Oakland as an artist and community developer, I’ve strived to utilize the arts to engage the public in thoughtful ways

around important and timely topics. This project, this site, and these times are an unprecedented example of that.” Visitors are encouraged to participate in a shared experience upon entering the pavilion. After holding their breath for as long as they can, evoking the common plea among victims of police killings, “I can’t breathe,” visitors then post a video reflection of their experience on social media using the hashtag #SocietysCage. This exercise is meant not only to build empathy but expand the installation’s impact online to allow anyone to participate in this shared exercise. The pavilion was fabricated by Gronning Design + Manufacturing LLC in Washington, D.C., and Mejia Ironworks in Hyattsville, Maryland. A soundscape was commissioned from a pair of composers, Raney Antoine, Jr. and Lovell “U-P” Cooper. Comprised of four pieces, each 8 minutes and 46 seconds in length in recognition of the

time George Floyd suffered under the knee of police, they are themed to reflect each of the four institutional forces that sculpted the pavilion’s interior — mass incarceration, police terrorism, capital punishment and racist lynchings. E a r l y sponsors who have made the hosting of the Society’s Cage Oakland installation possible include the Akonadi Foundation, Tarbell Family Foundation, individual sponsors including principals from SmithGroup’s San Francisco office, corporate sponsorship including SmithGroup and many community partners including BIG Oakland. Jeremy Crandall and Emax Exhibits were the Oakland Installation team. A public unveiling is scheduled for Saturday, May 14 at 11 a.m., and a programmed event featuring local cultural artists is scheduled for Sunday, May 29, 2022 at 7 p.m. Participating individuals and organizations include original members of the Black Panther Party, the Black Cultural Zone, HipHopTV, and a host of local artists. For more information, visit www.societyscage.com to find a link to the donation site. Additional donations will assist with programming and documentation related to the Oakland activation. Randolph Belle is the executive director of Support Oakland Artists and RBA Creative studio in Oakland.

Successful 1-Day Strike Was Only First Step Continued from page 1

ward to building on the results of the strike. “It was really successful; we shut all the schools and the Port,” she said. “It was historic to have this united action between teachers, the ILWU, and parents,’’ she added, emphasizing the participation of parents and the “solidarity among different unions that came together at the S.L.A.P. rally against privatization (at City Hall).” Some activists are hopeful that the Oakland City Council will listen to the outcry from constituents who are demanding that the Council place a measure on the ballot that allows voters to decide whether they want to spend over a $1 billion in public money for John Fisher’s new A’s stadium and massive real estate development. Parents, teachers and school advocates are working with schools that are facing school closures this year and next year to enhance community wide understanding that neighborhood schools, even ones that are not large, are necessary to the survival of working-class Black and Latinx neighborhoods. Others are focusing on a statewide campaign to pressure political leaders who talk liberal but whose actions instead create a commitment to austerity, the sell-off of public assets and backing the Fiscal Crisis Management and Assistance Team (FCMAT), which is a state-funded unaccountable agency that is going around California closing schools and cutting public school funding. Farias said she saw amaz-

ing examples of solidarity in the strike: school workers in AFSCME and SEIU 1021 joined teachers to picket at schools. “Some principals joined teachers on the picket lines, including the president of the administrators’ union.” “Longshore workers heading to work respected the (community) picket lines (on Friday evening), and for hours we were able to shut down the Port, the economic engine of the Bay Area,” she said. “It was (also) exciting that parents supported the strike. We really need to grow that solidarity,” Farias said, adding that more and more students are getting in-

volved. The strength of the movement is the “public alliance between teachers and longshore workers,” she said. Next steps are to broaden and deepen the movement: “There has to be a greater understanding that the agenda of privatization is the driving force behind the school closures,” she continued. Farias also emphasized that the fight ahead will not be easy. Though the movement is stronger and has had some victories, she said, “I don’t think school closures are going to go away anytime soon. We’re trying to slow or stop a train that has been on the tracks for a long time now.”

Timothy “Akaamka” Killings, a school employee and S.L.A.P. steering committee member, also viewed the strike as a major step forward for the anti-privatization movement. “We’ve connected the two struggles: the longshore workers against privatization of the Port of Oakland and the teachers and community against school closures and consolidations,” he said. “In terms of teachers pushing back against the district, and the community being involved in the struggle and being able to get the word out about what’s going

time he served in government, Norm was there for all of us. He was our fighter and our redeemer when he co-sponsored the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, that got justice for internees. More than $1.6 billion was paid out to 82,200 Japanese Americans, according to the New York Times. That was always the difference maker. Norm was in the fight to rectify the historical transgression that gives Asian Americans our moral authority to this day. There were other Asian American politicians, of course. But few had the career arc of Mineta, who first served locally in 1971 as mayor of San Jose. He was the first Asian American mayor of a major U.S. city. In 1974, he was first elected

to Congress, leaving in 1995, when the divided government began to shape up with an aggressive GOP led by Newt Gingrich. But Norm re-emerged in government with more Asian American firsts, as Commerce Secretary in the Clinton Cabinet, and then Transportation Secretary under G.W. Bush. Two administrations. Two different parties. The Norm I knew was the 1993 Norm. The people’s Norm. The Norm who drove a modest white Dodge Colt because he wanted an American car.

women in the clergy ministry. Bay Area pastors looked up to Dr. James as a ‘pastor’s pastor’ and mentor. For him, life had endless possibilities. Dr. James had a reputation for keeping churches united. Under his leadership, Beth Eden maintained strong relationships with other churches and denominations including Taylor United Methodist, Bethlehem Lutheran and Antioch Missionary Baptist churches during the Thanksgiving season. Dr. James was one of the rare persons who reached the summit of life because he believed in God’s word; “Thou Will be Done on Earth.” Doing God’s will on earth was about helping others along the way. With the help of able-bodied members, Beth Eden built 54 senior housing units, purchased single-family housing and a triplex near the church for low-income families, fed the hungry, distributed groceries in the community. Under his visionary leadership, a new family life center, with gymnasium and a daycare facility started construction and has been completed under the leadership of Dr. Dwight Webster, current pastor. Dr. James showed a great appreciation for Black History, both from a religious as well as a cultural perspective. Beth Eden provided free office space to the first Black Adoption Agency in the Bay Area in its early days. At one point, Beth Eden was named Oakland’s Teaching Church of the Year by the Berkeley School of Theology, formerly known as American Baptist Seminary of the West. Dr. James served on the seminary’s trustee board, was an adjunct professor at the seminary, bringing new ways of bridging theological training to the everyday lives of people. Dr. James’ patience and foresight helped individuals to discern their calling to the ministry; some became pastors because they were properly trained, tutored and mentored in the meaning of godly service to others. Dr. James authored “Through Toils and Snares-A Preacher Testifies.” In this book, we get a glimpse of Dr. James’ life prior to his call to ministry at Beth Eden. Dr. James served two years in the military as Chaplain Assistant with numerous military attire photos. He was ordained in San Francisco at the Greater New St. John Missionary Baptist Church; one month later he and his wife were the key organizers of Grace Baptist Church, San Francisco. Drs. Gillette and Rosa James purchased a beautiful home on Havenscourt Boulevard, a tree-lined street in East Oakland where they loved entertaining the deacon and deaconess boards, often having them over for dinner and fellowship. On March 13, 2017, Congresswoman Barbara Lee honored Dr. James in the House of Representatives on the occasion of his retirement as Pastor of Beth Eden. Dr. James legacy will never die. The current pastor, Rev. Dwight Webster, PhD, is a former son of Beth Eden, who was mentored by Dr. James. The Homegoing celebration for Dr. James will be held Monday, May 16, 2022, at Beth Eden Baptist Church at 1183 Tenth St. in Oakland at 11 a.m. COVID protocols will be observed and everyone must wear a mask.

Rep. Lee Issues Statement on Biden High-Speed Internet Deal

for millions of families. As part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Congress and the White House worked to create the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which allows tens of millions of American households to reduce their internet service costs by up to $30/month (or $75/month on Tribal lands). To ensure the most efficient use of those public dollars and to deliver maximum cost savings to families, the Biden-Harris Administration has secured commitments from 20 leading internet providers — covering more than 80% of the U.S. population across urban, suburban, and rural areas — to either increase speeds or cut prices, making sure they all offer ACP-eligible households high-speed, high-quality internet plans for no more than $30/month. From large providers like AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon serving dozens of states, to smaller providers serving rural areas like Jackson Energy Authority in Tennessee and Comporium in North Carolina, the commitments will allow tens of millions of ACPeligible households to receive high-speed internet at no cost.

Norman Mineta: the Reparations Hero for Asian Americans

secretary and speechwriter. I had been at NPR where I hosted “All Things Considered.” When I left that position, I thought as a Californian in Washington, I should at least get to know how democracy gets done from the inside. Ideally, I figured you can cross the line into the netherworld of politics once. You can even cross back from whence you came. Once. But Norm was no ordinary politician. He was the embodiment of Asian America in public life. He was our hopes and dreams. Our cries and sorrows. From the time he was a Cub Scout incarcerated with other Japanese Americans during World War II to the

Liberties Act, always diligent, persistent, and searching for a way to make things better. That’s what I learned about Norm the most. Remember, this was in the early ’90s. Washington was getting nastier, more divisive, and gridlocked. But Norm had friends like the late Republican Sen. Alan Simpson. They met as Boy Scouts in Wyoming. One incarcerated at the internment camp, the other free. Later as congressmen, they stood for a kind of bipartisanship that is rare these days. That was perhaps the most significant political lesson I learned from Mineta. Legislation is one thing, but we’re all still human beings. And the goal is to turn adversaries into friends and to have your

friends stay friends. You keep the channels open. You create new alliances, like the ideal public-private partnerships. The point is, Mineta was always seeking solutions, working together with others to make things better. He passes as the country is bitterly divided on everything. His life should serve as a playbook on how to keep the fragile nature of our democracy whole. Remember Norm Mineta. He was the Democrat who got reparations passed in a Republican administration. Today, that would make him a political Superman. Emil Guillermo is a journalist and commentator. Listen to his talk show on www. amok.com Twitter@emilamok
