Special Guest Elihu Harris at Assembly Candidate Janani Ramachandran’s Meet and Greet By Emma Sullivan
Oakland needs a representative who is committed, has integrity, and will walk the walk, says former Oakland Mayor and Assemblymember Elihu Harris. At the age of 29, Hardistrict in the California State Assembly. Forty-three years later, he joined Oakland residents in supporting Janani Ramachandran, 29-year-old social justice attorney, community activist, and candidate for California State Assembly in the June 29 special election. Addressing a crowd of 50 community members in the Glenview community on June 18, Harris introduced Ramachandran, emphasizing the importance of the state Legislature.

Editor’s note: This article was edited for brevity and clarity. On Thursday, June 18, Gov. Gavin Newsom came to Oakland to talk about small businesses and the “largest small business relief program in the nation.” Dubbed California Roars Back, it’s the governor’s $100 billion “comeback plan”. Newsom toured Beastmode both Black-owned businesses and held a press gaggle with the business owners, local politicians and community business leaders. The Post News Group was granted an exclusive one-on-one sit down interview with Newsom. Post: “Thank you for your
time. Why was it important for you to come to Oakland to talk about the comeback plan?” Newsom: “ Oakland has been described by some of my San Francisco friends as what San Francisco used to be. It’s a compliment(since) many aspects of San Francisco have been lost to sort of a universal sameism in certain neighborhoods where you see the same eight nine chains, and the neighborhoods begin to lose their sense of community. “You come to Oakland, and you see this thriving small business network, just remarkable diverse creative artists who happen to be entrepreneurs, literally tively. “And so for me it’s really .. the Continued on Page 11

June 19, 1982: When Beating Victim Vincent Chin Became a Martyr in the Asian American Community By Emil Guillermo
People talk so much about intersectionality these days, I like to joke, “Is that where MacArthur crosses Broadway in Oakland?” But when it comes to Juneteenth, we have a genuine opportunity for Black and Asian solidarity. Have you ever thought about Juneteenth and Vincent Chin’s June 19th? On June 19, 1982, Ronald Ebens, a white auto worker in that ended up with Ebens striking Chin twice to the head with a baseball bat. Chin was in a coma until he died on June 23. Ebens’ murder of Chin is considered the most infamous
Opinion individual hate crime in Asian American history, mostly because the murderer has done no time for the crime. Still alive at 81, Ebens has not only skirted prosecution in the criminal matter; he has skillfully used bankruptcy and homesteading laws in Nevada to avoid a wrongful death civil suit settlement. Ordered by the court in 1987 to pay $1.5 million to Chin’s family, the Chin estate has received nothing for the last 34 years. That sense of delayed justice is no less than the extension of the crime itself—one thing the Chin case has in common with Juneteenth. Blacks in Texas were working as slaves for more than two years after
the Emancipation Proclamation. Nobody bothered to tell them that overtime for slavery was now illegal in the United States. Once you understand the purposeful ignorance that allowed slavery to be extended beyond its time, you understand how those subjected to this and their descendants deserve a whole lot more than a federal holiday. Asian Americans don’t need a holiday, but they should appreciate the irony of the coincidence with Juneteenth. After his attack on June 19, Chin was in a coma. On the 23rd Chin didn’t wake up. But an entire generation of Asian Americans did. For those born in the era of the Civil Rights Movement, Chin was the cue for a
new wave of Asian Americans ready to take part in the coalition for social justice. Since then, the Asian American population has grown to more than 23 million people. And now, a new generation is discovering the impact and the importance of the Chin case in a time when more than 6,600 hate instances have occurred fueled by a scapegoating Republican administration during a pandemic. Much has been made of viral images of Black perps attacking mostly older Asian Americans. Don’t be fooled into making a knee-jerk generalization. The University of Michigan’s Virulent Hate Project reviewed 4,337 news articles between January 1 and December Continued on Page 11
Congresswoman Barbara Lee By Alex Katz
On Monday, Congresswoman Barbara Lee (CA-13) began to urge East Bay families to apply for the new Child Tax Credit – a provision of the American Rescue Plan that will start delivering checks to eligible families as soon as next month. Congresswoman Lee held a press conference Monday at the Unity Council at 1900 Fruitvale Ave., in Oakland’s Fruitvale neighborhood to provide information about the tax credit and the application process. “Even before the pandemic,
2 out of 5 people in this country – about 140 million of us – were poor or low-income, just cial ruin,” Congresswoman Lee said. “It doesn’t have to be this way. Poverty is a policy choice, and we can choose to end it. This historic tax credit is one step towards dismantling poverty in America and ensuring the basic needs of all children are met.” The expanded Child Tax Credit will provide $3,000 for children ages 6-17 and $3,600 for children under 6.

Learning Black History Year-Round The Black Press: Our Trusted Messenger Florence Beatrice Price: A Classical First By Dr. John E. Warren, Publisher, The San Diego Voice & Viewpoint
Sometimes it’s necessary to be reminded of who we are and who our friends are. It’s also important to remember from whence we have come. Such is the case this week with the Black Press. Our Black newspapers are now celebrating 194 years of being the and the source of information in “our” struggle for freedom and equality. With the advent of the recent pandemic and the visible disparity of Blacks dying at
Dr. John E. Warren
greater numbers than others, getting fewer vaccines, working in the highest risk occupations and facing death at the hands of law enforcement, our need for a “trusted” source of
information is greater than social media, which has become an alternative for many. At the same time, the interest in reaching our communities has increased on all levels. The question has become “who is in touch with the Black community” as injustice, murder and social disparity continue to grow among Blacks. The NAACP and the Urban League gave the impression that they were in touch with the Black community. But the reality is neither organization has ever been in touch with the Black community without the Black Press. It is Black newspapers and not CNN, ABC, NBC or CBS that carries the articles and commentaries of these organizations to the Black community. Yet, neither of these organizations ever mentions the Black Press when taking both credit and dollars for outreach to the Black community. The African American and Black communities of America should not be duped into believing that social media has become a substitute for the Black Press. The Black Press is now both print and electronic, it’s a newswire service as provided by the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA), providing coverage of both news here in America and around the world. It is the Black Press that has been the “Trusted Messenger” to our communities for 194 years, and that says a lot. Our newspapers are the rear guard, the battle ground against the efforts to resegregate America and return to “Jim Crow” racism. As we celebrate Juneteenth, let us remember that we are not Continued on page 8

By Tamara Shiloh
Eleven years into the Jim Crow laws, Florence B. Price (1888– 1953) was born into a middleclass family in Little Rock, Ark. It was a time when anyone of African descent in North America, no matter their successes, was viewed as part of the underclass. Price’s mother was a music teacher, owned and ran a restaurant, worked in real estate and served as secretary of the International Loan and Trust Company. Her father was an artist, a notable dentist and inventor of patented dental tools. The family was considered among the ‘10 percenters,’ from a classical education and had the potential to lead American society. They were known to host gatherings of the Black intelligentsia. Young Florence entertained those guests on the piano, a skill taught by her mother. In 1903, Price attended the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. Knowing that race was a barrier for entry, she presented herself as being of
-
Mexican descent. In three years, she earned a soloist’s diploma in organ and a teacher’s diploma in piano. Encouraged to compose, Florence studied composition and counterpoint. Her early works included pieces for piano and organ. She later returned to the South, teaching at the Arkadelphia Presbyterian Academy and later at Little Rock’s Shorter College. She became head of the music department at Clark University in Atlanta (1910–1912), and then returned to Little Rock. Price was denied membership to the Arkansas State Music Teach-

ers Association. Refusing to give up, she established her own music studio and founded the Little Rock Club of Musicians. At that time, racial tension in Little Rock was escalating. The numbers of Black men being beaten and lynched were on the to Chicago for their safety. The Prices divorced in 1931, leaving Florence a single mother. She then played the organ for popular songs for WGN radio. She forged friendships with likeminded musicians and artists and continued her composition studies. Eventually, Price’s concert music came to the attention of one of her teachers, which led to her big break in 1932. Price won several prizes at the Wanamaker Music Composition Contest. These successes attracted the attention of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s music director, who, soon after, conducted a performance of Price’s First Symphony (1933). At that moment, she became established as a composer of in American history to have a symphonic work performed by a major American orchestra. “It is a faultless work, a work that speaks its own message with restraint and yet with passion … worthy of a place in the regular symphonic repertory,” the Chicago Daily News reported. Despite her success, Price struggled, surviving mostly on the kindness of friends. She suffered from poor health and was often hospitalized. By 1953, her work was gaining a new momentum. While preparing for a promotion trip to Europe, she suffered a heart attack and died.

Mills College Will Merge With Northeastern Spoken Word Offers Aid to University Rather Than Close Black Men Facing Hardships The Oakland college reverses course and announces a new survival plan. Men will be admitted as undergraduates, changing tradition. By Larry Gordon EdSource Mills College in Oakland, which had previously planned to close by 2023 because of enrollment, has announced a merger with Northeastern University in Boston that would keep the campus open. The new plan would allow the historic college cambut would cease its tradition of serving only women in its undergraduate programs and would end its independence. The college, which last year enrolled about 960 students, would become known as Mills College at Northeastern University, and current Mills students could stay or possibly transfer to Northeastern’s main campus in Boston, according to an announcement. much remains open to negations. The Mills College board Northeastern “because we share a vision of what education can and must be in the coming decades. The missions of Mills and Northeastern are aligned through our shared commitment to access, social justice and urban education,” according to a statement from Hillman. Northeastern already has satellite programs in San Francisco and San Jose. The lite campuses, including two in Canada -- Toronto and Vancouver. Men would be allowed to enroll as undergraduates, Hillman said. “Mills will become gender inclusive on the under-
Mills College President Elizabeth Hillman graduate level, but will forever be shaped by our legacy as a historically women’s college,” her statement said. Mills College began as a religious school in 1852 and moved in 1871 to its current location on 135 lushly landscaped acres. It kept its tradition of having a women-only undergraduate student body, although it admitted men to graduate programs. In 1990, Mills leaders proposed to start admitting undergraduate men as a solution Mills rescinded that attempt and undergraduate men were never enrolled after an uproar among alumnae and a twoweek-long student strike. Enrollment of Mills has declined more recently, falling 14% from 1,122 in fall 2019 to 961 in fall 2020. Northeastern enrolls about 19,000 undergraduates and 8,600 graduate students. It is unclear how the announcement would affect its existing programs in Silicon Valley and San Francisco, where it offers graduate programs in computer science and biotechnology
and a semester in the West for undergraduate internships. The university is known for its so-called cooperative form of education, which combines on-the-job experience and internships with classroom learning. In March, Mills said it would stop enrolling new undergraduates after fall 2021 and that it would “most likely” grant its last degrees of any sort in 2023. That triggered protests from alumni and students who contended the value of campus land could help the college survive. Three months later, Mills’ governing board clearly has had second thoughts about totally shutting down. It was not revealed on June 17 whether Northeastern reached out to around or whether mergers with other universities were examined as well. Also undisincluding the fate of Mills’ endowment, which was reported to be about $190 million last year. Soon after the March announcement about Mills closing, UC Berkeley said it would rent dorms and classroom space at Mills next fall. UC Berkeley, just nine miles away and crunched for space, announced plans for 200 freshman to live on Mills’ Oakland campus and take many of their introductory classes there. That plan for UC to expand into Mills now appears to be dead. “While we have worked collaboratively over many decades with UC Berkeley, we have been unable to establish a public/private partnership Continued on page 8

“I celebrated Juneteenth carrying out the mission of Hey Carter! Books (HCB) in San Jose. The African American Community Service Agency held their 40th Annual Juneteenth Celebration at the San Jose Fairgrounds. HCB is committed to increasing representation for Black and Brown children and I had a great time connecting with the community and celebrating our history. It was such an amazing feeling to connect with families that I haven’t seen since the 2019 celebration.” says, Dr. Thomishia Booker, CEO of Hey Carter! Books

Legislative Black Caucus Celebrates Juneteenth By Antonio Ray Harvey, California Black Media and Post News Staff
The California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC) continued last week’s celebration of Juneteenth, America’s newest federal holiday, with the since the state reopened on June 15 -- and since the COVID-19 shelter-in-place order took effect in March 2020. Billed as “CLBC Juneteenth Black Family History Event,” the commemoration focused on Black miners and the integral role they played during the California Gold Rush era of the 1850s. Family members of the miners, serving as historical experts, assisted CLBC members and research staff with information for the celebration. The event was held at the Constitution Wall Courtyard in in Sacramento where CaliforState Shirley Weber made her facility since she was sworn in to serve in that role. Weber, whose parents were sharecroppers in Hope, Ark., shared that there is “another side of California” that should be historically told in full con-
text. “We think of California as a free state yet there are many examples that took place where people were brought to California as slaves and were made to stay in California as slaves,” Weber said. “And then, when there was opportunity for them to stay in California, they wanted to remain. But the government and others decided that they would pass the Fugitive Slave Act. So, if you came here (as an enslaved person) you were sent back to Mississippi or Alabama. So, it becomes important when we talk about reparations that we have a full picture of California and what took place here.” Much like the story of Juneteenth, the California Black miners’ experience is largely excluded from texts and research. But one of those stories of servitude was told by the event’s keynote speaker Jonathan Burgess from the California African American Gold Rush Historical Association. He talked about how his Black family’s land was taken from them. He also said that the “true history” of California has not been fully explained and, to him, it is a “miscarriage of justice to teach our kids incorrect history.” “My goal is to educate and

But they cautioned Americans of all backgrounds to resist the

They embrace them,” the pdresident said, celebrating the bill’s passage and marking the end of slavery and honoring African American history. State Senator Brian Dahle said, “We should not be afraid of learning about our history. The more truth we bring to light, the better we are at making decisions as we take on the challenges of our time. Events like this are a positive way to move forward together”. Genealogists and members of the Sacramento African American Genealogical Society welcomed Black legislators and staff and set up laptop com-
path to their ancestors. Black history resources were provided by FamilySearch Internasponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Millions of formerly hidden records have been made available for free by the Church as a tool to help the world understand that all people are connected as brothers and sisters of God. Mixed Reactions to Juneteenth Holiday Other Black leaders took to social media, group chats and in-person discussions to both celebrate and “crack” on the Biden’s decision to make Juneteenth a federal holiday. Some complained that while the symbolism of the holiday is important, substantial current issues such as voting rights, police violence, adding Black History to the educational curriculum, and reparations needed to be included in the legislation.

Sha’Carri Richardson Bolts Into Black LGBTQ+ Leaders and History and into Tokyo Olympics Allies Applaud 3 California Bills By California Black Media June is Pride Month and lawmakers in California are advancing a number of bills to make life who are LGBTQ+. Some of the proposed laws aim to address challenges that impact various segments of the African American LGBTQ+ community -- either directly or circumstantially.
Sha’Carri Richardson’s victory came in just 10.86 seconds – amazingly, it was an eye-lash
By Stacy M. Brown, NNPA Newswire Senior National Correspondent @StacyBrownMedia
With lightning-like quickness and a will to dominate, Sha’Carri Richardson is on her way to the Olympics in Tokyo. The 21-year-old native of Dallas, Texas, won the women’s Olympic Track and Field Trials. Richardson’s victory came in just 10.86 seconds – amazingly, it was an eye-lash slower than her head-spinning performance 10.64 seconds.
Many are comparing the star to greats like Florence Richardson has remained humble, and she credits her grandmother, Betty Harp, for much of her success. “My grandmother is my heart, my superwoman,” Richardson told Runners World. “To have her here at the biggest meet of my life, it’s just amazing. That probably felt better than winning the races, just being able to hold her after becoming an Olympian.” Already turning heads in and around the sport, Richardson further raised eyebrows when she dominated the U.S. Olympic
Track and Field Team Trials in Eugene, Ore. Jumping out to a fast start, Richardson appeared to purposely slow down toward the end of the race and point toward the clock, which registered her dramatic timing. “Nobody knows what I go through,” Richardson said in a post-race interview with ABC. “Everybody has struggles, and I understand that. But y’all see me on this track, and y’all see the poker face I put on. But nobody but [my family] and my coach know what I go through… and I’m highly grateful to them. Without them, there would be no me.”

357. If the Legislature approves it, the law will repeal California Penal Code Section 653.22, which penalizes loitering with the intent to engage in sex work. This particular bill, if approved, reduce the risks and dangers many LGBTQ+ people at the lowest ends of the socioeconomic ladder face. Many of them are young people who turn to sex work because of a number of reasons, including being unsupported by their families or the social structure because of their sexuality; trauma brought about by sexual or physical abuse; drug addiction; unemployment, among other factors. Based on English Elizabethan “poor laws,” loitering laws in America were developed as a part of the Black Codes in the late 1800s as a means to arrest Black people in order to sell their labor in a practice called convict leasing. “These laws were created to eradicate us,” said Dr. Jon Paul Higgins, a California-based social justice advocate and writer who is African American. “So, when you talk about the importance of repealing these laws, it’s not even just about the law, it’s about getting to the root of what’s creating these laws,” Higgins explained. According to the Centers for Disease Control, “many persons who exchange sex may have a history of homelessness, unemployment, incarceration, mental health issues, violence, emotional/physical/sexual abuse, and drug use.” In California – and across the United States -- a disproportionate number of African Americans are impacted by those challenges -- all of them considered social determinants of good health by Public Health professionals. Because of the vagueness of these loitering laws, many critics have noted that they gave police a wide range of arresting powers to target “undesirables” like Black people and people in the LGBTQ+ community, Higgins explained. California State Senator Scott thor of this bill, says it would help make the streets safer for sex workers who are a part of a marginalized community. “Sex workers are workers, and they deserve respect and safety,” Wiener said. “We must work toward a future where people — especially the most marginalized — aren’t criminalized because of who they are and what they look like. Anti-
Jasmyne A. Cannick Jon Paul Higgins
sex workers loitering laws are deeply pernicious, and they need to be repealed.” SB 357 also allows those convicted of California Penal Code Section 653.22 to seal their records. SB 357 was passed by the Senate Public Safety Committee 4-1 and has now been referred to the Assembly Appropriations Committee. Another bill concerned with 1094, which would require the State Department of Public Health to establish a three-year pilot program in up to six participating counties to collect gender identity and sexual orientation data in violent death cases to get more accurate counts about hate crimes. According to the Los Angeles County Commission on Human Relations 2019 Hate Crime Report, Black people accounted for 9% of the county’s population but 47% of the total racial hate crimes. The report also stated that 2019 saw a 64% increase in hate crimes targeting trans people, many of whom were Black or Brown, according to the Human Rights Campaign. “Yet another year with alarming levels of bias-motivated crimes underscores just how urgent it is to address this hate crimes epidemic,” said Alphonso David, Human Rights Campaign president. David to lead the organization, the largest advocacy body for LGBTQ+ people and issues in the United States. “This year, we saw a tragic new record of fatal violence against transgender and gender non-conforming people in this country, particularly against Black and Brown transgender women,” he said. Following the Stonewall riots in New York, Black trans women like Marsha P. Johnson
the time when discrimination and hate crimes against people like them were much more commonplace. Assemblymember Joaquin of AB 1094, explained why he feels the bill is crucial. “I deeply appreciate the overwhelming support that my Assembly colleagues gave today to AB 1094,” Arambula said in a statement. “This legislation may be centered on data, but its purpose encompasses compassion and empathy to better understand what is happening in our LGTBQ+ community — particularly among
the youth — when it comes to violent deaths, including homicide and suicide. AB 1094 is an important and humane step in ultimately preventing these deaths.” AB 1094 has passed in the Assembly and is now on its way to the State Senate for consideration. has now been referred to the Senate Appropriations Committee, would ensure the University of California Health System [UC Health] only contracts with healthcare facilities that provide LGBTQ-inclusive healthcare services, such as tive care. According to Blue Cross Blue Shield, Black mothers’ maternal mortality rate is 63% higher than white mothers while Black men are 70% more likely to die from a stroke as compared to non-Hispanic White men. People in the LGBTQ+ community are less likely to have access to competent healthcare, largely due to issues with discrimination, according to Cigna. Higgins spoke from personal experience about the intersectional nature of being both Black and in the LGBTQ+ community. “For me, being a Black nonbinary person and meeting a provider who has all of these bias ideologies or stereotypes about Black people… there are all of these preconceived notions about who I am as a Black person and then you add on the nonbinary-slash-trans part of it, there’s just a lot of underlying stereotypes and bias,” Higgins said. Jasmyne Cannick, founder and CEO of Empowerment Justice Strategies, praised this bill for moving with the tides of progress. “In 2021, it makes absolute sense for UC Health to contract with healthcare facilities that provide LGBTQ-inclusive healthcare services given the population that it serves,” Cannick said. “We are moving towards a more inclusive society, and these are the types of bills that will ensure that members of the LGBTQ+ community can receive healthcare they need,” she continued. Higgins, Cannick and other advocates say it means a great deal that California lawmakers are making an effort to ensure that these “warriors” can continue to do so safely, and that those who just wish to live their lives without fear for being who they are may do so more boldly.

Say Their Names in the Streets, Online to Achieve Justice By Rev. Reginald Bachus
The Black experience in America has always been a story of struggle. From the plantation to the project block, from Emmett Till to Ahmaud Arbery, and from Tulsa, Okla., to Minneapolis, Minn., we have constantly fought for equality and fair treatment under the law, only to have those same laws be used against us. The past year has been particularly challenging -- with the names of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and others becoming indelibly etched into our collective memory and millions of people taking to the streets to protest these crimes against the Black community. As we prepare to celebrate Juneteenth, we must look back on all the events of the past year with clear eyes to examine both the tragedies and triumphs our community has witnessed. There have been moments ly edging toward equality, like the recent conviction of forDerek Chauvin for murdering George Floyd by kneeling on his neck for nine minutes while Floyd called out “I can’t breathe.” Chauvin’s conviction and sentencing marks one of the few times in the painful history of Black people in America when law enforcement was held accountable for the wanton acts of violence they perpetrate against our community. But for every conviction like Chauvin’s, there is a long, tragic history of innocent Black men and women being murdered – their deaths generating little more than a passing mention on the local news and their killers going unpunished. From Medgar Evers to Breonna Taylor, our country’s

justices that the powers-at-be try to sweep under the rug. Floyd’s death, which was captured in brutal clarity on a bystander’s cellphone, along with those of Arbery, Taylor and so many more challenged the status quo of racial injustice like never before. Millions of Americans of every race, color and creed stood up, spoke out and made Black Lives Matter the largest social movement in country’s history. Starting last summer, “Say Their Names” became a rallying cry for millions of Americans across the country tired of police brutality and racial injustice. From Minneapolis to Manhattan, Atlanta to Los Angeles, we took to the streets of America’s biggest cities and smallest towns under a blazing summer sun to voice our anger. All races, colors, and creeds marched on Wash., D.C. to let leaders know that it was time racism and to declare that we would remember who was guilty. We will continue to organize. We will continue to march. We will continue to “say their names” until their justice – not just for Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery, but for every Black and Brown
person in America who has experienced systemic racism, police brutality and political indifference to these injustices. While our voices were seen on television sets and computer screens across the world, and we applaud the tireless work on the ground of leaders like Rev. Al Sharpton and National Action Network, our voices were also heard through our online activism – which for many was the only way to speak out during the COVID-19 pandemic – as we demanded politicians take notice and take action at both the state and local level. A new report released ear-

OPD Chief Armstrong Speaks on Juneteenth Shooting Death in Oakland By Kiki Oakland Police Department Chief LeRonne Armstrong held a press conference Monday about the shooting death of a 22-year-old San Francisco man at Lake Merritt on Saturday, June 19. “. . . We don’t believe this was a random shooting,” he said. “. . . We believe this was directly related to group and gang violence not related to the city of Oakland,” but instead appeared to be related to the city of San Francisco. OPD is working with the San Francisco Police Department and Armstrong announced that they have made a couple of key arrests. Armstrong also talked about the shootings of eight other females -- ranging in age from 16 to mid-60s. He added that there are too many guns in the city of Oakland and too many people willing to use them during events.
Chief LeRonne Armstrong
In a recap, he said that there were approximately 10,000 people around the entire lake on Juneteenth. About 5,000 people were around 2200 Lakeshore at 6:22 p.m. where the shooting occurred. signed to the multiple events at the lake and additional sideshow brought the detail to over two helicopters.

It’s also a manifestation of what we want to highlight, which is, while the economy in the macro is recovering from a GDP perspective in the aggregate, we don’t live in the aggregate. There are people who have been disproportionately impacted. “I want to make a point that we have your back, we want to be there for you when the lights turn off (and) the cameras go away. When we turn the page (on the pandemic), we want to make sure we’re there for the mediumand long-term so everyone’s back on their feet.” Post: “ I heard you speak earlier about not only helping the businesses that have been struggling, but what about the businesses that have gone out of business. What are your plans for them now that we have reopened?” Newsom: “We’re working on lars in grants that allow people to utilize the training dollars to make entrepreneurial investments, meaning to actually use the money in a way where they can start up their business again. “We’re trying to be very creative. . ..

And that’s now currently with the Legislature. In addition, we’re waiving fees for new startups. We are providing opportunities in terms of loans and grants and credits. “We have a new credit capacity of close to a billion dollars…. We’re doing micro loans, not grants, for those that have no access to credit or traditional banking institutions. We call it the California Dream fund, emphasis on ‘dream,’ because it also doesn’t regard your immigration status. “We’re writing these micro loans and grants across the spectrum for that subset of our entrepreneur population. We’re trying across all these spectrums to create more support. “We have all these regional Small Business Centers, 86 of them that are fully staffed, fully

And I want to highlight what I think is really one of the most under-expressed and under-communicated stories in America, like innovation, like entrepreneurship. “Black excellence (exists) across all spectrums, it’s not just about criminal justice reform, it’s not just about police. There are other things we need to include in that conversation without neglecting our responsibilities to solve those issues. “ Post: “And what importance does the Black press have in all that?” Newsom: “I’ve been so inspired by how Black press perseveres. Talk about resiliency. We have gone to great lengths in the pandemic to support Black press in terms of our COVID efforts, testing efforts or vaccination efforts.
