Coliseum Dream Development Group Proposes to Rebuild on Coliseum Site Will the Oakland City Council Consider any new proposals?

By Post Staff

The Oakland Post this week received the following media release from Elaine Brown, former Black Panther Party leader and CEO of Oakland & the World Enterprises (OAW), who has teamed up with master developer McCormack Baron Salazar (MBS) to create The Coliseum Dream development project. Highlights of the Dream project are: readiness to purchase the city’s 50% interest; positive discussions with the Oakland A’s; installation of Black Panther Studios as development anchor, which will be the first Black-owned

film studio on the West Coast; ability to finance the entire development, estimated at $5 billion; building of hundreds

of affordable housing units; development of a luxury hotel and department store; creating and supporting youth tech, arts

and business training centers; construction of a supermarket in a food desert; making Oakland a tourist destination. Vince Bennett, president and CEO of MBS, a multi-billion-dollar housing developer based in St. Louis, said: “MBS is ready to immediately enter into a purchase and sale agreement with the City of Oakland and become the master developer of the entire site.” The Coliseum Dream Development Group (CDDG) recognizes the impossibility of developing the Coliseum site solely by purchasing the city’s 50% interest.

A’s Owner John Fisher Port Proposal No Good for Oakland By Kitty KellyEpstein

Billionaire John Fisher, owner of the A’s, has things to do before he can take over Oakland’s public port property to build malls and housing for the rich. It is such a bad idea and the costs to the public are so ridiculous that logically it shouldn’t happen. But this right-wing, Trump-supporting Republican has a boatload of money and a few corporation-oriented politicians to help him push it through So, Oaklanders need to be active, or he might get it. Here are two of the things we need to act on: 1. Fisher won’t spend his own money. So, he wants Alameda County to give up spending on things like the COVID-19 pandemic, so we residents can pay for his project with taxpayer money. The vote on this will come up to the Board of Supervisors on Oc-

Opinion

tober 26. If you’d prefer that the County fund health care, housing and other resident necessities, ask them to vote “No.” Call your supervisor at 510-208-4949 and/or attend the meeting. 2. The Oakland City Council will make the ultimate decision about Fisher’s project and there are a zillion reasons they should say “No.” Among them: a) Fisher’s project requires that thousands of people run across the tracks of a busy railroad, which killed a number of people even before there were big crowds needing to get to their condos or a stadium b) And Fisher’s project would wreck Oakland’s Port. The “Seaport Compatibility Measures” necessary to keep the Port alive would cost hundreds of millions of dollars which would not be needed if it were not for Fisher’s project. So, Fisher, not taxpayers, should Continued on Page 10

When the A’s Moved to Oakland, They Ripened into World Champions, Now Some Wonder If They Are Rotten to This City Opinion

By Paul Cobb, Publisher, Post News Group

The Oakland Coliseum is imper-

iled. The last of the three Oakland-based professional sports teams to play at the Coliseum, the Oakland A’s, is heading for the exit. The A’s have demanded that Oakland pave the way to build a new waterfront stadium at Howard Terminal, or they will follow the Raiders and the Warriors out of town. Construction was completed on the state-of-the-art Oakland Coliseum in 1966. The Raiders were the first team to play at the Coliseum in 1966. The A’s relocated from Kansas City to Oakland in 1968. Despite numerous attempts to leave the city throughout the years, the A’s have remained in Oakland until now. Oakland has been lucky for the A’s. Fans cheered them to victory in three consecutive World Series in the 1970s and stood by their side through many less than stellar years more recently. The Oakland Coliseum and its companion Oakland Arena

Activists for social justice are often unsung heroes. To help remedy that, the John George Democratic Club will virtually hold its Eighth Biennial Social Justice Awards ceremony on Saturday October 16 at 3 p.m. to recognize local social justice activists. The tireless work for racial and economic justice by the late Alameda County Supervisor John George stands as a model for elected officials. The John George Democratic Club strives to keep George’s spirit alive by getting progressive candidates elected to posts in Oakland. The keynote speech will be delivered by newly elected State Assemblymember Mia Bonta, on the topic “Advancing Democracy for the 2022 Election and Beyond.” Clearly, reactionary forces on the right are attempting to undermine voting

John George rights and overthrow democracy itself, so all progressives need to mobilize to defeat this attack. This year the Club will honor Pamela George, daughter of John George, who was the first African American elected to the Alameda Board of Supervisors Continued on Page 10

have been the site of many jubilant celebrations throughout the years. But now, many Oakland residents question whether corporate greed will drive the team away from the loyal fans who have supported them in good and bad times. The A’s threaten that they will leave unless they are given public funds that are desperately needed to fill potholes, fix playgrounds and help with a variety of services needed in East Oakland and other lowincome areas of the city. The monolithic gray structure – albeit not the most at-

Curt Flood

tractive piece of architecture today – has brought feelings of pride and victory to many an Oakland resident. But now the A’s say the Coliseum area is not fit for development.

Rickey Henderson, who lived in my neighborhood and attended school with my brother, stole our hearts and made us love going to the games with my family and friends. Not anymore. They told us that the Coliseum was unfit for the A’s and then they doubled the price of tickets. Despite its perfect location, with a BART station, proximity to the airport, easy freeway access, ample parking and space for epic tailgate parties, the A’s have publicly stated Continued on Page 10

The Madame X Academy, a SpyThemed Program for Curious Girls By Elizabeth Leslie

It’s hard to remain anonymous in a town you grew up in, but to a small number of Bay Area families, that’s the case with Madame X, the somewhat fictional headmistress of The Madame X Academy, a curated, high-end experiences program for girls 7-12 years old, that ties African-American cultural relevance to each unique, pop-up style activity. The Madame X Academy’s covert spy theme permeates all of the kids’ activities and its communication with the families. “I love spy-everything, and being part of a secret organization for girls, enables them to use their imaginations and suspend disbelief, which elevates the fun factor and makes them feel like they’re part of something special,” Madame X says excitedly. “I have several interesting ways of communicating with the kids and their parents, including, through ciphers that they must decode. But I won’t tell you anything else, or it might ruin the fun.” The philosophy behind the Madame X Academy is that to be competitive in today’s world, children need exposure to diverse experiences, so that they can think more creatively when problem-solving. “If you gain exposure to a lot of interesting, disparate ideas, skills, and experiences; you can better make connections between and among concepts, enabling you to be more innovative in how you think,” she says. “There’s also a huge social benefit to being an interesting person who has had a lot of

fascinating life experiences. “People want to know those people.” It’s also why Madame X has a spy theme, “James Bond can do anything and be anyone because he has a ‘particular set of skills’.” Madame X wants girls in the program to think expansively and to be able to move through society and the world effortlessly. In part, that’s why they offer professional etiquette classes like a Malaysian/British high tea service scheduled in October. An example of the organization’s unique offerings is a class called “Ain’t MisBEEhavin,’” a multi-sensory experience where the children learned all about bees. They were taught about pioneering African-American zoologist and behavioral scientist Charles Henry Turner, known for his groundbreaking research on honey bees while observing live bee colonies and learning about them from a professional beekeeper. The kids manually uncapped honeycombs from bee panels

and used a hand-powered extractor to harvest the honey. They also strained, bottled, labeled, and gift-wrapped honey and experienced a professional honey tasting with a flight of 10 samples from around the world. The class learned the concept behind flavor wheels and how they could apply it to describe various nuances found in the honey’s taste, flavor, and texture. In addition, the children watched a video of Madame X and the beekeeper tour the bee boxes of the bees used in the program, so they could see them in their local habitat and learn more about their “bees’ to bottle” origin story. All of the kids in the program received spy-themed activity packets related to the curriculum, their tasting notes, and bottled honey. What also makes Madame X Academy different is that it uses African-American instructors and vendors for their experiences. “I want the kids to see themselves reflected in positive role models who represent professionals across industries and occupations.” Building community is also a big part of the organization’s mission. “There are under-resourced children who lack opportunity, as well as very privileged ones, who feel socio-economic and cultural isolation. I want to bring everyone together, including their families.” Visit The Madame X Academy to register for the Saturday, Oct. 23, professional etiquette class and Malaysian/British high tea: www.madamexacademy.com.

in the 1830s. Off-roads and wooded areas were littered with prowling slave catchers who would steal and even destroy freedom papers held by freedmen. Confusing the identity of those seized allowed slave catchers to kidnap them. Once taken, they faced bondage, making it nearly impossible to regain freedom. Even if the papers were intact and the case reached the courts, judges oftentimes dismissed them as forged. The year was 1830, and Frank McWorter (1777–1854) would face these risks and deliver his family to freedom. McWorter was born in South Carolina. His owner, George McWhorter, was said to have fathered young Frank. In 1795, Frank and his owner left South Carolina for Kentucky, a place where survival was rough and help was short. Those conditions spurred enslavers to make and save all the money they could. They began to allow select slaves to earn cash by hiring themselves out to white settlers. Slave owners benefitted from this arrangement by collecting their so-called portion of the earnings. Settlers bene-

fitted by paying out lower wages. McWorter also benefitted: he bought himself (1819), and soon after, his family members out of bondage––hence the name “Free” Frank. And freedom was just the beginning of those benefits. Freedmen were entitled to a few basic rights under the U.S. Constitution. McWorter was able tongain economic security through purchasing property. Although his first lot was in Kentucky, his preference was to settle in a state where slavery was outlawed. He then bought land on the Military Tract in Illinois. It was the spring of 1831 when the McWorters began to settle on their new land: a farm nestled near a spring and running creek in Pike County, Ill. They wasted no time planting and harvesting.

By year two, they had farmed more than 80 acres. By 1835, McWorter returned to Kentucky to purchase the freedom of his son Solomon. He would continue these trips until all of his family members were free. He then bought an adjoining 80-acre tract of military land from the government. It was on a part of that land that the town New Philadelphia was developed (1836). Lots measuring 60 x120 feet were sold to both Blacks and whites. The Black population in New Philadelphia swelled. Citizens found economic opportunities, a sense of community, and some measure of security. To establish and maintain his legacy, McWorter “directed his descendants to buy the freedom of additional grandchildren and great-grandchildren after his death.” By the end of his life in 1854, McWorter had purchased the freedom of 16 enslaved individuals at a total cost of $14,000. New Philadelphia continued to attract new settlers. Its population peaked in 1865 with 160 individuals. Today, none of the original buildings remain. The land used for farming and pasture for livestock for many years is now covered with prairie grass and wildflowers.

Greenlining Institute Announces Grants to Close Oakland’s Digital Divide “The Town Link” Grants Fund Digital Inclusion/Literacy, Provide Tablets & Computers

lacked internet access, including communities of color and low-income neighborhoods. In a report released last year, the Greenlining Institute found a startling correlation between East Bay neighborhoods lacking broadband access and neighborhoods that had been redlined beginning in the 1930s. “What we’re doing here is really new, involving local community organizations that haven’t traditionally been involved in broadband work but who have strong links to the community, and using those community links to target the digital divide,” said Greenlining Institute Technology Equity Legal Counsel Vinhcent Le. “We’re proud to partner with the City of Oakland on this effort to build digital inclusion and digital literacy, make residents aware of free and affordable broadband plans and provide computers to residents who need them. You simply can’t participate in the modern economy without broadband.” Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf said, “As an incubator of innovative policy ideas and an advocate for transformative change, Greenlining exemplifies the values of an #OaklandUndivided leadership partner.

100 Oakland Small Businesses Owned by People of Color to Each Receive a $10,000 Grant from Comcast RISE Totaling $1 Million

The Comcast RISE Investment Fund will award $1 million in grants to 100 Oakland small businesses (1 to 25 employees) owned by people of color, including Black, Indigenous, Hispanic and Asian American, among others. Comcast RISE – which stands for Representation, Investment, Strength and Empowerment – has awarded marketing and technology services to 228 businesses in California so far. To help drive outreach and awareness about Comcast RISE opportunity and provide additional support and training, Comcast has also awarded a $50,000 grant to the Oakland Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce. The announcement was made October 1 during a virtu-

al press conference with Mayor of Oakland Libby Schaff; California Assemblymember Mia Bonta; Alameda County Assessor Phong La; President & CEO of the Oakland African American Chamber of Commerce Cathy Adams and owner of Mannequin Madness in Oakland and previous Comcast RISE recipient Judi Townsend. “The economic effects of the global pandemic have been felt worldwide including significant impacts here in Oakland,” said Barbara Leslie, president & CEO of the Oakland Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce. “We know that our small, local, woman-owned and people of color businesses – that are responsible for creating the beautiful tapestry we

Townsend benefited from the program twice, once with the production and placement of a TV commercial and then with a technology makeover. “The application process was much more straightforward than other grants. I encourage my fellow eligible business owners to apply for the grant and technology or marketing makeovers.” The Comcast RISE Investment Fund monetary grants are intended to help small businesses owned by people of color grow as they navigate the challenges of the pandemic.

cial fabric tomorrow and many years to come.” “Like many others, my small business was impacted by the pandemic. Thanks to the Comcast RISE program, I can reach new audiences,” said Judi Townsend, owner of Man-

nesses owned by people of color the opportunity to apply for marketing and technology services from Comcast Business and Effectv, the advertising sales division of Comcast Cable. Through Comcast RISE, the company also announced it will support 13,000 small businesses, owned by people of color, with monetary grants; a TV campaign, production of a TV commercial or consulting services from Effectv; or computer equipment, internet, voice or cybersecurity from Comcast Business by the end of 2022. Oakland is one of six cities nationwide that was selected to award a $10,000 grant to Continued on page 9

The Comcast RISE Investment Fund provides monetary grants to help small businesses owned by people of color (POC) grow as they navigate the challenges of the pandemic.

Under Shirley Weber’s Guidance, California Prop. 15 Do-Over? Measure Calling for Commercial Tax Increase Continues to Set Standard for Voting Rights By Antonio Ray Harvey California Black Media

California Secretary of State Shirley Weber has until Oct. 14 to certify the results in the gubernatorial recall election held Sept. 14. Her announcement will officially confirm that a majority of voters wanted Gavin Newsom to remain governor. While the certification process plays out, Weber and her office will continue to keep Californians informed about their voting rights with the 2022 General Election in full view, she said. A day after Newsom signed a first-in-the-nation bill that now makes vote-by-mail ballots permanent in California, Weber visited Fresno State University in the Central Valley with civil rights activist Dolores Huerta. They were there to discuss ways to make the democratic process more accessible by enfranchising more voters. Weber said steps California has taken to protect and expand voting rights are in contrast with some actions several states across the country have taken that appear to be restricting their citizens’ right to vote. “We want to open this franchise to everyone, but in the midst of all of that, I am consciously aware that your President (Joe Biden) mentioned that there is a national movement heading in a different direction than California is going,” Weber said. “That national movement is to restrict voting opportunities.” Last week, Newsom signed into law Assembly Bill (AB) 37, authored by Assemblymember Marc Berman (DMenlo Park). That law requires a vote-bymail ballot to be mailed to every registered voter in the state. He also signed a package of other legislation intended to increase voter access and strengthen integrity in California elections.

“As states across our country continue to enact undemocratic voter suppression laws, California is increasing voter access, expanding voting options, and bolstering elections integrity and transparency,” Newsom said. “Last year, we took unprecedented steps to ensure all voters had the opportunity to cast a ballot during the pandemic, and today we are making those measures permanent after record-breaking participation in the 2020 presidential election.” During the Fresno town hall that featured Weber and Huerta, panelists discussed the historical significance of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, movements in other states to revive “Jim Crow-era” voting restrictions, efforts in California and at the national level to protect and expand voting rights, and how to get more young people involved in the voting process. The co-founder of the United Farm Workers Association, Huerta, 91, is one of the most influential labor activists of the 20th century and a leader of the Chicano civil rights movement. “We do have a disconnect here,” Huerta said to the students at Fresno State University and an online audience viewing the event. “We still

have a lot of people here that are not registered to vote, and they don’t understand the importance of voting.” Former Secretary of State Alex Padilla, before he was appointed U.S. Senator, certified that a record 22, 047, 448 Californians were registered to vote before the Nov. 3 general election in 2020. “There (were) more registered voters in California than the number of people in the state of Florida,” Padilla said in October 2020. Weber told the audience that “Voters like having options for returning their ballot” whether it’s by mail, a secure dropbox, a voting center “or at a traditional polling station.” The option to mail-in votes “significantly” increases participation, she said. “The more people who participate in elections, the stronger our democracy and the more we have the assurance that elections reflect the will of the people of California,” Weber said. Berman celebrated the governor signing his bill into law, pointing out that more people vote when they have access. “We saw this in the 2020 General Election when, in the middle of a global health pandemic, we had the highest voter turnout in California since Harry Truman was president. I want to thank Gov. Newsom for signing AB 37, ensuring that every active registered voter in California will receive a ballot in the mail before every future election,” said Berman. “As other states actively look for ways to make it harder for people to vote, California is expanding access to an already safe and secure ballot,” he said.

May Appear on 2022 Ballot

By Edward Henderson California Black Media

A request for a ballot measure called the “Housing Affordability and Tax Cut Act of 2022” has been submitted to the California Attorney General’s office. If supporters of the constitutional amendment meet all requirements and collect enough signatures to qualify, the proposition could appear on the November 2022nballot. The legislation includes a call to increase property taxes on commercial real estate owners in California. Currently, commercial owners in the state pay property taxes based on the value the property when it was purchased, not the market value. It is a tax code arrangement that some critics say results in the loss of billions of dollars in revenue to the state each year. The measure, its supporters say, would create new revenue that could be used to combat the state’s housing availability and affordability crises. Among other things, the measure calls for an increase of the tax exemption for eligible California homeowners and a tax relief for renters. Stanley R. Apps, proponent of the measure, says he intends for the proposition to create a substantial property tax exemption for homeowners. The ‘Purpose and Intent’ section of the proposal states, “Since 1972, homeowners have only received a $7,000 property tax exemption, even though the median home price has grown from $28,660 to over $700,000. An increase in this exemption is long overdue. This Act will increase the exemption to $200,000.” The proposed increase would save most homeowners nearly $2,000 in taxes per year, making housing more

Section 5 of the ballot measure’s language specifically proposes that all property in the state, including commercial real estate, be taxed at a rate that is based on “fair market value.” It also calls for an annual surcharge on all property worth $5 million or more. If this measure sounds familiar, you may be thinking about Prop. 15 which appeared on last November’s ballot. The proposition also called for a commercial property increase. California voters rejected the measure. Prop. 15 was drafted in response to Prop. 13, which passed in 1978 and set the state precedent for commercial taxing rates. Critics say Prop 13 led to a 60% decrease in property tax revenue collected by local governments the year after the proposition was passed. Prop 15 would have called for owners of commercial property of a combined value of over $3 million to pay property taxes based on the current value while protecting owners of property under $3 million and owners of agricultural and residential property. Those opposed to Prop. 15 argued that most of the proposed tax burden would fall

on renters of the property instead of the owners themselves due to clauses in lease agreements. The new 2022 act has raised the value to $5 million for the adjusted taxes to take affect and also includes clauses that mandate property owners must take responsibility for the new taxes and may not pass the burden down to tenants. Although, opponents of the Housing Affordability and Tax Cut Act of 2022 make direct comparisons between it and Prop 15, one distinction is that the new initiative focuses on housing. Taxes raised from Prop 15 would have supported public education. Institutions that opposed Prop 15 are prepared to mobilize once again to fight against the new measure. In a press release from the California Business Roundtable, President Rob Lapsey said: “The voters of California already made their position on higher taxes clear last year when they defeated Prop. 15, the largest property tax increase in California history. Today, all Californians continue to pay the highest cost of living while businesses are struggling with a sluggish recovery, a crippling labor shortage and a new tax increase to pay off the massive state-created debt in the Unemployment Insurance Fund. “While California needs housing reforms to increase supply and improve affordability, a huge tax increase on homeowners, small business owners and renters is not a solution. We are ready to mobilize our broad coalition to once again defeat this measure in 2022.”

LA Mayoral Race: Black Women Leaders Promise to ‘Provide Cover’ for Rep. Karen Bass By Tanu Henry California Black Media

Last week, Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA-37) announced she will run to become the first woman mayor of Los Angeles – and the second African American to serve as CEO of California’s largest city. A few days later, an influential group of about 45 civic, political, academic, and business leaders called the California Black Women Collective joined hands on a Zoom call for what the meeting’s host Kellie Todd Griffin called “a party” to support the mayoral candidacy of the sitting, six-term U.S. Congresswoman. Griffin, Senior Vice President of Communications and External Affairs at the California Health Medical Reserve Corps, is a Los Angeles area-based organizer and entrepreneur known in California’s political circles for her

outspoken advocacy for African American issues. “It will be a victory. We are claiming it right now,” said Dezie Woods-Jones, backing Bass’s mayoral run. WoodsJones, a Bay Area political strategist, is president of Black Women Organized for Political Action (BWOPA), the oldest African American political organization in the state. “I am really proud of Black women who always make a difference in elections. I like to come back and remind us that sometimes we don’t brag enough about ourselves,” Woods-Jones continued, saying that African American women are the most loyal voting bloc in Democratic electoral politics across the country. “We should not be embarrassed to say that we have been the people who have, across the board, come to the forefront and made a difference. We consistently show up and show out.”

After praising Bass for her ability to negotiate with her colleagues and build coalitions across racial, ethnic, cultural and other lines that may divide Americans, Woods Jones announced BWOPA’s official endorsement of Bass. Looking back at her experience working as Bass’ chief of staff when she was a California Assemblymember representing the 47th District in Southern California, Nolice Edwards praised Bass for her

accomplishments, including her election as Speaker of the state Assembly from 2008 to 2010. Bass said one reason she decided to run for the Assembly was the fact that there were no Black women serving in the state Legislature at the time. Edwards, who has over 30 years of state government leadership experience, is now an independent political consultant based in Sacramento. “She is strategic. She is politically savvy. She is a coalition builder,” Edwards continued, describing her former boss. “She is a founder of a community coalition where her advocacy helped to make sure that Black and Brown communities were taken care of and serviced and provided for in the right way.” Bass thanked the women on the call for their support. “It is all this energy, love and spirit that will allow me to go on this journey and the

Lots of Enjoyable Naturalist-Led Walks at East Bay Regional Parks By Ned MacKay

Autumn with its cooler weather is a great time for hiking in the regional parks and other public lands, and the park district has lots of enjoyable naturalist-led walks on the schedule. Here are some options: “Morningtide Walks” is a series of tidal marsh explorations the second Saturday of each month with naturalist Virginia Delgado. There’s a walk from 10 to 11 a.m. on Oct. 9 at Bay Point Regional Shoreline. The hike is free, but registration is required. For registration and

Bay Point Regional Shoreline information, call 888-327-2757 and select option 2. “Saturday Strolls” are another hiking series. Join a naturalist for a moderate, 3¼ -mile hike from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Oct. 9 at Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve in Oakland. There’s no

bubbling lava, but Sibley does show geologic evidence of a volcano that was active in the Oakland hills 10 million years ago. The hike is free of charge and registration is not necessary. The park entrance is on Skyline Boulevard a short distance

Not only is Greenlining Institute bridging the divide with broadband connectivity and digital literacy for communities like ours in the short term, they may very well be seeding the next generation of AAPI corporate founders,” said Gee.

Bass went on to explain some of the reasons she is running for mayor. “L.A. is in crisis,” she emphasized. “L.A. is in a crisis because we have 40,000 people living on the streets. And, if I include Compton, which is part of the county, there is 20,000 more people. That is 60,000 people who are without shelter on any given night. Unfortunately, in the city of Los Angeles, Black folks are 9 % of the population and 40 % of the people who are homeless. This is a humanitarian crisis.” Bass, who said she is driven when people are front-and-center in her policymaking, urged her colleagues to implement smarter and longer-term solutions to address stubborn issues like homelessness -- instead of opting to adopt temporary quick fixes. “It is not OK to arrest our people. That is not a solution,” Bass said. “It is not OK to get rid of the encampments and just move them into areas where the communities do not have the resources to challenge it in court. That is not OK.” Bass asked, “Why can’t we in the nation’s second largest city -- that has the wealth -- figure out how to house 40,000 people?” The women on the call also promised to back Bass with their financial support, launching a challenge to each woman to donate $50 per week for 15 weeks. “So far, in Los Angeles, this is our Tom Bradley moment,”

said Los Angeles County Supervisor Holly Mitchell, referring to the city’s first African American mayor, who was elected in 1973. “We have not had, in too many years, a Black candidate that all of us can coalesce around,” Mitchell continued. “We have to do this. This is our moment to stand up for a progressive Black woman to lead the second largest city in the country. We have to have her back and provide her cover.” So far, U.S. Reps Pete Aguilar (D-CA-31), Judy Chu (D-CA-27), Mike Levin (D-CA-49), Ted Lieu (DCA-33), Alan Lowenthal (DCA-47), Katie Porter (D-CA45), Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-CA-40) and Juan Vargas (D-CA-51) have all pledged their support for Bass. At least 30 Southern California political leaders have done the same, including Sen. Steve Bradford (D-Gardena); Sen. Sydney Kamlager (D-Los Angeles); LA County Supervisors Holly Mitchell and Sheila Kuehl; and LA City Councilmen Mike Bonin, Marqueece Harris-Dawson, Curren Price and Mark Ridley-Thomas. Before leaving the meeting early to cast votes in Congress, Bass described what her candidacy for mayor will look like. “It will be a grassroots campaign that brings the city together,” she said. “Black, Brown, White, Asian – brings everybody together. We are going to formally launch with a grassroots kickoff on Saturday, Oct. 16. Although I’m running to win, it will also be an opportunity to build a LEGALSgetting LEGALS movement: people excited, energized and inBART Stations West Bay, East San Francisco Builder’s Exchange Bay volved.” North and East Bay South Reed Construction Market Data Locations, RFP No. 6M3440.

A’s Owner John Fisher Port Manzanita SEED Community Says Teacher Consolidations Harm Students Proposal No Good for Oakland By Zack Haber

As Oakland Unified School District’s Manzanita SEED Elementary school lost a teacher on Monday to a consolidation process that placed her at another site, the school’s community is reeling from her absence, and parents and teachers are hoping the process can work differently in the future. “Kids were crying because their original teacher is leaving,” said Anne Perrone, a third-grade teacher who has worked for OUSD for over 20 years. “They’re nervous because the two months of experience they had with her and the protocols she’d set up are now up in the air.” OUSD forced a fourth-grade teacher to leave Manzanita SEED as enrollment numbers were far lower than what the district had projected for that site, while other sites, most

notably Sojourner Truth Independent Study, had far more students than the district had planned for. “Given that some of our schools and classes still don’t have permanent teachers, we have to take teachers at the schools with too few students and put them in classes at other

schools that don’t have enough teachers,” wrote John Sasaki, OUSD’s director of communications, in an email to The Oakland Post. The steps in the process of consolidation are guided by the teacher’s contract that OUSD and the teacher’s union, OEA, have agreed to. According to

the contract, when a consolidation process requires a teacher to relocate to a different school, the teacher with least seniority at an under-enrolled site is chosen to leave unless another teacher at the site volunteers to leave instead. In this instance, the process required that a fourth-grade native Spanish speaker leave Manzanita SEED, a school that offers instruction to all students in both English and Spanish. While that fourth-grade teacher asked not to be named in this article, she confirmed she was relocated to Sojourner Truth Independent Study, a OUSD school that is currently offering online learning and does not offer dual language instruction. The site has higher enrollment numbers than anticipated due to COVID. To read the full story, go to postnewsgroup.com

Former High School Administrator Files Federal “Whistleblower” Lawsuit Against School District

By Ken Epstein

Cleveland McKinney, a former assistant principal at McClymonds High School in West Oakland, has filed a lawsuit against the Oakland Unified School District, alleging that he was demoted and terminated for exercising his freedom of speech to complain about “unsafe and discriminatory school conditions, including tainted water, disproportionate suspensions of Black children, staff assaulting students, misappropriation of funds (and) sexual harassment of female students.” “I’m a whistleblower,” said McKinney in an interview with the Oakland Post. “They forced me out once I began to speak up about a lot of the injustices that were going on and how they mistreated the Black community (in West Oakland) in the same way.” Reached by the Post, the district said it does not comment on pending litigation. During the time he was facing threats of demotion and loss of his position, several hundred members of the McClymonds community attended a school board meeting to protest the retaliation against him. McKinney’s complaint was filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in December 2020 by Sonya Z. Mehta of Oakland civil rights law firm Siegel, Yee, Brunner and Mehta. The lawsuit asks for an unspecified

Cleveland McKinney

amount of money including damages for lost wages, emotional distress and pain and suffering. Depositions began in the past few weeks for the case, which is scheduled to go to trial in August 2022. In addition to the district, the complaint names McKinney’s former bosses, OUSD Executive Director of High School Instruction Vanessa Sifuentes and former McClymonds Principal Jarod Scott as defendants. Prior to facing retaliation and being terminated by OUSD, McKinney had a spotless record as a teacher and school administrator since about 1996, according to the lawsuit. McKinney was originally hired by OUSD in 2014 to help implement a 2012 Office of Civil Rights complaint against the district for “discriminatory discipline, including unwarranted suspensions, against African American students.” State statistics indicate that

in 2020-2021 McClymonds had 357 students, of whom 78% were Black. In his position at OUSD, McKinney worked with the Office of Civil Rights and the Department of Education to help create new discipline policies and train teachers how to discipline students. “McClymonds appointed McKinney the on-site administrator with school-wide responsibility for discipline as per the requirements of the 2012 agreement,” according to the lawsuit. The relationship between McKinney and his bosses began to deteriorate by Aug. 22, 2016, when he reported that water in McClymonds locker room looked “dirty and orange.” “(He) requested the water be tested because of his reasonable belief that the water was dangerous and injurious to students,” the lawsuit said. McKinney and others, including former McClymonds basketball coach Ben Tapscott, pushed for the district to conduct testing of all parts of the school, while students and teachers still used the water. Officials told school staff there was nothing wrong with the water. “They advised letting the water run for five minutes, even for the cooking water in the kitchen,” though the water was still dirty after letting it run, the complaint said. An official stated she would not spend $100,000 to fix cor-

roded pipes and that filters would be sufficient, the complaint said. McKinney also met regularly with his bosses about disproportionate discipline in violation of the 2012 Office of Civil Rights agreement. “He complained about teachers who were suspending Black students for not having pencils, asking to use the bathroom, talking, or chewing gum – and teachers who needlessly berated Black students.” He also complained about a staff member who hit students, including punching “a girl in the throat in a meeting with many witnesses.” The administration said there was no merit to the complaint. McKinney also complained about mismanagement of a $50,000 donation for student activities that was redirected to administrator salaries, a Spanish teacher who knew no Spanish, an extreme mice infestation and an afterschool program that falsely claimed it was providing services to students. He pushed administrators to refurbish the locker room. The school’s entire football team, which was African American, “had to strip down and change on the football field and leave their equipment on the field due to the abysmal condition of the locker room. Students were forced to strip in front of adults,” the complaint said. To read the full story, go to postnewsgroup.com

Coliseum Dream Development Group Proposes To Rebuild On Coliseum Site

Continued from page 1

the other 50% interest owner, the Oakland A’s, is necessary. Brown says she has discussed the site with Dave Kaval, A’s president, over the last few years, and said, “Dave has stated he loves the idea of Black Panther Studios as the anchor of CDDG’s development vision.” The problem CDDG faces is not readiness on its part but the City Council’s unwillingness to entertain proposals other than those two they handpicked in a recent closed session. In a closed session scheduled for Thursday, October 7, the Council considered the merits of its two preferred proposals, based on reports from the City Administrator. This closed session meeting arose from a vote of the Council’s Rules Committee on Thursday, September 30. In lieu of allowing Vice Mayor Rebecca Kaplan’s request to

push through a resolution at the Council’s October 19 meeting to enter into an agreement with the group she is promoting, the Council decided to consider the two proposals. It’s unclear what happens next. Brown said, “There is no process regarding the sale of the city’s interest in the Coliseum, certainly not one that is transparent.” In a statement to the Oakland Post, Brown submitted the following questions and answers: Q: Everybody talks about jobs and housing. Will your group be able to deliver on the promise in your Coliseum Dream proposal to create jobs and build affordable housing for the community? A (Elaine Brown): “Oakland & the World Enterprises (OAW), of which I am CEO, is presently co-developing a $72 Million, 79-unit, 100% affordable housing project in West Oakland with master housing

developer McCormack Baron Salazar (MBS), headed by CEO and President Vince Bennett. “This reflects my ongoing commitment to the ideal of the Black Panther Party, of which I was a leading member, of Black self-determination. The track record of MBS for building affordable housing is without parallel. Not only has MBS built thousands of affordable housing units throughout the U.S., as well as, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, MBS is currently building a $1 billion development in Dayton, Ohio, the Dayton Arcade, which includes hundreds of affordable housing units and is bringing residents, jobs, and visitors back to downtown Dayton. “Our Coliseum Dream anchor project, Black Panther Studios, alone, will create thousands of new, high-tech jobs, and we will build an affiliated tech training center to create a new generation of Black, tech-

savvy “digital carpenters” to make films and enter the tech economy at a high end. Q: Even if you are willing and able to purchase the City’s 50% interest in the Coliseum site, how can you develop the site without either purchasing the A’s 50% or partnering with the A’s? A, (Elaine Brown): “Our team is prepared to purchase the City’s 50% interest outright, today. We have not discussed purchasing the A’s 50% interest with the A’s, but, if that were an option, we would take it. We have been in discussions with Dave Kaval, A’s president, over the last two years about our Coliseum Dream, and Dave has unequivocally stated that if we were to acquire the City’s 50%, he would work with us. And, we have told Dave, we are willing to partner with the A’s.” The Dream Proposal is available here: https://bit.ly/thecoliseumdream

You can get contact information to reach your Council member here - https://www.oaklandca.gov/officials Personally, any public official who votes for Fisher’s project will never get my vote again. Call me hard-headed, but the harm to Oakland as a working-class, multi-racial city, the harm to the ILWU (the union of Port workers, perhaps the most progressive union in America) and the opposition of the people of East Oakland are enough to make my hard head think that’s what solidarity requires.

When the A’s Moved to Oakland, They Ripened into World Champions Continued from page 1

time and time again that the Coliseum is not a suitable location for the team. By stark contrast, Howard Terminal is located on prime industrial land in the heart of the Port of Oakland. There will be no access to public transportation and no space for parking. The list of hurdles that the A’s will have to jump to make this site work is long, including an extensive toxic clean-up, necessary after decades of industrial use. When I hear that the A’s refuse to rebuild at the Coliseum and want to move across town to the port so they can build luxury condos, I think they just don’t want to be near an African American neighborhood anymore. They say they are rooted in Oakland but what they are doing sounds like they are rotten for Oakland. The coliseum is an Oakland jewel and as singer Joe Tex’s song “Hold What You’ve Got” goes “you’d better hold on to what you got ’cause if you think nobody wants it, just throw it away and you will see someone will have it before you can count one, two, three” Major League Baseball has a race problem. The number of Black baseball players has declined by more than 50% and in Oakland, many of the local parks and schools that helped serve as feeder networks of ball fields to fulfill the dreams of many kids and helped produce A’s Hall of Famers like Reggie Jackson, Rickey Henderson, Vida Blue, and Dave Stewart have long dried up like raisins in the sun. It was Oaklander Curt Flood who changed sports salaries forever when he sued for athletic freedom. Now, as Blacks are displaced from baseball and neighborhoods, salaries and prices of homes have increased dramatically. Major League Baseball is aware of the problem and has pledged $150 million to a non-profit organization, Player Alliance, dedicated to attracting African American players back to baseball. The perception that the A’s don’t want to continue to play baseball in a Black neighborhood will not help that effort. Building a new ballpark at the Coliseum would be the ultimate community benefit, say many speakers who have attended public hearings, and would provide a much-needed economic boost to East Oakland. Everything they say they want to build at Howard Terminal can be built at the Coliseum. So why don’t they? It would be the ultimate Centrification move to stem the tide of economic gentrification of Oakland. This summer, the A’s leadership doubled down and gave Oakland an ultimatum: approve a new stadium at Howard Terminal and give the A’s public funds to help with related construction cost or they will leave. Ironically, the costs of their demands and the proposed usage of taxpayers’ dollars could’ve been deployed to rebuild Oakland’s rich parks and recreation history. When it comes to Oakland’s budget, the A’s want to be raiders. While many are debating the merits of teaching Critical Race Theory, I recommend Langston Hughes’s poem entitled “Harlem” -- What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore—And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over---like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. Or does it explode? A team that makes these kinds of threats is not rooted in Oakland. They could be considered rotten for Oakland.
