Council May Address Racial Discrimination Highlighted in New Race and Gender Disparity Study By Ken Epstein

Black people make up 25% of Oakland’s population. Women make up approximately 50%. That means that all of the statistics below should be 25% or above for Black businesses and 50% for womenowned businesses. Instead,

this is what we see. • In construction prime contracts in the period from 2011 to 2016, African Americans earned a total of 2.07% of the contracts and a total of 1.13% of the money. • Women-owned businesses Continued on Page 12

Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf challenged the decision of Alameda County D.A. Nancy O’Malley not to charge former BART police officer Anthony Pirone with felony murder of Oscar Grant on Jan. 1, 2009. On Martin Luther King Day, Schaaf sent an open letter to O’Malley declaring: “As the country celebrates the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I send this to you in the spirit of Dr. King’s admonition that, ‘There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right.’” Schaaf unequivocally stated: “I have concluded that I must join the growing co-

alition to urge you to bring charges against former BART police officer Anthony Pirone. I believe, beyond a reasonable doubt, that he committed a felony murder in the case of Oscar Grant.” Schaaf’s letter cited both facts and law as the bases for her conclusion. Citing the independent in-

vestigative report by the law firm of Meyers Nave, Schaaf’s public letter says: “Calling Oscar a ‘bitch-ass nigger,’ Pirone pushed Grant down and put both knees on Oscar’s back and/or head, then ‘struck Grant in the face with his left knee.’” Then, “This

A documentary film focusing on students, their families and staff members in the Oakland Unified School District is scheduled to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, which is being held virtually later this month. Director Peter Nicks began shooting the film, “Homeroom,” in 2019 to profile the day-to-day lives of those within the school district, particularly those at Oakland High School and the district’s All City Council Student Union. The filming schedule during the 2019-2020 school year was

interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic, moving classes online, as well as the death of George Floyd last summer and the resulting protests against racism and police brutality. The film is Nicks’ third look at Oakland. His previous films, “The Waiting Room” and “The Force,” focused on Highland Hospital and the Oakland Police Department, respectively. “Homeroom” is scheduled to premiere at 9 a.m., Friday, Jan. 29, with a second screening on Sunday, Jan. 31. Tickets can be purchased at https://festival.sundance.org/. The film is also expected to screen at the San Francisco Film Festival in April.

State Launches Website for School Staff, Parents to Report COVID-19-Related Health Concerns By Eli Walsh Bay City News Foundation

State officials have launched an online hub intended for school staff and parents to find guidance and resources on the state’s planned resumption of in-person classes, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Thursday. The website, schools.covid19.ca.gov, allows school staff and parents to report coronavirus-related health and safety concerns and access resources about the state’s education-related public health directives and on-campus coronavirus testing.

Gov. Gavin Newsom

“Learning is non-negotiable, and getting our kids and staff back into the classroom safely will help us continue turning the corner on this pan-

demic,” Newsom said in a statement. The website will accompany the state’s $2 billion Safe Schools for All plan, which Newsom outlined in December and will focus on reopening schools in February for students in transitional kindergarten through second grade and progressing into higher grades later into the spring. The funding will support testing of school staff and students, personal protective equipment, contact tracing and vaccinations. Newsom, in unveiling his proposed state budget last week, asked the state legislature to preemptively allocate the $2 billion before the end of the month to ensure the reopening plan proceeds smoothly. Many schools across the state have resumed in-person classes in recent months in some form or for certain groups like special needs students. The state allowed schools to resume in-person classes once their county had been out of the purple tier - the most restrictive Continued on page 8 Jackie Ormes: The Radical Cartoonist Page 2

Learning Black History Year-Round

Joseph Henry Douglass: A Groundbreaking Musical Genius By Tamara Shiloh

Nineteenthcentury black instrumentalists held a special position in America’s rural south. In the antebellum slave quarters, according to historian Paul Cimbala, “they earned status of a folk elite because of their contribution to community life.” By post Civil War times (1861–65) though, opportunities for blacks to break into the music genre as professionals began to swell in the northern cities. Joseph Henry Douglass (1871–1935), concert violinist and grandson of abolitionist Frederick Douglass, would be among the first. Little has been recorded about Douglass’ early life. Born in Washington, DC’s Anacostia area, he was the only child of Charles and Mary Elizabeth Douglass who lived to be an adult. He developed an interest in music early on, as he was influenced by his

to Disburse $500 Million in COVID-19

By Tanu Henry, California Black Media

The State of California announced that it has selected Lendistry, a Black-led-and-operated financial firm in Los Angeles, to act as the intermediary charged with disbursing $500 million in COVID-19 grants to California small businesses and non-profits. The California Office of the Small Business Advocate (CalOSBA), which operates under the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz), says small businesses and non-profit organizations across California that have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic can begin submitting applications for relief grants ranging from $5,000 to $25,000. The application process begins now and runs through Jan. 8, 2021. The governor and the Legislature first announced the program November 30. Lendistry is designated both a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) and a Community Development Entity (CDE) small business and commercial real estate

The California Association of Black Lawyers (CABL) submitted the names of three accomplished African American attorneys to the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC) as possible candidates for the state’s soon-to-be open Attorney General position. In a 46-page document that includes biographical data of the organization’s recommendations, CABL called on Black members of the state Legislature to support attorneys Diane Becton, Paul Henderson or Terry Wiley to become the next Attorney General. The group also forwarded the proposal listing the candidates they are supporting – all public servants with significant experience — to Gov. Gavin Newsom. “We are in a unique position to know, understand, and recommend one of our own members to serve as the next California Attorney General,” stated the letter dated December 23 from Melinda Murray, president of CABL. “We

strongly urge the Legislative Black Caucus to consider the above three candidates and to interview them for recommendation to Governor Newsom.” Earlier in December, President-elect Joe Biden nominated current California Attorney General Xavier Becerra to be

Secretary of Health and Human Services in his administration. Since then, various candidates have emerged as possible replacements for the state’s top lawyer and law enforcement official. Continued on Page 8

father and grandfather. Both men were amateur violinists. He was formally trained at the New England Conservatory (Boston) and later the Boston Conservatory. This influence and training would lead him to become one of the first African-American performers to be nationally and internationally renowned. It was at age 22 that Douglass received his first break as a concert violinist. He performed at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition (Chicago World’s Fair). Several black performers had joined together during the event to celebrate Colored American Day. Douglass’ groundbreaking performance drew a large

Bay Area Medical Workers Share Views on COVID-19 Vaccine

By Clifford L. Williams

Thirty-seven-year-old Angela White of Oakland didn’t even flinch when she was administered the COVID-19 vaccine. “I don’t remember when the needle was inserted in my arm after the nurse said ‘you’re done’,” said White. “It was quick and painless.” White, an Emergency Medicine physician at Oakland’s Highland Hospital since 2016, is one of the few Black doctors working in Highland’s emergency room. She took the vaccine on December 18 and is looking forward to her second vaccine shot on Jan. 9, 2021. As of this writing, White has not experienced any major side effects. “There was a small muscle in my arm that was sore for a day but aside from that, I’ve felt pretty normal,” added

To not get the vaccine would be giving up an opportunity to protect ourselves, our health, and the health and livelihood of our friends and community.” “I think using the vaccine is another way of protecting me, in addition to wearing a mask and face shield at work, I also practice social distancing.

District 1 OUSD Trustee Sam Davis. By Ken Epstein

There are high hopes in the community for a newly energized school board as four new members set to take office in January pledging to disentangle the multiple crises facing the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD), including shuttered classrooms and COVID-19 enforced distance learning, ongoing threats of austerity-driven budget cuts and state-enforced demands to close more neighborhood schools.

Time-of-Use rate plans charge different prices depending on the time of day. Time-of-Use rate plans offer lower prices for 19 hours of the day — before 4 pm and after 9 pm — when cleaner energy is more readily available. By making small changes — like turning off lights you aren’t using after 4 pm or turning on appliances like dishwashers and washing machines right before you go to bed — you can take advantage of lower energy prices while using cleaner energy.

After the exposition, Douglass, a then sought-after performer, became the first Black violinist to make transcontinental tours. He was lauded by the press as “the most talented of the race.” For three decades, he toured extensively, performing in every black educational institution and a significant number of churches. He also played in performance halls across the country to white audiences. Douglass performed for several US presidents, includContinued on page 8

Biden Administration to Focus on COVID-19, Economy, and More in First Days in Office By Brandon Patterson

Joe Biden takes the oath of office to become the 46th president of the United States with his hand on the 100+ year-old family Bible held by his wife, Dr. Jill Biden. Photos by Anthony Tilghman / NNPA and Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies.

Rev. Silvester Beaman of Bethel AME Church in Wilmington, Del., delivered the benedicdion at the inauguration.

Trump did not attend the inauguration, making him the first president in 150 years not to attend his successor’s inaugural ceremony. Trump departed from the White House for the last time Wednesday morning, heading to Florida -- a haven of Trump support -- where numerous news outlets have reported he will be living postpresidency, instead of New York City, where he lived previously. Former Vice President Mike Pence did attend the ceremony, however. Biden was sworn in by U.S.

U.S. Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman, 22, read her poem, “The Hill We Climb,” at the inauguration.

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, while Harris was sworn in by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who made history herself as the first Latinx woman to sit on the Supreme Court. Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, is also now the first “Second Gentleman” in U.S. history. Harris was accompanied into the ceremony by the official marching band for her alma mater, Howard University. She also wore peals, the signature symbol for her sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA). Biden struck a tone of recon-

ciliation in his speech, calling on the country to resist “political extremism” and “white supremacy” and to come together to address crises of COVID, the economy, racial injustice, and the climate. “Today, on this January day, my whole soul is in this: Bringing America together,” he said. “Uniting our people. And uniting our nation. I ask every American to join me in this cause.” Biden added: “For without unity, there is no peace, only bitterness and fury.

In his first days in office, Pres. Joe Biden’s administration prioritized fighting COVID-19 and responding to the economic crisis the pandemic has caused, among other issues, a transition memo released to the public ahead of the inauguration revealed. Biden will send several bills to Congress and sign a range of executive orders starting on Day One. “President-elect Biden is assuming the presidency in a moment of profound crisis for our nation. We face four overlapping and compounding crises: the COVID-19 crisis, the resulting economic crisis, the climate crisis, and a racial equity crisis,” incoming Chief of Staff Ron Klain said in the memo over the weekend. “All of these crises demand urgent action.” Biden plans to kick into high gear the federal government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, preparing to oversee 100 million COVID-19 vaccinations in its first 100 days. Biden also plans to increase the federal government’s role in vaccine distribution, which had largely been left up to the states by Pres. Donald Trump. The administration says it plans to launch federal sites for mass distribution as well as mobile vaccination sites in rural areas with less access to medical care. Under Trump, vaccine roll-out has been much slower than anticipated. The Biden administration will also push a multi-trillion dollar economic relief package to address the economic fallout from the pandemic. The package will include stimulus checks of $1,400 per person, a $400 per week federal unemployment insurance program, a minimum wage increase to $15 an hour, and billions in funding for federal nutrition programs and for child care providers. The $1,400 checks are a decrease from the $2,000 checks Biden had previously called for. Biden is also asking for $350 billions in federal funding for states, which have lost significant tax revenue during the pandemic, and $35 billion to support small businesses. Biden is also expected to tackle immigration -- a key point of conflict under Trump -- proposing a bill that would provide a pathway to citizenship for about 11 million immigrants who are undocumented. The bill would establish an eight-year path to citizenship for immigrants and fast-track the process for people in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, according to the Associated Press. Biden also plans to sign a flurry of executive orders starting on Day One. The list will include orders to: address climate change, including one to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement, one of the key achievements of the Obama Administration; reverse the Trump travel ban on Muslim-majority countries; implement a mask mandate on federal property and during interstate travel; extend the pandemic moratorium on student loan payments; and extend restrictions on evictions and foreclosures nationwide. Biden will attempt to get his agenda through Congress while also working to get his Cabinet picks confirmed by the Senate, a process that is expected to move more quickly now that Democrats control the chamber. The Senate will also be juggling an impeachment trial for former President Trump.

to Disburse $500 Million in COVID-19

By Tanu Henry, California Black Media

The State of California announced that it has selected Lendistry, a Black-led-and-operated financial firm in Los Angeles, to act as the intermediary charged with disbursing $500 million in COVID-19 grants to California small businesses and non-profits. The California Office of the Small Business Advocate (CalOSBA), which operates under the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz), says small businesses and non-profit organizations across California that have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic can begin submitting applications for relief grants ranging from $5,000 to $25,000. The application process begins now and runs through Jan. 8, 2021. The governor and the Legislature first announced the program November 30. Lendistry is designated both a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) and a Community Development Entity (CDE) small business and commercial real estate

The California Association of Black Lawyers (CABL) submitted the names of three accomplished African American attorneys to the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC) as possible candidates for the state’s soon-to-be open Attorney General position. In a 46-page document that includes biographical data of the organization’s recommendations, CABL called on Black members of the state Legislature to support attorneys Diane Becton, Paul Henderson or Terry Wiley to become the next Attorney General. The group also forwarded the proposal listing the candidates they are supporting – all public servants with significant experience — to Gov. Gavin Newsom. “We are in a unique position to know, understand, and recommend one of our own members to serve as the next California Attorney General,” stated the letter dated December 23 from Melinda Murray, president of CABL. “We

strongly urge the Legislative Black Caucus to consider the above three candidates and to interview them for recommendation to Governor Newsom.” Earlier in December, President-elect Joe Biden nominated current California Attorney General Xavier Becerra to be

Secretary of Health and Human Services in his administration. Since then, various candidates have emerged as possible replacements for the state’s top lawyer and law enforcement official. Continued on Page 8

District 1 OUSD Trustee Sam Davis. By Ken Epstein

There are high hopes in the community for a newly energized school board as four new members set to take office in January pledging to disentangle the multiple crises facing the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD), including shuttered classrooms and COVID-19 enforced distance learning, ongoing threats of austerity-driven budget cuts and state-enforced demands to close more neighborhood schools.

Thirty-seven-year-old Angela White of Oakland didn’t even flinch when she was administered the COVID-19 vaccine. “I don’t remember when the needle was inserted in my arm after the nurse said ‘you’re done’,” said White. “It was quick and painless.” White, an Emergency Medicine physician at Oakland’s Highland Hospital since 2016, is one of the few Black doctors working in Highland’s emergency room. She took the vaccine on December 18 and is looking forward to her second vaccine shot on Jan. 9, 2021. As of this writing, White has not experienced any major side effects. “There was a small muscle in my arm that was sore for a day but aside from that, I’ve felt pretty normal,” added

The board also elected to tap Kaval for a seat on the task force, which he accepted. “Hopefully we can get this going as soon as possible because it’s a great asset to our community,” Kaval said. The Alameda County Public Health Department still must approve using the Coliseum site as a vaccination center before it can begin providing doses. The task force is expected to report back to the board at its next meeting, scheduled for Feb. 19.

The State of California announced that it has selected Lendistry, a Black-led-and-operated financial firm in Los Angeles, to act as the intermediary charged with disbursing $500 million in COVID-19 grants to California small businesses and non-profits. The California Office of the Small Business Advocate (CalOSBA), which operates under the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz), says small businesses and non-profit organizations across California that have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic can begin submitting applications for relief grants ranging from $5,000 to $25,000. The application process begins now and runs through Jan. 8, 2021. The governor and the Legislature first announced the program November 30.

The California Association of Black Lawyers (CABL) submitted the names of three accomplished African American attorneys to the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC) as possible candidates for the state’s soon-to-be open Attorney General position. In a 46-page document that includes biographical data of the organization’s recommendations, CABL called on Black members of the state Legislature to support attorneys Diane Becton, Paul Henderson or Terry Wiley to become the next Attorney General. The group also forwarded the proposal listing the candidates they are supporting – all public servants with significant experience — to Gov. Gavin Newsom. “We are in a unique position to know, understand, and recommend one of our own members to serve as the next California Attorney General,” stated the letter dated December 23 from Melinda Murray, president of CABL. “We

Bay Area Medical Workers Share Views on COVID-19 Vaccine

By Clifford L. Williams

Thirty-seven-year-old Angela White of Oakland didn’t even flinch when she was administered the COVID-19 vaccine. “I don’t remember when the needle was inserted in my arm after the nurse said ‘you’re done’,” said White. “It was quick and painless.” White, an Emergency Medicine physician at Oakland’s Highland Hospital since 2016, is one of the few Black doctors working in Highland’s emergency room. She took the vaccine on December 18 and is looking forward to her second vaccine shot on Jan. 9, 2021. As of this writing, White has not experienced any major side effects. “There was a small muscle in my arm that was sore for a day but aside from that, I’ve felt pretty normal,” added

study on any particular group,” said White. “I think it is critically important for our community to take the vaccine. We’re essential workers who are more likely to be impacted by COVID-19. To not get the vaccine would be giving up an opportunity to protect ourselves, our health, and the health and livelihood of our friends and community.” “I think using the vaccine is another way of protecting me, in addition to wearing a mask and face shield at work, I also practice social distancing. It’s just one more step that’s going Angela White (seated) receives a vaccine shot from Adrian to make me, my family and my Cabrera, RN of Alameda Health System’s Employee Health community safer, and I highly recommend people take the Department.

By Keith Burbank Bay City News Service

An Oakland-based chef is helping to celebrate Kamala Harris’s inauguration by dishing up one of her favorite foods, seafood gumbo, many years after they were taught by the same teacher. Chef Robert Dorsey and Harris were both taught in different years by first-grade teacher, the late Frances Wilson, at Thousand Oaks Elementary School on Colusa Avenue in Berkeley. Harris reportedly said during her presidential primary race in 2019 that Wilson instilled hope and courage in her. Dorsey was similarly influenced by Wilson. Democracy Gumbo is what he calls his Inauguration Day tribute to Harris. “Gumbo is just a dish that brings everyone together,” Dorsey said. It warms and heals the soul, Dorsey added, something needed after the last few weeks and last few years. The dish less affectionately called bayou shrimp and sausage gumbo includes Louisiana love, sweet peppers, blackened chicken, jalapeno, hot-links, sweet shrimp, and okra and comes with jasmine rice that can be steamed at home. The entree also comes with pan fried crabcake, Cajun remoulade, organic coastal greens, banana raisin bread pudding and Bourbon caramel. The price is $46 per person in honor of Biden who will be the 46th president of the U.S. Dorsey called Wilson one of the most influential persons in his life. She “gave me hope,” he said, “and a vision for how my

Trials Still Ongoing Before Approval of COVID Vaccines for Children By Tanu Henry, California Black Media

Pfizer and Moderna, two of the major pharmaceutical companies leading the production of COVID-19 vaccines, are taking steps to make sure their treatments are safe for children. As of now, though, neither vaccine has been approved for children under 16 years old to receive. “The trials in children are now only beginning. We are discovering what the appropriate doses are for adolescents and perhaps even infants,” said Dr. William Schaffner, who is professor of Preventive Medicine in the Department of Health Policy as well as Professor of Medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, Tenn. “We expect the results of those trials this summer, everything going well,” he said. Pfizer says its vaccine is already safe for children between16 and 18 years old. Now, the company has begun phased testing on children between 12 and 16 in California and across the country. Their intention is to follow with trials on kids 12 and under. Moderna is in the process of recruiting children between the ages of 12 and 17 to participate in its vaccine trials across the country. Stéphane Bancel, chief executive officer of Moderna, said his company’s goal is to Continued on page 11

As of November, schools 41 counties were holding inperson classes to some extent, according to Newsom, while schools in the remaining 17 were mostly holding classes online. “With proposed new funding and ongoing conversations with districts, school employ-

cordings, unfortunately, were never released. Douglass was also an educator and conductor, holding tenured positions at Howard University in Washington, DC, and the Colored Music Settlement School in New York City. Among his students was Clarence Cameron White, an African-American neoromantic composer and concert violinist. Douglass was married to Fannie Howard Douglass, who was a musician as well. She often accompanied her husband’s

performances on the piano. The couple had two children, Blanche and Frederick III. On Douglass’ death in 1935, Fannie donated his violin, a copy of the German Stradivarius, to the US Department of the Interior.

life could play out.” Wilson gave Dorsey his first white-table experience, which was as a child at a restaurant in Jack London Square . “It was a beautiful thing,” he said. Dorsey’s mother died when he was young, and his childhood was challenging. He said he was in a situation that was very bleak. “Ms. Wilson, in a sense, gave me a way out,” Dorsey said. “She said I was someone.”

Part of the mission of his company Robert Dorsey Catering and Events is to be helpful to others who are facing a similar childhood.

He appeared at the Grand Military Concert sponsored by the US Marine Band in Washington to commemorate the presidential inauguration of Grover Cleveland. For family members, he often played slave spirituals that he learned as a child.

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.

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 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http:// www.qualityloan.com, using the 50 file number 75 assigned 90 to this 100 foreclosure by the Trustee: CA19-867349-RY.

LEGALS time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE 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 916-9390772, or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA19-867349-RY 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.

Third, you must submit a bid 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein.

If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

California’s New Master Plan for Aging Keeps an Eye on Equity McCoy Wade recounted how her agency worked to get resources to seniors during the COVID-19 pandemic. She reported that since the pandemic started, tens of thousands of seniors received meals and called the agency’s helplines. She also mentioned the state’s ongoing Check-In Campaign, which calls on Californians to check in with the older adults in their lives during the pandemic. “We hope all of those re-

The plan includes goals and initiatives that state and local governments will undertake to make the state more age-anddisability friendly.
