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.

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

The Peralta Association of African American Affairs (PAAAA) announced on Monday the passing of four Peralta Community College District African American trailblazers who carved a path of deep footprints for countless numbers of the district’s African-American students, faculty, staff, administrators, and members of the East Bay Community to follow.

They were: * Dr. Cecelia Arrington, who developed the first Black Studies program at Merritt College, who passed on Dec. 25, 2020 * Anita M.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Joe Biden was sworn in Wednesday just before noon as the 46th president of the United States, bringing to an end a tumultuous four years under Donald Trump.

Former California Senator Kamala Harris was also sworn in as vice president, making history as the first Black woman and first woman of Asian descent to hold that office. Harris, who was born in Oakland and raised in Berkeley, is also the first Bay Area native to serve as vice president.

“Today, we celebrate the triumph not of a candidate, but of a cause -- the cause of democracy,” Biden said during his inaugural address. “The will of the people has been heard and the will of the people has been heeded. We have learned again that democracy is precious.

Democracy is fragile. And at this hour, my friends, democracy has prevailed.”

Freshman Georgia Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Wornock were also sworn in Wednesday afternoon, officially giving Democrats control of the House, Senate, and White House for the first time since 2010. Democrats have a slim margin in the House and a 50-50 split with Republicans in the Senate, where Harris can cast the tie-breaking vote.

Chuck Schumer will serve as Senate majority leader and have the power to set the calendar and agenda for the Senate, whereas Mitch McConnell, who stonewalled Democratic House bills under Trump, will now be the minority leader.

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

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.

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.

Wanting to create a ‘symbol of joy,’ in memory of Breonna Taylor, Oakland sculptor Leo Carson installed a head-andneck bust of her at Latham Square on Dec. 12, 2020.

On Tuesday, the bust of the emergency services worker killed in Louisville, Ky. last March in a botched police raid was stolen after it had been found smashed to pieces on Dec. 26, 2020.

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.

This week, the Oakland Post interviews two new

Davis, who represents District 1, worked as a teacher and family outreach coordinator in Oakland schools for 10 years.

Originally from Queens, New York, he has lived in Oakland since 2001. He has a son in the 9th grade at Oakland Technical High School.

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.

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

Since then, various candidates have emerged as possible replacements for the state’s top lawyer and law enforcement official.

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.

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.

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.

Those schools were allowed to continue holding in-person classes even after the state issued its regional stay-at home order for roughly 80 percent of California’s counties.

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.

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-

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 asked what he can do to help prevent child abuse and domestic violence and whether he can partner with Harris in that work.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-939-0772 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. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid 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.

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 will absolutely address the suffering, and the gaps and the inequities that have come through so strongly during this period, and we absolutely do this work in memory of all the lives that have been lost,” said McCoy Wade.

After more than a year in development, the Newsom Administration released California’s new Master Plan for Aging on January 6.

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

$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.

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

Earlier in December, President-elect Joe Biden nominated current California Attorney General Xavier Becerra to be

Since then, various candidates have emerged as possible replacements for the state’s top lawyer and law enforcement official.

Oakland Community Condemns Mayor’s Plan to Close Fire Stations

By Post Staff

Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf and City Administrator Ed Reiskin publicly stated in December 2020 that to save money, they intend to close fire stations, significantly cutting fire and emergency medical services in Oakland.

They said they would close these stations by January 15.

Schaaf and Reiskin have not presented their intended fire station closures at any public meeting, so the Oakland community has not had an opportunity to offer its comments.

The City Council has neither approved nor voted for the closure of fire stations. Nonetheless, Schaaf and Reiskin said they plan to go ahead with these closures, significantly endangering the health and safety of Oakland residents in the middle of a devastating pandemic, according to a statement released by Councilmember Rebecca Kaplan.

“I strongly oppose the Mayor’s cut to fire services in Oakland. These cuts to Oakland’s fire stations threaten public safety, and for the Mayor and Administration to do them secretly – without public approval - violates our principles of

Oakland Firefighters

our democracy,” said Kaplan, who is vice mayor and chair of the Finance Committee.

Oakland Firefighters are not only vital to protecting Oakland from the wildfires that have become exponentially worse in recent years, Firefighters are also our first responders in medical emergencies, according to a statement from Kaplan’s office.

During this pandemic, local Firefighter Paramedics and Emergency Medical Technicians have provided essential front-line services to our community, facing great personal risk to protect the public. Time is of the essence in a fire or medical emergency. A delay of just minutes can mean the difference between life and death, the statement said.

The Oakland Fire Dept. had no part whatsoever in causing

the current budget gap. OFD was not over budget. In fact, the Fire Department came in under budget. Other city departments were a total of $32 million over budget, causing Oakland’s fiscal problem.

The mayor and city administrator are wrongfully targeting OFD to close the budget gap, putting the health and safety of Oakland residents at substantial risk, according to Kaplan’s press statement.

Community members, advocates, firefighters and council leaders have denounced these cuts and called on Schaaf and Reiskin to stop these proposed actions.

Councilmember Sheng Thao, who represents District 4, a fire-prone part of Oakland, said: “We know that high risk for wildfires is no longer restricted

to one season -- due to climate change it’s become a yearround fight. Local jurisdictions should be focused on expanding their ability to protect their residents, not cutting it.

“I understand Oakland is in a difficult position in regard to the budget, but these cuts are a danger to not only thousands of Oakland residents living in our high wildfire risk areas, but to the safety of all Oaklanders and our neighboring cities. Furthermore, it is our firefighters who are often first on the scene in any emergency, including gun violence. Cutting fire service will make us less safe.”

“Oakland’s Firefighters are committed to keeping our communities safe,” said Firefighter/ Paramedic Zac Unger “…but closing fire stations will increase response times and lead to heart-breaking incidents.

The Mayor and City Administrator must reconsider this illconceived plan to shut down vital emergency services.”

When asked in a City Council meeting if closing fire stations could be done safely, the interim chief of the Oakland Fire Department, Melinda Drayton, said “ Absolutely not.”

“The disparity study is incredibly important because it formally documents what many Oaklanders have known to be true - that Black-owned and women-owned businesses face significant structural and institutional barriers that keep them from accessing their “fair share” of City contracting opportunities,” said Councilmember Loren Taylor in an interview with the Oakland Post.

This study is also important

because it creates concrete statistics so the city can go to court to defend race-conscious strategies to address

these issues, he said.

Taylor continued: “Discrimination by race and gender are embedded in the very fabric of how we operate as an institution, whether we acknowledge it or not. Government institutions in liberal Bay Area are not immune.”

Kaiser Commits $8.15 M to Racial Equity

By Kerri Leedy

Kaiser Permanente, the nation’s largest integrated, nonprofit health system, announced on Monday that it has awarded $8.15 million to support dozens of nonprofit and community-based organizations whose programs address systemic racism and its accompanying trauma on individuals and communities of color.

These grants are part of the $25 million commitment Kaiser Permanente announced in June 2020 to promote health equity and break the cycle of racial inequities, injustices, and stresses that lead to poor health outcomes for its members and communities.

This first set of grants, awarded to 39 organizations in eight U.S. states and the District of Columbia, support established national and regional community-based organizations led by people of color, addressing racial and social justice or trauma, including the lifelong impacts of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).

In Northern California, a total of $975,000 in grants will help three community-based organizations work to end systemic racism and the resulting trauma experienced by people of color.

Yvette Radford, vice president, Kaiser Permanente Northern California External and Community Affairs.

“It is fitting that we announce these grants on the day when our nation honors Martin Luther King Jr. and his vision of a just and equitable society,” said Yvette Radford, vice president, Kaiser Permanente Northern California External and Community Affairs.

“These investments will support our community partners in organizing, advocating, and advancing policies and practices that foster racial equity and justice, healing, and the opportunity for every individual to thrive.”

The following Northern California organizations will each receive $325,000 over the next 24 months, as part of Kaiser Permanente’s $8.1 million investment: • Faith in Action Network

(PICO California): Leveraging its organizing expertise and deep connections with Black faith leaders, congregations and directly impacted communities, PICO will work to dismantle systemic racism, reconstruct public safety systems, and help heal, protect and save Black lives.

• Public Health Advocates (PHA) in Stockton: Working with youth leaders, PHA will educate students on the impact of trauma, develop a campaign to reduce mental health stigma, and create safe healing and support spaces.

PHA will work to address racist policies and practices with bi-weekly education and leadership training of youth to help them understand the relationship between public policy, trauma, and health outcomes.

• RYSE Inc.: Young people of color in Richmond and West Contra Costa will be engaged in RYSE’s leadership pipeline to build the next generation of leaders grounded in racial and social justice. They will work with adult stakeholders to help shape racially just policies and practices.

“This funding sends a message of hope to our youth that they are critical to this movement and have the power to make positive change,” said Tanice Wallace, program

manager for Public Health Advocates’ Faces of Resilience program, which will receive additional funding through Kaiser Permanente’s racial equity grants. “Our program helps young people understand the roots of structural racism, then we offer them tools and the opportunity to work toward racial equity in their communities.”

In addition, in celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, an estimated 1,700 Kaiser Permanente employees in Northern California will take part in the organization’s 17th Annual MLK Day of Service.

Due to COVID-19, all volunteering will be done safely and virtually. Projects range from making calls and writing letters to seniors and others who are isolated by the pandemic to creating blankets, masks, and wellness journals for people in need.

Kaiser Permanente Northern California is also donating a 1,000-square-foot mural to the Black Cultural Zone at Oakland’s Liberation Park where it will soon be permanently installed. Two local Oakland artists created the dynamic and colorful piece of art, which depicts images that reflect the Black community and culture.

Carole Quan, Oakland Schools’ First Asian Superintendent, 79 Carole Quan, a lifelong educator who serve as the first Asian superintendent of the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD), died of cancer on Jan. 2, 2021. She was 79.

Born on March 30, 1941, she attended Oakland schools as a child including Franklin Elementary, Roosevelt Middle and Oakland High school.

Dedicating her life to educating Oakland children, she worked as a teacher, principal and assistant superintendent before her appointment as superintendent by the district’s Board of Education.

While a teacher she worked at Rockwood Elementary School (now CUES and Futures Elementary School) and Lincoln Elementary School.

“Quan represented the community with passion and dedication,” said current Supt.

Kayla Johnson-Trammel in a statement. “She was always … there for our staff in every way and was a role model who was a pioneer Asian American education leader.”

Former OUSD principal and administrator Principal Denise Saddler called Quan an “educator’s educator.”

“She was the leader of everyone in the district and cared about all the students,” said Saddler. “No matter who you were, she made you feel like you were personally known to her.”

Quan’s mother, like her daughters Holly and Heidi, attended Oakland schools.

“I came from a strong female family, so my sister and I couldn’t have any (better) role models,” said her daughter Holly, a KCBS Radio reporter.

“Through her success, Mama … taught us tenacity and elegance while fostering intense pride in our hometown. From

the tailgate in the A’s and Raiders game to the duck on Lake Merritt, she was Oakland’s daughter to the end. “ Quan served as superintendent of the school district. 1997 to 1999. Her love of Oakland, including her solidarity and respect for the African American community and the then Black majority on the school board, put her on a collision course with Mayor Jerry Brown and State Senator Don Perata who orchestrated a campaign to push her out as part of their plan to remove the board and take over the school district.

On the day of her forced retirement, she paraded out of the district headquarters at 1025 Second Ave. with her family, friends and supportive colleagues. Defiantly, she carried a bottle of champagne that she had been given and climbed into a limousine that was waiting for her at the entrance of the building. Someone carried a boombox, which was blaring Johnny Paycheck’s famous country tune, “Take this job and shove it. I ain’t working here no more.”

Apple Launches Racial Equity and Justice Initiative Projects

Continued from page 1

“We are all accountable to the urgent work of building a more just, more equitable world — and these new projects send a clear signal of Apple’s enduring commitment,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “We’re launching REJI’s latest initiatives with partners across a broad range of industries and backgrounds — from students to teachers, developers to entrepreneurs, and community organizers to justice advocates — working together to empower communities that have borne the brunt of racism and discrimination for far too long,” Cook said. “We are honored to help bring this vision to bear, and to match our words and actions to the values of equity and inclusion we have always prized at Apple.”

REIJ was initially launched in June 2020 following protests after the killings by police of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and others.

The initiative is headed by Lisa Jackson, former EPA Administrator under President Obama and Apple’s current vice president of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives.

“Every individual deserves equal access to opportunity regardless of skin color or zip code,” said Jackson. “For too long, communities of color have faced gross injustices and institutional barriers to their pursuit of the American dream, and we are proud to lend our voices and resources to build new engines of opportunity that empower, inspire, and create meaningful change.”

Apple is supporting HBCU’s with the Propel Center which will be physically located on the campus of Atlanta University Center and working “ . . . with three dozen HBCUs, bringing coding, creativity, and career opportunities to campuses and communities across the U.S.” Scholarships will be offered via the Thurgood Marshall College Fund to “. . . 100 new Apple Scholars from underrepresented communities.”

Apple will also open the first U.S. Developer Academy in Detroit, which has over 50,000 Black-owned businesses, according the U.S. Census. This Academy is in collaboration with Michigan State University. Prior coding experience is not necessary.

In February 2021, Apple “ . . . will host the inaugural cohort of its Entrepreneur Camp for Black Founders and Developers for a virtual experience, offering one-on-one, code-level guidance from Apple experts and engineers, as well as mentorship, inspiration, and insights from top Apple leaders.”

On the venture capital front, Apple is investing $10 million with Harlem Capital, which, in turn will support 1,000 companies over the next 20 years; and $25 million with Siebert Williams Shank’s Clear Vision Impact Fund for small and mediumsized minority businesses.

And finally, Apple will contribute to The King Center. The week of the federal holiday celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., his daughter, Bernice A. King, will make a call to action for Apple’s “Challenge for Change” series “. . . a set of conversation guides and learning-based challenges on issues related to race and inequality.”
