The ongoing health crisis has brought troubling consequences to communities of color. At the center of the most vulnerable groups are children who’ve been pushed into distance learning, in some cases without internet connectivity or the proper devices at home. For those with no internet access, education can be out of reach, adding to future inequities. This is why leaders across sectors are coming together to help close the digital divide. On Thursday, at a special
event at Manzanita Recreation Center in Oakland, U.S. Olympic Gold Medalist swimmer Simone Manuel, Oakland Mayor Schaaf and the City of Oakland Parks & Recreation joined Comcast to announce plans to equip 20 Oakland community centers and parks and recreation facilities with free WiFi for the next three years. “The lack of internet access
in low-income homes adds unique challenges to families that are trying to manage distance learning. I’m pleased to partner with Comcast to bring awareness to this important issue and help close the digital divide,” said Manuel, the swimmer to win gold in an individual swimming event at Continued on Page 12

Biden Scraps Trump’s Revised Citizenship Test By Bay City News
Pictured left to right: Brenda Knight, Founder of Ladies In Red, Joanne Bland, who marched on the Edmund Pettius Bridge on Bloody Sunday, in Selma, Alabama in 1965 Alabama, Paul Cobb, Publisher of the Post News Group who also marched on the 1965 Edmund Pettis Bridge for Voting Rights and Rev. Carolyn McKinstry, is a survivor of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama.
In August 2019, Ladies In Red took an unforgettable journey for a Civil Rights Tour to Alabama. The tour included Birmingham, Montgomery and Selma. After hearing history makers from the Civil Rights movement, Ladies In Red invited them to come to California to join Paul Cobb for a MLK Luncheon for Black History Month, 2020.
Joanne Bland and Paul Cobb shared their experiences on the Edmund Pettis Bridge with Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on Bloody Sunday. Joanne Bland was a young girl and had been beaten and jailed. Paul Cobb was a young writer marching alongside of Dr. King as a reporter. Rev. Carolyn McKinstry
spoke on being a survivor of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing where four of her friends were killed. The MLK Luncheon was held at a critical time for the 2020 election. The experiences shared provided motivation that resulted in the Ladies In Red doing a “Mama Said Vote” voter registration campaign.
A revised citizenship test planned by the Trump administration did not last long. In November 2020, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced that a new test would replace the citizenship exam that had been in use since 2008. The changes to the test were seen by immigration advocates as making the test On Monday, the same agency announced that it was reverting to the 2008 test for all application after March 1, 2021. Applicants who applied after Dec. 1, 2020 and before March 1 (and therefore may have already studied for the 2020 test) are given the option of taking either test.

This shouldn’t be how we say hello ... or goodbye.
It’s our reality right now. But it won’t be if we do what it takes to beat COVID-19. Vaccines are here, but until enough of us are vaccinated, we all still need to wear our masks, stay at least six feet from others, and avoid indoor social gatherings.

California Bill Would Require State to Contract More with Black-Owned Businesses The CalAsian Chamber is joined by the California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce and the California African American Chamber of Commerce (CAACC) in co-sponsoring and supporting this landmark legislation. By Antonio Ray Harvey California Black Media
On February 17, Assemblymember David Chiu (D-San Francisco) introduced the Economic Equity First Act of 2021, also known as Assembly Bill 915. The legislation is proposing measures to ensure fair opportunities for minority-owned small businesses in state contracting and procurement. Under AB 915, all state agencies, departments, boards, and commissions would be mandated to achieve a minimum goal of 25% participation for minority businesses, which include Blackowned, women-owned and disstate procurement and contracts. “Our small businesses, particularly minority-owned small businesses, have been hit especially hard by the pandemic,” said Assemblymember David Chiu (D-San Francisco). “This bill uses the state’s enormous purchasing power to help uplift our small businesses when they need it most.” The legislation is based on the recognition that small businesses makeup 99.8% of all California private sector companies, and tion to the economy, accounting for 7 million employees across the state. Black businesses in California hire nearly 11,000 employees. Chamber of Commerce (CalAsian Chamber) worked closely this legislation, which increases access to procurement opportunities for small, minority, womenowned and disabled veteranowned businesses. The CalAsian Chamber is joined by the California Hispanic
ing data from the United States Census’Annual Business Survey. The top three states in the country that support BlackGeorgia, and New York. of the country’s businesses are Black-owned. Recent events have led to a nationwide push to support Black-owned busiout what states support a thriving environment for Black-owned Assemblymember David Chiu.

Of California’s 4.1 million small businesses, 1.2 million (29%) are minority owned. The CalAsian Chamber alone represents the voice of over 600,000 generate more than $181 billion in annual revenue. The Asian entities also employ over 910,135 Californians with an annual payroll of over $26 billion. AB 915, if it becomes law, could enhance African American businesses’ status in the state, supporters say. According to a June 2020 reSupportive States for Black Busionline career support company, reported that there are 10,287 Black-owned businesses operating in the state. They employ examined the number of Blackowned businesses per capita, us-

WE ARE ALL BETTER
TOGETHER Across the nation, the Black community is disproportionately affected by COVID-19 cases.
In California, Black residents are the 4th most affected group by COVID-19, making up 4% of all California cases. Historically known as advocates and providers, Black churches across the state are stepping up to bridge the gap between the government and free access to community-based testing. As leaders in the community, the church testing sites are exemplifying the way to properly engage the Black community in providing resources and reducing the spread of COVID-19.

Questions Answered About the COVID-19 Vaccine By Nailah Thompson, DO, MPH
greater than 55 years old. What about side effects? You may have mild to moder-
My 67-year-old mom recently called to let me know she’d VID-19 vaccine. She said it went well, but she was surprised she was the only Black or Brown person she noticed getting the vaccine. My mom isn’t the only one concerned about this. We know that Black and Brown communities are getting the virus more and are dying at higher rates than white communities, but fewer of us are getting the COVID-19 vaccine. As a primary care doctor at the Kaiser Permanente Oakland Medical Center, I get a lot of questions about the vaccines. Many people are confused bekind. I also understand our community’s history of being mistreated by the medical profession, and our ongoing health disparities can make it hard to trust the health care system. Below are some answers to questions that come up often with my patients, family and friends. The vaccines were developed quickly. Are they safe? Yes, they are safe. The vaccines were developed quickly because the new mRNA technology we hear so much about was already in the works, and because the federal government
Dr. Nailah Thompson
carefully reviewed the data from every phase of every vaccine trial. I looked carefully at the science and the data and based on that — I decided it was safe to get vaccinated. Does it alter your DNA? It does not. The COVID-19 vaccine is a new type of vaccine that uses mRNA not DNA. mRNA teaches our cells to make

not interact with or alter DNA. In fact, cells break down and get rid of mRNA after it does its job. Does it contain the COVID-19 virus? No. The COVID-19 vaccine does not contain the virus and will not give you COVID-19. Were communities of color part of the vaccine clinical trials? Yes. Vaccine trial participants were from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds, 10% African American/Black and 13-20 % Latinx. They also included
36 hours, and that’s normal. It’s a sign your body is building immunity against the virus. Some common side effects are fever, fatigue, headache, chills, muscle and joint pain. An extremely small number of people who have a prior history of allergies to vaccines have had an allergic reaction, which is why you will be monitored for 15 to 30 minutes after getting the vaccine. If you do have vaccine allergies, you should discuss the vaccine with your doctor. Whether or not you decide to get vaccinated is an important personal decision. I decided to get the vaccine because I believe it’s our best tool to end the pandemic and the suffering it’s caused in our communities. There have been challenges with getting enough vaccine supply, and Kaiser Permanente, like other health care systems, is working to get more. We’re also working to ensure we’re giving the vaccine equitably, making sure people who are at highest risk of getting infected, or dying from COVID-19, get vaccinated Dr. Nailah Thompson is an internist with The Permanente Medical Group at the Kaiser Permanente Oakland Medical Center.

State Funds Approved To Help Remedy Rise In Violence Against Asian Americans By Bay City News Service
Following an uptick in hate crimes targeting Asian Americans throughout the Bay Area, the California Legislature on Monday aping to go toward tracking cases in an effort to ultimately stop them. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic nearly a year ago, an uptick in racist and xenophobic attacks against Asian Americans have been reported throughout the Bay Area and the nation, indicating an alarming trend. Just within the last two months, several violent cases have been reported in the region, including an unprovoked attack earlier this month in San Francisco that resulted in the Ratanapakdee, a Thai American man. The new funding was secured by Assemblymember Phil Ting, D-San Francisco, who also serves as chair of the Assembly Budget Committee. The funding is part of Assembly Bill 85, a fiscal measure intended to provide

more resources as part of the state’s COVID-19 response. “The rise in hate incidents against Asian Americans during the pandemic is alarming. But we can’t solve a problem without knowing how big it is. New state funding allows the data gathering to continue, and the research will ultimately lead us to solutions that will make all communities safer,” Ting said in a statement. “The history of the Asian American Pacific Islander community in the U.S. has been punctuated by times of racism and hate including the Chinese Exclusion Act, Continued on page 11
State’s AB 5 Contractor Law Could Magnolia Street Wine Lounge Soon Become National Standard and Kitchen Thrives on San Pablo By Quinci LeGardye California Black Media
The national equivalent of California’s controversial AB 5 labor law is making its way through the United States Congress. On February 4, House and Senate Democrats re-introduced the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act as HR 842. The federal labor reform legislation calls for several provisions that would strengthen unions and protect workers and has built into it a number of similarities to AB 5, which reclassified millions of independent contractors in California as employees. In the Golden State, that legislation was significantly amended after passage with exemptions for particular classes of freelance workers. “Democrats will always fight to defend the sacred promise to protect hardworking families while safeguarding the fundamental right to join a union. America’s middle class has a union label on it, and as the Democratic Congress works with the new Biden-Harris Administration to “Build Back Better,” we will do so in a way that tilts the playing field back to American workers and their families,” said Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA-12) in a statement after the bill was introduced earlier this month. If passed, the PRO Act would implement the ABC test -- the California Supreme Court standard for classifying a worker as a contractor – in all 50 states. The ABC test requires that an independent contractor’s work is free from the control and direction of the hiring company, and outside of the usual course of the hiring company’s business. Independent contractors who fail the ABC test would be reclassified as employees for the purposes of union organizing. The legislation would also weaken right-towork laws, expand workers’ collective bargaining rights
is expected to meet less opposition. Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer (DNY), as well as Congresswomen Karen Bass (CA-37) and Barbara Lee (CA-13), are supporting the bill. Most of the emphasis for the PRO Act has been placed on union organizing, with multiple sponsors saying union organizing is the best way to bolster America’s shrinking middle class. Speaker of the House Nancy “After decades of wealthy Pelosi (D-CA-12) corporations undermining our labor laws and four years and authorize the National of the Trump AdministraLabor Relations Board to tion’s attacks on workers’ fine companies up to $50,000 rights, the PRO Act will reper labor law violation. store workers’ ability to join In California, AB 5 has together to demand their been met with heavy oppo- fair share of the economic sition by the app-based gig growth they drive.

Strolling down Oakland’s San Pablo avenue near the California Hotel, you’ll come across a storefront that has emblazoned on its plywood-covered windows the images of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and Oscar Grant, among others. Their likenesses are depicted in bright, vibrant colors, painted by an inspired artist whose artwork commands that their legacies live on. To Executive Chef Leilani Baugh, owner of Roux and Vine and the Magnolia Street Wine Lounge and Kitchen, the business where she immerses herself, creating culinary delights for her dedicated customers every weekend...at a brisk pace. Leilani named the restaurant after the street where she grew up in West Oakland. “This is my third year in the restaurant business,” said Leilani, but I’ve been cooking since I was a little girl. “My cooking career began at an early age with the help of my two grandmothers; a Chinese immigrant and a Southern housekeeper…both of whom were amazing cooks. I learned from both sides.” “My Chinese grandmother made home-style choices of food, while my Black grandmother cooked and baked for her church where she was in charge of all the meals during church events. It’s been ingrained in my earliest memories, standing at the sink with either grandmother washing greens or washing banana leaves in the bathtub. Although they prepared meals differently, I learned to take both of those worlds and swish them together.” “And that became my style of cooking today, where I’ve fused those cooking lessons and created what I call ‘Casian,’ to make really, really good soulful food. As an example, one of my customers’ favorite dishes would be garlic noodles and ginger crab with Cajon prawns on top or braised

oxtails over rice or grits…a culinary representation of both my grandmothers.” “In most restaurants you have to cook what sells and you can’t get too creative, especially during this pandemic. But I love to try and get people to eat new things. I like to create dishes that blend cultures.” “I try to prepare meals that satisfy my client’s palate, and I build my menus on their satisfaction,” noted Leilani. “Popular dishes like oxtail hash and honey-drizzled chicken, or turkey and honey garlic wings with exquisite dressings, keeps my customer coming back for more. I like to offer items that are both tantalizing and exciting to eat.” In addition to the restaurant, Leilani also operates her blossoming catering service Roux & Vine for small and large groups. “We have been catering since 2013,” said Baugh. “It’s personal, in that we will work with you to create a menu style.” Roux & Vine offers exquisite food, expert coordination and gracious service with the commitment to use locally sourced produce and the freshest ingredients in their dishes. Roux and Vine is now one of the most sought after catering companies in the Bay Area with a client list that now in-
cludes Palo Alto Medical, Alta Bates Hospital, Cal Berkeley, Clover and Impossible Foods. Chef Leilani noted that the success of her businesses is solely based on the support and honesty of her customers. “I love my customers because they’re really honest,” said Leilani. “I love how they are very supportive and love how they are critical without being hurtful.” “My customers’ ages range from millennials to 80-yearolds and they’ve all been so supportive. They want to see me succeed and see the restaurant succeed. It’s just amazing the outpour of love and support I’ve received and it’s the only way we would have been able to stay open during all of last year.” The San Pablo restaurant is currently open on weekends for outside pickup and delivery. After state restrictions are lifted for indoor dining, customers will once again be able to enjoy the ambience of the restaurant and listen to live music. “We’re working in partnership with the Oakland Conservatory of Music for future entertainment,” said Leilani. And we also are working on a lineup of various musicians to perform when we open our doors again.” “I want everybody to know Continued on page 11

Almost 56 years to the day, the daughters of Malcolm X and a noted civil rights attorney are shining a light on the martyr’s assassination in 1965 by revealing the contents of a letter from a dying New York policeman who had knowledge of the government’s hand in it. Qubiliah Shabazz, Ilyasah Shabazz, Gamilah Shabazz and attorney Ben Crump gathered last Saturday at the old Audubon Ballroom – since renamed The Shabazz Center – with lawyers Ray Hamlin and Paul Napoli and Reggie Wood, whose relative, NYPD confessed in a deathbed declaration letter. The gathering occurred in the same venue as the assassination and just one day before the heinous crime’s anniversary. The new allegations focus conspiracy against organized civil rights groups that he said had been perpetrated by the New York City Police Dept. and the Federal Bureau of Investigations. Reggie Wood alleges that
A report from the City Auditor in 2019 found that the police department is unrealistic in the way it budgets for police overtime, that city policies are not being followed, and the “entire process on June 20, 2019. “One of the things that stands out is how the overtime is clustered and that the auditor pointed out how there may be inapwho are in charge of designating overtime,” said Councilmember Rebecca Kaplan in the news report.

“He was also tasked with ensuring that Malcolm X’s security detail was arrested days prior to the assassination, guaranteeing that Malcolm X didn’t have door security while at the Audubon Ballroom, where he was killed on Feb. 21, 1965.” Malcolm X, an anti-racism activist and former spokesman for the Nation of Islam, had reached the height of his renown when he was gunned down. Rumors of government conspiracy in his death had arisen immediately and were
widely believed by the Black community for decades. Wood’s purported deathbed letter was delivered to three of Malcolm X’s daughters – Qubiliah, Ilyasah, and Gamilah. Reggie Wood, the administrator of Ray Wood’s estate, read the letter to them. Ray Wood served as an undercover New York City police cial Services and Investigation (BOSSI).

differences between the 2008 and 2020 tests. First, to pass the 2020 test, the applicant must answer correctly 12 out of 20 questions, rather than 6 of 10. Second, the total number of questions in the pool increased from 100 to 128, thus creating more material to study. Finally, many of the questions in the old pool were dropped and new questions added. Among the blizzard of executive orders issued by President Joe Biden in the first few weeks after his Jan. 20 inauguration was a Feb. 2 order with the lengthy title: “Executive Order on Restoring Faith in Our Legal Immigration Systems and Strengthening Integration and Inclusion Efforts for New Americans.” The order proclaimed: “Our Nation is enriched socially and economically by
the presence of immigrants, and we celebrate with them as they take the important step of becoming United States citizens. The Federal Government should develop welcoming strategies that promote integration, inclusion, and citizenship.” While the executive order did not explicitly require that the 2020 test be scrapped, it called on federal agencies to develop plans to “eliminate barriers and otherwise improve the existing naturalization process.” In their review, agencies were instructed to pay particular attention to “civics and English language tests.” In announcing a return to the 2008 test, USCIS emphasized that the 2008 test was developed after a multiyear process with comment provided by 150 organizations, including educators and English as a second language experts.
