Gov. Newsom Nominates Rob Bonta as Next Attorney General of California By Antonio Ray Harvey, California Black Media
After weeks of speculation, Gov. Gavin Newsom has picked Assemblymember Rob Bonta as his replacement for former California attorney Gen. Xavier Becerra. Last December, President Biden nominated Becerra to his Cabinet as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. He was recently sworn into that role. On Wednesday, the governor’s nouncing Newsom has submitted the nomination of Rob Andres Bonta (D-Alameda), 48, as the state’s next Attorney General. “Rob represents what makes California great – our desire to verse systematic injustices,” said Newsom. “Growing up with parents steeped in social justice movements, Rob has become a pair our justice system and defend the rights of every Californian.” Under California law, the leg-

The State of California, acting through its appointed trustee Chris Learned, this week ordered the Oakland Board of Education not to pass a community-driven policy on Reparations for Black Students,” threatening to rescind the policy if it passed because it halts the continued closing of largely Black neighborhood schools in the city. “For four years, the district has been told it has too many schools,” said Learned, speak-
ing Wednesday evening at the board’s Zoom meeting. He told the board in the public meeting he would not allow the policy to stand because the district’s large number of schools was the cause of its economic woes. Learned maintained that school closings save money, despite the lack of evidence that it does. Highly respected research shows that in districts around the country closures do not save money and instead are very costly, not to mention the damage to the quality 0f education and the morale of students,

Two Minority Women Promoted Within Oakland Police Department By Bay City News
Two minority women were promoted within the Oakland Police Department Friday. Capt. Angelica Mendoza was promoted to Deputy Chief of Police and will be assigned to the newlyformed Bureau of Risk Management. For the last 25 years, Mendoza has served the community of Oakland, where she was born and raised. She is the first Latina to be promoted to the rank of Deputy Chief.
Since 2019, Mendoza has been the Area 4 Commander, where she has fostered trusting relationships, especially in the Latinx community, officials said. She is fluent in Spanish and incorporates her personal experiences and background to connect with the community. Manager Kiona Suttle was promoted to Deputy Director of Bureau of Services. In her new position, the Oakland native will become the department’s first African American Deputy Director and the highest-ranking
professional staff member. Suttle has served our Oakland community for more than two decades. She has overseen the department’s human resources section, the record’s division, served in both internal affairs and the Office of Inspector General. Officials said newlyappointed Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong has appointed the most diverse executive team in the history of the Oakland Police Department, and these promotions reflect his commitment to the department and the community it serves.

Over 1,000 Bay Area March in Solidarity Asian Americans Know With Asians Against Hate and Violence Centuries of White Supremacy Too By Emil Guillermo
Over 1,000 people rallied in San Francisco last weekend to stand in solidarity with the Asian community against racist hate and violence. Photo courtesy of SF Mayor’s Press Office. By Ken Epstein
More than 1,000 people demonstrated in San Francisco this past weekend, marching down Market Street to express
outrage and call for united community action against Anti-Asian hate and violence. Speaking at the rally, San Francisco Mayor London Breed pledged citywide soli-
darity with the Asian community. The protest began in San Francisco’s Castro District at 17th and Castro streets, where LGBTQ leaders spoke
out against the racist attacks. Breed said, “We’re going to bring something back something similar to the Guardian Continued on Page 10
I’m all for recycling. The good kind. Paper. Plastics. Just not the hate. But what do we have with us in Atlanta? It’s Vincent Chin, you know the Asian American killed in Detroit in 1982 with a baseball bat by a white auto worker angry at Japanese imports taking over the market. But Chin was Chinese, not Japanese. Details. That’s why I say Atlanta was Vincent Chin with the names changed. Soon Chung Park, 74, worked at Gold spa.

Those six names strike the discordant history of the hateful treatment of Asian Americans in this country, from the Chinese Exclusion Act in the 19th Century to today. Asian Americans know hate in America. President Joe Biden recognized it. And now suddenly, Biden has become one of the most pro-Asian American Continued on Page 10
Time for the Mayor and the City to Stop the Madness and Settle the Coal Dispute By Paul Cobb
We need the City Council to be the adults and step in to settle the controversy surrounding the Oakland Army Base once and for all. For nearly a decade, the the potential shipment of coal at a proposed bulk com-
modity terminal at the former Oakland Army Base, under a development agreement that it awarded to California Capital Investment Group (CCIG). A new developer, JMB Capital, has acquired the project and has offered to sit down the potential to not ship coal through the terminal despite cials in the Schaaf administra-
tion have not accepted invitations to meet and try to resolve the dispute. The consequences of failing to voluntarily settle the coal istating for the city. Already, the federal courts have indicated that the city cannot deny the right to ship coal. The United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal upheld a May 15, 2018 ruling by US District Court Judge Vince
Chhabria that the city of Oakland failed to prove that the transportation of coal posed a health and safety hazard to residents. Judge Chhabria found that a report presented by the city’s expert consultants, Environmental Science Associates (ESA), was “riddled with inaccuracies, major evidentiary gaps, erroneous assumptions, and faulty analyses.” Thus, it appears that the city has already lost on the is-
sue of whether it has the right to ban coal. Now the city attorney and city administration hang their hats on a sketchy pending state court case where they argue that the master lessee of the property, CCIG, lost the lease because they failed to commence construction of the terminal within the timeframe agreement. The likelihood of the city prevailing on that argument is
very slim. The City caused a delay in the completion of the terminal when they denied CCIG’s permits to resume construction and then claimed that the developer did not act in a timely manner. Now the developer asserts it is ludicrous for the city to claim that it did not act in a timely manner. I do not understand the Continued on Page 10

Mary Winston Jackson: A “Hidden Figure” No More By Tamara Shiloh
It was a love of science and a commitment to improving the lives of the people in her community that motivated Mary Winston Jackson (1921– 2005). Early on, she helped the youth in Hampton’s King Street Community Center’s science club build a wind tunnel to conduct experiments. “We have to do something like this to get them interested in science,” she said about her motivation. “Sometimes they are not aware of the number of Black scientists and don’t even know of the career opportunities until it is too late.” But Jackson’s own path to NASA Langley Research Center was not a smooth, straight shot. She grew up in Hampton, Va. She graduated from Hampton Institute (1942) with a dual degree in math and physical sciences. Her career in teaching began in Calvert County, Md., at an all-Black school. In the meantime, Hampton had become “one of the nerve centers of the World War II home front effort,” according to NASA’s website. Jackson then ing. She returned to Hampton, where she took on a receptionist position at the King Street USO Club. Continuing on her path to a career in the sciences, she worked as a bookkeeper and then as an army secretary at Fort Monroe (Virginia). Finally, in 1951, she found her way to the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory’s segregated West Area Comput-

ing section. She reported to the group’s supervisor, Dorothy Vaughan, another ‘Hidden Figure.’ Jackson spent two years in the computing pool but wanted more. According to NASA, she received an offer to “work for engineer Kazimierz Czarnecki in the 4-foot by 4-foot Supersonic Pressure Tunnel, a 60,000 horsepower wind tunnel capable of blasting models with winds approaching twice the speed of sound.” This was the hands-on experience Jackson needed. Eventually, Czarnecki suggested that Jackson enter a training program that would allow her to earn a promotion from mathematician to engineer. As a trainee, however, she was tasked to complete graduate-level math and physic courses managed by the University of Virginia. The classes were held at Hampton High School which, at the time, was segregated. Special ciy permission was required for her to

In 1958, she male engineer, likely the only Black female aeronautical enThat same year, according to NASA, she co-authored her Angle and Mach Number on Transition on Cones at Supersonic Speeds.” After nearly two decades, the promotions slowed. Jackson became frustrated; the glass ceiling had become the rule. She left engineering and became Langley’s Federal Women’s Program Manager. In that position, she focused on the hiring and promotion of the next generation of NASA’s female mathematicians, engineers and scientists. She retired from Langley in 1985.

CA Lawmakers Propose Process Supt. Thurmond Deploys 3 Million COVID to Decertify Convicted Cops Tests to Speed Up Safe School Reopening By Antonio Ray Harvey California Black Media

Sen. Steven Bradford (DGardena), the chair of the California Legislative Black Caucus, and Senate President pro Tem Toni Atkins (D-San Diego) added language with some teeth to Senate Bill (SB) 2, the “Kenneth Ross Jr. Police
State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond expanded an existing pilot testing program, adding 3 million free COVID-19 rapid antigen tests, as part of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s plan to accelerate the safe reopening of schools across California. “Being able to quickly identify who is positive, and who is not, will be critically important for day-to-day operations on a school campus, and will help protect not only students but teachers and support staff,” said Thurmond. State administrators partnered with the California COVID-19 Testing Task Force and the California Department of Education to safeguard the reopening of K-12 schools in underprivileged communities across the state. High-needs schools will have access to antibody tests at no cost so that students can return for in-person instruction. The pilot program delivered rapid antigen tests to 11 school districts located in areas that were the most impacted by the pandemic. The participating schools produced fruitful als who were asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic. The pilot program prioritizes rural regions, low-income neighborhoods, as well as Black and Brown communities that were disproportionately affected by COVID-19 due to limited access to adequate health care. Thurmond said that it is important to get the rapid antibody tests, “into the hands of those who may lack the access to testing or medical care.” The antibody tests are cru-

The recent amendments to SB 2 are similar to Senate Bill (SB) 73, which Bradford also introduced last year. That legislation died in committee last November. SB 2 is sponsored by a coalition of community organizations including Alliance for Boys and Men of Color, ACLU of California, Anti-Police Terror Project, Black Lives Matter Los Angeles, California Families United 4 Justice, Communities United for Restorative Youth Justice, PolicyLink, STOP Coalition, and Youth Justice Coalition. Sponsors and supporters of SB 2 say this time they hope the Legislature passes the police reform provisions they have drafted to strengthen the Tom Bane Civil Rights Act. The 1998 bill authored by California State Assemblyman Tom Bane created legal avenues for victims of police shootings to
seek compensatory and punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, and civil penalties. The state’s primary civil rights law that protects Californians against police abuse, the Bane Act has been undercut by bad court decisions, said Carl Douglas, president of DouglasHicks Law, and Consumer Attorneys of California Board Member. Once among the most robust laws protecting civil rights in the nation, Douglas says the Bane Act no longer serves as an effective check against police brutality. It no longer alerts municipalities of harmful policing practices, gives innocent victims of police brutality an effective civil recourse for justice and accountability or holds police accountable to act in good faith, he said. In California, racial or ethnic minorities account for 3 out of 4 people killed by police. And, over the last decade over 1,100 Californians were killed by pofornia Department of Justice data. In 2017 alone, 172 Californians died as a result of police use of force. The amendments to SB 2 include: strengthening the Bane Act by stripping some of the procedural barriers that nity; changing the composition of the public safety advisory boards to include another member of the public and removing a ing the California Commission Training to retroactively review certain misconduct related to deadly use of force, sexual assault, or dishonesty for the purpose of

State administrators also implemented the Healthy Places Index, a census data-tracking populations inconvenienced by the pandemic. The metric tool was created by the Public Health Alliance of Southern California to boost state outreach in low-income Black and Brown communities. Gov. Gavin Newsom said the pilot program is preparing more schools to welcome students for in-person learning before the end of the year. “By deploying these rapid tests, California is adding another tool in the toolbox to sup-
port schools as they continue on the path to reopen as safely and quickly as possible,” said Newsom. The rapid antibody testing pilot program was launched in January 2021 by the California COVID-19 Testing Task Force along with the California Endowment and the Public Health Institute. The research institutions, part of Newsom’s Together Toward Health initiative, are expected to publish the pilot program’s data revealing the test results of more than 40,000 students from 80 elementary schools in 11 school districts across the state.

have acted behind the scenes to threaten or intimidate district leadership into following their dictates. som to ask if he supports the decision of state representatives to block the board’s resolution on reparations for Black students. At Wednesday’s meeting, the board took three votes on the policy. The original resolution, backed by Black school board members and a broad community coalition, was defeated. A second compromise resolution, which contained wording that postpones closures for at least a year in largely Black schools, was also voted down after the board after hearing from Trustee Learned, saying he would rescind it. A third vote passed a watered-down version of the reparations policy, removing language from the compromise resolution on postponing school closings. This policy passed with the support of board members who had opposed the original resolution, and no Black board members voted for it. Boardmember Williams, urged the board not to be afraid to pass the reparations policy and instead to force Trustee Learned to rescind it if that’s what he wanted to do. Mirroring the practice of calling out the names of Black people murdered by police, Williams solemnly read out the long list of names of largely Black schools in Oakland that have been killed by the state in the nearly 20 years since the state imposed FCMAT on the district. In a memo to the district dated March 24, Learned told the board he would not permit the passage of the reparations policy. “I am unwilling to move forward any action item that removes a potential budget-balancing option for OUSD; therefore the governing board is informed that I will stay Resolution No. 2021-0037 until the language limiting, preventing, or delaying the Board’s ability to act on school mergers, consolidations, or closures is removed,” Learned wrote.
Stop the Madness and Settle the Coal Dispute Continue from page 1
city’s refusal to welcome a chance to resolve the issues short of a court decision. If Oakland loses, the terminal will be allowed to ship as much coal as it can handle over the next 66 years. In addition, the city likely will be on the hook for millions of dollars in losses caused by their dilatory maneuvers. More important, the proposed terminal is a major revenue producer for the city and will create hundreds of jobs handling non-coal commodities Oakland residents lose. By entering into a discussion with JMB Capital it could lead to a no coal agreement that gets the terminal built. But, by refusing to a no coal agreement? Some suggest the problem is the Mayor’s ego and a desire for revenge, or her plans for future political positioning. In reality, it doesn’t matter. Under the city charter, the City Council holds the ultimate power to decide whether to settle and resolve the issues on terms most favorable to the city. As I see it, if the city meets with the developer and reaches a no try, and the courts rule against the city, the result will likely be a loss that the city will suffer for the next 66 years. I urge the City Council to intervene and stop the nonsense. It has the duty and authority to protect the city from major losses and take advantage of a golden opportunity it seems determined to ignore. Please end the madness and direct the City Administrator to negotiate a no coal settlement in good faith and get this case behind us. Do it now, because if the city leaves it to the courts to decide, and they lose, there will be nothing left to negotiate after a court decision is made. Oakland residents will be stuck with the results of the city’s refusal to meet for decades to come.
