Rob Bonta Introduce Bill to Combat Hate Crimes By Kiki

Assemblymember Rob Bonta (D-Oakland), who has been nominated to be Attorney General of California, has introduced a bill, AB 886, “to combat recent surge in hate attacks with community-based solutions including prevention steps and victim assistance.” The bill would also provide support for victims and avenues of restorative justice. “The recent rise in racist and xenophobic attacks on members of the API community and the larger increase in hate crimes must be addressed with decisive action,” said Bonta. “The embers of hate have always been present, but they have recently been fanned into a than the previous occupant of the White House.” AB 886 would fund community-based organizations that provide culturally competent mental health services for victims of hate violence and restorative justice programs. The bill would also expand the eligibility for victims of hate violence to access victim compensation funds and not be denied solely because the victim Continued on Page 12

After over a year long delay, the City issued a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the project at the end of February. impacts that the project will have on the local environment, such as air quality, noise and transportation hazards. With only 60 days to review a very technical and complex, 6,000-page document, West Oakland stakeholders and industry leaders came together during an open forum to discuss the project, review the DEIR process and answer community members’ questions. West Oakland Resident Mercedes Rodriguez said the project would result in a “real big impact” to the community. She expressed concerns about the impacts on local residents due to increased trafevents.

Aaron Wright, another ILWU leader, displayed life live footage for attendees to see the Port in action and explained how the loss of Howard Terminal would delay trucks coming in and out and lead current port customers to seek other, more reliable options. . “We know what it is to make a good living and I know for a fact this will be bad for our industry,”

DMX, Long a Voice of the Community, Was the News Opinion By Emil Guillermo

The narrative of the Black Man in America continues with Daunte Wright, 20, gunned down by a white, female cop in a Minneapolis suburb who thought she was using a Taser. Does it sound like Fruitvale Station 2009, when Oscar Grant was face down on the ground and shot by an ofing a Taser? And all of this just 10 miles from where another cessive force that resulted in the killing of George Floyd. Earl Simmons would have had a lot to rap about. But the mic has already dropped for the icon known as DMX.

You probably did, too. DMX sold more records than the Queen’s Duke. And now DMX was pronounced dead from that heart attack he suffered on April 2. To be honest, I didn’t know the difference between DMX and my old Reeboks. I grew up with the Temptations, the Stylistics, and Tower of Power. When hip/hop and rap emerged, I was more prone to KRS-1.

Women of color have been underrepresented in the geosciences (sciences dealing with the earth). Between 1973 and 2016, the numbers were bleak: only 20 Native American, 69 Black and 241 Hispanic or Latino women received PhDs in all three geoscience subdisciplines combined—marine geographers, paleogeographers and physical geographers— according to Nature.com. These numbers amount to 1.46% of all doctorates awarded in over 40 years and have made little to no movement toward change. “A lack of diversity and inclusion is the single largest cultural problem facing the geosciences today,” Kuheli Dutt, the diverObservatory at Columbia University, told Nature Geoscience journal.

Bruce’s Beach is Just One Example of How Blacks Illegally Lost Land in California By Antonio Ray Harvey California Black Media

and more, will likely become cases to investigate as California begins to wrestle with its history of slavery and discrimination and how those forces have impacted African Americans throughout the history of the state – and still contribute to racial inequity today. Last year, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill (AB) 3121 into law. Former Assemblymember and current California Secretary of State Shirley

The disturbing story of Los Angeles County’s Bruce’s Beach Coast seaside resort for Black beachgoers and a residential enclave for a few African American families – has been making headlines around the country. One hundred years ago, Manthe Bruce’s beachfront property from an African American citing an “urgent need” to build a city park. But the area was not developed for recreational use after it was forcefully taken from the Black owners. In addition to the Bruce’s land, the city grabbed about two can American families along the domain laws. “This was a strategy and a tactic used everywhere – here in California. That’s why we get so it,” said Sacramento resident Jonathan Burgess, referring to Bruce’s beach and other properties he said were forcefully and illegally taken away from Black Californians in the past. Burof their own to reclaim property in Northern California’s Gold Country that he says authorities stole from his ancestors. Gold country is a mineral-rich area along the foothills of the Sierra Nevada that was a popular destination during California’s 19th century Gold Rush. “The timing couldn’t be better because of what’s happening in Manhattan Beach. First, you

have to reconcile the wrongs before you talk about reparations. That’s how you repair everything that happened afterward. You have to ask and wonder why there’s not massive wealth passed down from California’s early African American pioneers,” Burgess continued. Like Burgess, descendants of other Californians whose ancestors’ properties were unlawfully speak up. They are demanding restitution for their losses. makers, advocates and historians, these incidents involving direct land theft, intimidation, coercion,

Padilla and Lee: Rescue Plan Will Lift Half a Million California Kids Out of Poverty

Senator Alex Padilla By Quinci LeGardye California Black Media

President Joe Biden signed the latest federal COVID-19 stimulus package, known as the American Rescue Plan, into law on March 11. Over the past month since the bill passed – and as stimulus checks have gone out to people across the country -- some members of California’s congressional delegations have been coming home to inform their constituents about other forms of relief that law has established for them. Many of them will be implemented within the next few months or over the course of the next year. On April 6, Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA-13) and Senator Alex Padilla (DCalif.) hosted a virtual conference to inform Californians about the details of the American Rescue Plan. Throughout the conversation, they both spelled out the importance of direct relief to Black and Brown families and small businesses in the state. They said what’s currently offered in the American Rescue Plan helps, but it is hardly enough. They also said some measures in the bill should be made permanent.

Rep. Barbara Lee

Newly appointed Senator Padilla, formerly California’s Secretary of State, spoke about the scope of the law. He also described how his work on the chunk of his time since February when he was sworn in to serve in the U.S. Senate “Since my appointment to the Senate it has been COVID, COVID, COVID. We know how devastating COVID has been for the country and California is no exception, but it has disproportionately impacted working class communities and communities of color. So. It was great to partner with [Congresswoman Lee] and all of our colleagues to push through the American Rescue Plan. When we step back and take our breath, we recognize it’s one of the most progressive pieces of legislation approved by Congress since the New Deal. And, so, it is tremendous help that’s now arriving,” said Padilla. Lee spoke about forms of assistance included in the American Rescue Plan designed to help individuals and families in poverty. Those include the new expanded earned income tax credit and the expanded Child Tax Credit, as well as more Continued on page 7

law which mandates the creation of a committee to study Californians involvement in slavery and discrimination and make recommendations for how African Americans can be compensated for injustices sanctioned or committed by government. On April 9, Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn announced that the county will return a plot of Manhattan Beach land to the family of the Black couple who purchased Bruce’s Beach in 1912 for $1,225. But last week the City Council of Manhattan Beach, a mostlywhite city in southern Los Angeles County, voted to issue a statement of “acknowledgement and condemnation,” stopping short of descendants. There is also support in the California Legislature. Sen. Steven Bradford (D-Gardena) has announced new legislation, Senate Bill (SB) 796. It would exempt the Bruce’s Beach propopment restrictions and enable the county to return the site to its rightful owners. The legislation is co-authored by Sen. Ben Allen (D-Santa Monica) and Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi (DTorrance). After the Bruces bought the ocean-view parcel of land, which was considered a remote area at the time, they began operating Bruce’s Lodge and managed to construct a boarding space, an entertainment facility, café, and tents for changing clothing along with bathing suits for rent. Attracting African American beachgoers, the business incensed white neighbors who began buying property around the beach or posting ‘No Trespassing’ signs near the front entrance of the beach, forcing guests to walk nearly two miles to get to and from the resort. There was also an arson attack on the resort reportedly committed by local members of Ku Klux Klan. In Tulare County, the historic African American farming town of Allensworth suffered a similar fate to Bruce’s Beach. It was governed by Blacks with its own schools, library, church, hotels and businesses. Founded by Allen Allensworth, a man who born into slavery in Louisville, Ky., in 1842, and later became a colonel in the U.S. Army and the highest-rankin 1906, the town had as many as 300 residents during its peak in the 1920s. But by 1925, a comCompany that was responsible for supplying irrigation water to the town, did not. The lack of water affected the townspeople’s livelihood and the farmers’ productivity in the Central California town, and a lengthy and expensive legal dispute ensued between Allensworth and the company, which depleted all of the town’s resources. The residents and nearby farmers soon abandoned their land and slowly left the area in search of employment elsewhere. Then, there’s the city of Folsom, 20 miles east of Sacramento. Parts of that city sit on land purchased by Joseph Libbey FolLeidesdorff, a wealthy African Continued on page 8

the list, there isn’t a lot of diversity in terms of who the leads are. And I think it’s true that the more participation there is from the broader community, the better it’ll ultimately be.” Alan Dones, managing partner of Strategic Urban Development Alliance, LLC (SUDA) uses Robinson hadn’t broken the baseball color line? A world where only white men played the sport would not only deprive people of color the chance to participate, but also compromise the quality of the game itself. The needs and views of the communities where development projects are planned are often neglected, if they are acknowledged at all. And sadly, in our City (and region), the gleam of the growing skyline is often offset by the accompanying growth of nearby homeless camps. The result is a development process that often gets tangled in red tape, NIMBYISM, community protest, lost time and money.

Alan Dones, his SUDA business partner Regina Davis, and their extended professional family, have made several notable contributions to the Bay Area’s skyline. This includes Davis’ successfully developing unprecedented ownership models for affordable housing in San Francisco. And some of the most important buildings in the region’s recent history with Dones’ company, SUDA. His father did the same 50 years before. Yet in the intervening decades only a handful of major projects have been completed by African American-led development teams. Now Dones and Davis are working to introduce initiatives that will provide roadmaps toward more equitable real estate development. These initiatives will underline the “upside of equity” in the built environment – and are key compoand Broadway and 21st and 22nd street). adopt more inclusive and equitable practices – nothing is guaranteed. Over the coming months SUDA plans to collaborate with the Oakland Post to document its journey towards achieving equitable development outcomes.

So, going forward, we pledge to provide a searching and fearless account of both our failures and the successes of our efforts.

money allocated for rental assistance and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). She also commented on the importance of the law’s focus on poverty, especially in a high-cost state such as California. “Here in California, oftentimes we think of it as the Golden State which it is, but we have such huge numbers of people living below the poverty line, and it’s growing even more each and every day because of the pandemic,” Lee said. “Nationally, the crisis has plunged more than 8 million more people into poverty since last year. About 1 in 7 households nationwide including more than 1 in 5 African American and Latino households, and many Islander households are struggling just to secure the food that they need,” said Lee. The expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) makes the credit available to more workers not raising children, as the previous credit only went to a small number of these workers. With the increase, the maximum EITC is tripled, going from about $540 to about $1,500, and the income cap for

dren under age six and $3,000 for other children under age 18. The expansion also makes the Child Tax Credit available to all children except those with the highest incomes. According to the nonpartisan Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the changes in the Child Tax Credit will lift 4.1 million children in America above the poverty line -- a large number of them Black and Latino, whom the old credit disproportionately left out. “The expansion of the Child Tax Credit is one of the things I’m most proud of having supported. We have the opportunity to uplift half the nation’s children who are living in poverty, out of poverty. In California alone, that’s half a million children,” said Padilla. “We have a lot of work to do, and California has some of the highest poverty rates for Black and Brown children through-

out the country. And so, this is not something we in California can sidestep,” said Lee. In addition to providing details on the current relief available, Lee and Padilla also spoke about the need to expand or make some of the provisions of the American Rescue Plan permanent as many Californians work to build back the wealth that they lost during the pandemic. “In the law, we did put $1,400 in direct payments. For me, it’s not enough. I think we need to have at least $2,000 a month guaranteed until the end of the pandemic. People did not lose their jobs because they didn’t want to work. They didn’t lose their businesses because they just wanted to shut down. This was as a result of the pandemic and so our government needs to step up,” said Lee.

Bruce’s Beach is Just One Example of How Attitudinal Healing Connection, Provides Art Programming for Blacks Illegally Lost Land in California Continued from page 5

American merchant from San Francisco. Leidesdorff obtained and owned the property from a Mexican land grant called “Rancho Rio de Los Americanos,” which was initially the city’s name before it was changed to Folsom. When Leidesdorff, 38, passed away in 1848 of typhoid fever, his estate was passed on to his mother Anna Marie Sparks, and relatives who were living on the island of St. Croix, according to the book, “William Alexander Leidesdorff - First Black Millionaire, American Consul and California Pioneer.” Folsom went to St. Croix to negotiate a price to purchase land located on the American River near the Sierra Nevada and close to a boom town where some Blacks became involved in gold mining. On Nov. 3, 1849, The two parties settled that Leidesdorff’s family would receive $75,000 for the land. Sparks received the she refused the second amount of $35,000 when she learned that Folsom’s valuation of the land she owned was below the against Folsom, but California law ruled in his favor. By then, people in the area had already began calling a portion of the estate “Negro Bar,” an area on the American River where Black people were designated to live in tents and mining camps. After the Black miners were forced to move, Folsom renamed the town Gran-

ite City. After his passing in 1855 at the age of 38, Granite City was renamed in Folsom’s honor. When Folsom took full control of Leidesdorff’s estate, the land’s value increased exponentially and made him a millionaire, according to Leidesdorff’s biography. “Ms. Sparks was not well educated and could not read well,” said Shonna McDaniel, who operates the Sojourner Truth African Heritage Museum in Sacramento. “I believe he took advantage of her, manipulating her into believing the land was worthless. It was just another way to take something of value in California.” Both Allensworth and Negro Bar are California State Parks now. Back in Los Angeles County, Hahn describes the arc of the Bruces’ story – from business savvy entrepreneurs for their time and resources to their sad fate -- as an “American Dream that turned into a nightmare.” The parcel the Bruces bought was dormant for almost 30 years before it was opened as a park in the 1960s. It was renamed Bruce’s Beach in 2007. “This land was taken from the Bruce family because they were Black and, before it was stolen, was one of the precious few beaches Black families could enjoy,” Hahn said. “When I realized that the county now had ownership of the Bruce family’s original property, I felt there was nothing else to do but to give it back to its rightful owners. Bruce’s Beach Park is cur-

rently housing L.A. County’s lifeguard training facility. Last week, Bradford, who is chair of the California Legislative Black Caucus and an appointee to the state’s still-forming reparations task force, held a press conference to share details about SB 796. “There comes a time when someone must take a position that is neither safe, nor political, nor proper,” said Bradford, quoting Martin Luther King, Jr. “He must take it because his conscience tells him it’s the right thing to do.” nally allow Bruce’s Beach to be returned to its rightful owners.” L.A. County Board of Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell, L.A. County Fire Depart-

ment Chief Daryl Osby, former Manhattan Beach Mayor Mitch Ward, Justice for Bruce’s Beach Founder Kavon Ward, and Bruce family representative Duane Shephard, all attended the news conference, along with Bradford, Hahn and Muratsuchi. “We’re not looking for an apology. We want our property back. We want restitution for the loss of revenue for 96 years from the generational wealth that would have been built up,” Shepherd said on MSNBC two days after the news conference. “We want punitive damages from the city of Manhattan Beach City Council and the police department at that time for colluding with the Ku Klux Klan to railroad our people out of there.”

Attitudinal Healing Connection, Provides Art Programming for Bay Area Children and Youth The Girl was created by 13 year-old Georgina Avaloz from the Community School for Creative Education. Inspired by minimalist painters, the piece is acrylic on paper. Avaloz is enrolled in ArtEsteem, AHC-Oakland’s art and literacy program run. ArtEsteem offers art classes in under-funded schools, helping remedy the effects of poverty and racism that can block academic and personal achievement.

This untitled self-portrait was created by 13-year-old Dayanara Person from Life Academy school. The piece is created with analogous colors and implied texture, using materials such as color pencil, watercolor and marker. Dayanara is enrolled in the West Oakland Legacy and Leadership Project (Legacy for short), a dynamic after-school program that bridges the arts, cultural awareness, and community advocacy. The program is overseen by Attitudinal Healing Conproviding art programming for Bay Area children and youth.

This mandala is by 7th grader Karen Jauregui of Oakland’s Life Academy Middle School. In her ArtEsteem class, Jauregui learned about mandalas, also called “radial art”. This universal art form is inspired by the geometry and beauty of the natural world--elements such as the sun, moon, and To prepare her students for the project, artist Etty Alberto exposed her students to mandalas by Tibetan monks, and to the “kolam”, a chalk painting created on the ground at the entrance to houses in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Sri Lanka in gratitude for the displacement of non-human creatures that once dwelt there. Jauregui’s watercolor mandala was made with a ruler and a protractor

that she created from paper. ArtEsteem offers art classes to students in underserved communities, providing a foundation in art techniques while engaging students in current and historical cultural topics to inspire and expand their view of their world.

FEMA to Begin Reimbursing Families This Week for COVID Funeral Costs By Quinci LeGardye California Black Media

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an alarming number of deaths over the past year: just under 3 million people across the globe; more than half a million people in the United States; and more than 60,000 victims died here in California. The families and loved ones of those victims have been slammed with unexpected funeral costs. Many of them have had to suffer the loss of someone they loved while facing caused by the pandemic. In an effort to provide some relief for the victims, the federal government has announced a new program. “The COVID-19 pandemic has brought overwhelming grief to many families. At FEMA, our mission is to help people before, during and after disasters. We are dedicated to cial stress and burden caused announcement of the program on FEMA’s website.

“Although we cannot change what has happened, we with funeral and burial expenses that many families did not anticipate,” said acting FEMA Administrator Bob Fenton. Beginning April 12, FEMA COVID-19 related funeral expenses incurred after Jan. 20, 2020. Anyone who lost a loved

one to COVID-19 will be able to apply for retroactive reimbursements for funeral costs, up to $9,000 per burial. Funeral expenses will count as the purchase of burial, a plot, a headstone, clergy services, cremation, the transfer of remains or other services associated with a funeral. According to National Funeral Directors Association, the average cost

of a funeral with a viewing and burial was $7,640 in 2019. Funding for the program was included in both COVID-19 stimulus packages passed by Congress recently -the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) Act signed by former President Donald Trump in December 2020 and the American Rescue Plan signed by President Joe Biden in March 2021. Applicants for the program will be required to provide an uting the death either directly or indirectly to COVID-19 and show that the death occurred in the U.S. In addition, applicants have to submit funeral expense documents, such as receipts or a funeral home contract. They will also have to provide proof of funeral funds received from other sources, as the program will not reimburse funds received from burial insurance or cies or other sources. If multiple people contributed toward funeral costs, they will be able to apply under a

County Extends Vaccine Eligibility to All Residents Age 16 And Up By Eli Walsh Bay City News Foundation

Alameda County has opened COVID-19 vaccine availability to all residents age 16-plus, the fourth Bay Area county to do so ahead of the state’s April 15 deadline. Alameda County opened eligibility to people 16 and up over the weekend, joining Contra Costa, Santa Clara and San Francisco counties. As of Monday, 33 percent of county residents age 16 and up had been fully vaccinated and 52.7 percent had received at least one dose.

The change in eligibility comes as Alameda and Contra Costa counties begin jointly operating the Colleen mass vaccinaChawla tion site at the Oakland Coliseum, which has been jointly operated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency gency Services since it opened in mid-February. “Our local leaders, federal delegation, our governor and even our vice president recognized the importance of

keeping this site available to promote equity and access,” Alameda County Health Care Services Agency Director Colleen Chawla said in a statement. “We are pleased to continue expanding eligibility to all residents, ages 16 and up, and reaching our local residents,” said Chawla. The two counties expect to be able to administer up to 6,000 vaccine doses per day at the Coliseum in addition to four mobile vaccination units that will hold clinics in prioritized areas of both counties. “We are moving quickly to keep up the momentum to keep

everyone safe and healthy,” Contra Costa Health Services Director Anna Roth said. “For many Contra Costa residents, this site is a short drive or public transit trip from their homes.” Eligible residents from both counties can make vaccination appointments at the Coliseum via the state’s My Turn scheduling tool at https://myturn. ca.gov or by calling (833) 4224255. The Coliseum site administers vaccines seven days per week from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., with 17 drive-thru lanes as well as walk-up appointments.

single application as applicant and co-applicants. According to FEMA, the agency will reimburse funeral costs for multiple people in the same family, up to a maximum of $35,000. Consideration of reimbursements for funeral expense began as early as May 2020 when U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA-13) and U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (DNY-14) introduced the COVID Funeral Assistance Act. It proposed reimbursements of up to $10,000. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (DNY) has also been an advocate for federal funeral assistance. “Families across this country are living on the edge because of this public health and economic crisis. On top of fac-

ing unimaginable hardship and loss, the last thing they should have to worry about is how to pay for funeral expenses,” Lee said. FEMA has also included a fraud alert on its website. “We have received reports of scammers reaching out to people offering to register them for funeral assistance. FEMA has and we do not contact people prior to them registering for assistance,” it reads. To learn more, applicants can visit the COVID-19 Funeral Assistance page on FEMA. gov, or call the COVID-19 Funeral Assistance Hot Line at 844-684-6333, or TTY at 800462-7585.

A Deep East Oakland Based Grocery Co-op is Opening By Zack Haber

The four worker owners of a new grocery store in deep East Oakland want to bring more healthy food options to the area through a cooperative model. The DEEP Grocery Co-op opened for online sales on April 7.

Vaccine Outreach Campaign Targeted at Black, African American Continued from page 1

The state is spending some $40 million in public outreach to preach the vaccines’ virtue via radio, print, social media, television and billboard ads. One ad targeting Black communities includes Darius, an East Palo Alto photographer, vaccines’ safety and being reassured by California Surgeon ris, who is Black. The community engagement effort will begin in Oakland, according to the California De“Data shows that COVID-19 disproportionately impacts African American communities in terms of severity, mortality, and economics. These communities are also being vaccinated at

disproportionately low rates,” Aragon said. “We designed this campaign to speak to the underconcerns and questions surrounding the vaccine of Black and African American communities.” Pastors of Oakland’s founder and its current president weighed in on the state’s efforts. POC President Pastor Phyllis Scott of Tree of Life Ministries in Oakland said she was “happy to see that an effort is being made to reach out to the African-American community.” African Americans are aware of the seriousness of the disease and 55% say they want to receive the vaccination, she said.

But the community faces obstacles that have to be adtion site. Bringing vaccines to places like the Coliseum is not enough, Scott said. “Are these vaccinations in easily accessible locations where public transportation is available and where are parking is available?” Getting an appointment can be an arduous task even if you do have internet access, beof these factors make it even nerable, “such as our homeless populations, our disabled and seniors,” Scott said. Pastor Gerald Agee of West Oakland’s Friendship Christian Center and a founder of Pastors of Oakland is also

glad the state is taking special steps to engage the African American community. Early in the pandemic he became involved in a statewide coalition of churches and the African American Community Empowerment Council to get testing sites into the African American neighborhoods using a trusted messenger: the Black church. Concurring with Scott that not everyone is going to stand in line at the Coliseum, Agee praised Gov. Gavin Newsom and the California Department ing the advice of Black church leaders to make COVID-19 testing and then vaccinations available through the church. to postnewsgroup.com
