Oakland to Review Coliseum Sale Negotiations October 7

By Kimberly Jones

The Rules Committee Chair and the President of the City Council announced that the council will meet in a closed session Oct. 7 to receive an oral report on the status of negotiations regarding the purchase of its interest in the Oakland Coliseum Complex, after which they will schedule an open hearing before the council.

Vice Mayor Rebecca Kaplan and Councilmember Noel Gallo announced on September 28 that they have submitted a scheduling request for a proposal to proceed with approval nonbinding terms of an agreement for the proposed acquisition and development (including, purchase, lease, and partnership) of the City of Oakland’s 50% undivided interest in the Coliseum to the African American Sports and Entertainment Group (AASEG).

Their statement said, “The Coliseum property is a large,

publicly owned site that has excellent connectivity throughout the region, including with BART, Amtrak, freeway, and airport access. By developing it in a way that provides jobs, housing at all income levels, and public revenue, we can achieve significant improvement for the

Oakland community, especially in East Oakland area where it is located.” It further stated, “If approved, awarding this vital site for development to an Oakland-based, African American development group would help remedy extensive racial disparities in Oakland contracts and

economic opportunity.”

Kaplan has worked toward revitalization of the Coliseum for several years. Two years ago, in an Op-Ed for the Oakland Post, she wrote of existing concerns about the loss of jobs, lack of affordable housing, and the further erosion of the Black community in East Oakland, and how community-oriented revitalization can help remedy these problems. See Op-Ed at https://www.postnewsgroup. com/opinion-a-vision-forthe[1]future-of-the-coliseumarea/ Kaplan said the AASEG has agreed to 35% affordable housing and to cover the City’s project costs during the negotiation process. The group projects the creation of up to 40,000 jobs, and significant inclusion of local residents.

Barbara Lee Announces American Rescue Plan Funding to Modernize Local Health Centers and Support for Underserved Communities From Rep. Lee’s Office

Congresswoman Barbara Lee (CA-13) announced Thursday more than $5.5 million in American Rescue Plan (ARP) funding will go to modernize health centers and support underserved communities in the East Bay. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is awarding nearly $1 billion in ARP funds to almost 1,300 health centers in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories to support major health care construction and renovation projects.

“I want to express my immense gratitude to these service providers for their public health stewardship, and for the work and sacrifices of their staff, to ensure that our communities have the information and care they need to get through this pandemic,” Lee said. “Thank you for taking care of our communities, and for all your efforts to promote equity in public health both during the pan-

Oakland needs a level playing field

Build It at the Coliseum, and They Will Come!

By Paul Cobb

Something stinks about the Oakland A’s claim that the Oakland Coliseum is an unfit site for a new baseball stadium. Why can’t the Oakland A’s build a new state-of-the-art stadium, entertainment venues, and affordable and market rate housing at the Coliseum? Is it because the Coliseum is located in a predominately Black community?

This moment presents a great opportunity to bring major construction and new life to the people of East Oakland. Oakland’s progressive City Council must not fall for the A’s bullying threat that they will leave town if they don’t get a sweetheart deal to build a new stadium and luxury condos at Howard Terminal. If the A’s won’t build at the Coliseum, and help the people of East Oakland, let them leave.

The Coliseum was constructed in 1966. Ever since, loyal fans have attended games at the Coliseum without incident. Never once has a major incident occurred because the Coliseum is surrounded by Black folks. The only fights we know about were between Raiders fans. So, what are the A’s afraid of?

Look at the facts. We have heard claims that the Coliseum may have water table issues.

Are they telling us that a waterfront stadium won’t have water issues? The stadium’s field could be lifted higher and leveled.

Opinion

They say fans want a downtown stadium with easy access so they can attend games after work. Howard Terminal is not downtown, and it does not have easy access. To get to Howard Terminal, fans will have to dodge trucks and trains on busy road and rail routes. At one point, the A’s acknowledged that fact and offered up a gondola system, but we have not heard of that recently. Probably because they realized it does not make sense. (Imagine 15,000+ people trying to get in a gondola after a night game.)

By comparison, the Coliseum is located next to a BART station with a link to Oakland International Airport, and it has an Amtrak stop right next door for out-of-town fans. The Coliseum also has adjacent bus routes along with freeway access and vast parking.

The A’s say they need to build luxury condos to help finance stadium construction costs. By implication, they are saying they could not sell luxury condos in the area where the Coliseum is located. This is the same kind of nonsense we heard years ago. Back then, we were told that major developers would not build anywhere in Oakland. Well, look around.

Consider this as well. The A’s threaten that if they don’t get their way, they will move to Las Vegas. They back up that threat with visits to alternative sites in Nevada. That belies Continued on Page 8

School District Settles Case of Police Learning Black History Year-Round Brutality Against Parents and Teachers William Pickett: First at Bulldogging

By Tamara Shiloh

Saru Jayaraman

The $337,500 settlement resolves a lawsuit filed by a parent group after six parents and teachers were arrested in a protest at an Oakland school board meeting on Oct. 23, 2019. At least one parent was severely hurt.

By Keith Burbank, Bay City News

Parents and teachers in the Oakland Unified School District will donate $100,000 toward keeping their schools public following a settlement with the district in a case of alleged police brutality, organizers with a coalition to preserve public education in the city said on Sept. 23.

The resolution of the case settles claims of police brutality at a board meeting in October 2019, when parents and teachers protested the closure of Henry J. Kaiser Jr. Elementary School at 25 S. Hill Court.

The district closed the school despite continued protests of supporters of the coali-

tion Oakland Not For Sale and others. School officials decided Kaiser will reopen next year as a preschool.

The amount of the settlement is $337,500 in damages, with $100,000 going toward supporting school board candidates who want to keep schools public instead of converting them into charter schools, for example. Three of the seven school board members are up for election next year.

“We’re thrilled to be announcing not only a settlement with the district, but our ability to now give a six-figure donation to our fight to stop public school closures and support

candidates who will fight the privatization of the Oakland Unified School District,” said Saru Jayaraman, plaintiff in the litigation Jayaraman v. OUSD, in a statement.

“We’re also thrilled that in the same moment, we can declare victory in that Kaiser Elementary, which we fought to keep public, will indeed remain a public facility – and we will build on these victories with resources to continue to fight all future public-school closures,” Jayaraman said.

“While it isn’t exactly what we would have hoped, we’re Continued on page 3

It was in the state of Texas that the cowboy lifestyle came into its own. The state’s vast lands were filled with cattle since it was colonized by Spain in the 1500s. By the 1800s, millions of cattle grazed there, making cattle farming a “bountiful economic and cultural phenomenon,” according to author Katie Nodjimbadem.

Images depicted in movies and on television of these cattle ranchers (cowboys) have mostly been of white Americans. Although Black cowboys “don’t play a part in the popular narrative, historians estimate that one in four cowboys were Black,” Nodjimbadem wrote.

One of them was William Pickett (ca. 1870–1932), who became a cowboy after completing the fifth grade.

Records show that Pickett was born in 1870 in western Williamson County. As a young boy he’d watched herder dogs subdue huge steers by biting their upper lips. At around age 10, he decided to do the same but by using his own technique.

After perfecting a unique way of steer wrestling -- or bulldogging-- and roping and riding, he began performing stunts at public events.

Steer wrestling, a rodeo event during which a mounted cowboy (or bulldogger) races alongside and then tackles a full-grown steer, was invented

by Pickett. If a cowboy is experienced, he can wrestle a steer to the ground in five to eight seconds. Standing at only five feet, seven inches and weighing 145 pounds, Pickett used his signature move to grab a steer by its horns, twist its neck, and bite it on one lip. The 500–600-pound animal would then fall backward, allowing Pickett to pull it to the ground.

Once the steer was on its side

Willie M. “Bill” Pickett, Dec. 5, 1870 – April 2, 1932, was a cowboy, rodeo, Wild West show performer and actor.

In 1989, Pickett was inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame. Photo courtesy of

en.wikipedia.org

with all four of its feet pointing in the same direction, Pickett was done. This rapidly became a popular contest at cowboy events, later becoming a standard of contemporary rodeo.

Bulldogging however, has since been modified to reduce danger to the steer.

By 1903, Pickett’s career had taken off. His success spurred Dave McClure, an

event promoter, to dub Pickett the “Dusky Demon” and bill him as the “most daring cowboy alive.”

According to Texas history writer Lori Grossman, the term ‘dusky’ was “intended to disguise Pickett’s ethnicity whenever white cowboys shied from appearing on the same program as an African-American man.”

Pickett competed in rodeos large and small, yet amassing a significant record as a competitor was impossible. Although Blacks had not been officially barred from most contests, he was often billed as a Native American or not identified as Black.

The Wild West’s heyday quieted after World War I. Pickett’s show, the 101 Ranch Wild West Show, where he had been a headliner for 26 years, closed down in 1931. He died the following year after a horse kicked him in the head.

Forty years after his death, Pickett became the first Black honoree in the National Rodeo Hall of fame. In 1989, he was enshrined in the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame.

Versions of Pickett’s bulldogging are still performed by rodeo athletes today.

Newsom Signs $15B Package of Bills to Help State Cope with Climate Change

By Bay City News

California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bevy of bills on Thursday that together authorize $15 billion in spending to combat climate change.

Newsom signed 24 bills intended to provide wildfire protection, drought response and protection from sea level rise and extreme heat.

The bills include $1.5 billion for wildfire and forest resilience, $5.2 billion over three years for short-term drought response and longterm investment in water supply expansion and drinking and wastewater systems, $3.7 billion over three years to cope with extreme heat and sea level rise, $1.1 billion over two years for sustainable agriculture investments and $3.9 billion to purchase thousands of zero-emission vehicles and to help “drive consumer adoption” of such vehicles.

“We’re deploying a comprehensive approach to meet the sobering challenges of the extreme weather patterns that imperil our way of life and the Golden State as we know it,” Newsom said in a news release Thursday.

The bills are intended to, in part, help communities better prepare for wildfires and fund fuel breaks and fuel reduction projects in fire-prone areas.

They also include money for emergency drought relief and to expand water supplies and for projects to support wildlife and habitat restoration efforts.

By 2026, Cal Education Chief Wants Every 3rd-Grader to Know How to Read

By Joe W. Bowers Jr. California Black Media

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond held a press conference via Zoom and on Facebook last week to unveil an ambitious new education achievement plan for California. It is a campaign that has been designed to ensure, by 2026, every California third grader will know how to read.

The effort will also include a biliteracy milestone for dual-language learners.

Thurmond announced that he will be forming a task force of practitioners, advocates, researchers, foundation partners, thought leaders, students, parents, and other experts to identify key strategies that school districts and charter schools can employ to help their students achieve this bold goal.

Education researchers point out that children are expected to be able to learn about the world through reading by third and fourth grade. This is when their math lessons are taught using word problems and reasoning skills are developed through discussing text they’ve been assigned to read.

Children who fall behind developing reading skills quickly find themselves struggling to keep up with their coursework.

A study by researchers at the Stanford Graduate School of Education reached the conclusion that during the pandemic inadequate reading instruction has contributed to students’ reading fluency in second and third grade to be approximately 30 % behind what would be expected in a typical year.

Thurmond said during his opening remarks, “We already know that when students learn to read, they can read to learn anything. This is a gateway skill that can carry them to any point in their life, in their career, and in their journey. We also know that when students don’t learn to read by third grade, they’re at greater risk to drop out of school, and they are greater risk to end up in the criminal justice system” On the state’s Smarter Balanced tests during the 201819 school year only 33% of Black students in grades three through 11 tested at grade level or above in English language; only 31% of third graders tested at grade level or above in English language arts.

In addition to announcing the task force formation, Thurmond revealed that Assemblymember Mia Bonta (D-Oakland) has agreed to sponsor legislation that will formally be introduced in 2022 to support the task force’s recom-

mendations.

“We will bring forward legislation in the next legislative cycle that will help us to have the resources for professional learning, and the other things that we’ll need to support our students,” he said.

Thurmond expects the legislation to consider issues of readiness, chronic absenteeism, needs of students with disabilities and multilingual learners, early education, and socio-economic factors that impact a student’s ability to learn to read.

“I look forward to working closely with you all in the coming weeks and months on improving childhood literacy and biliteracy,” said Assemblymember Bonta speaking at the press conference.

“I applaud Superintendent Thurmond for this targeted campaign. It is a bold, aggressive agenda. I’m on board and willing to make sure that we have the ability to provide legislation that is going to be meaningful and focus on implementation and making this

Last week, California’s Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals took an expansive but deeply personalized look at the history of slavery, racial violence and injustice in America and traced how that past still shapes how we live now.

happy Kaiser is being used as a public facility for students and that we were able to resolve the litigation,” said Amy Haruyama, a OUSD teacher who is a plaintiff in the lawsuit and former Kaiser Elementary teacher who now works at Sankofa United Elementary School.

Organizers with Oakland Not For Sale said OUSD officials have closed 17 public schools and almost all of them have been replaced with charter schools. Most of the closures involved schools serving mostly Black and Hispanic students, the organizers said.

Kaiser, when it was closed, was one of the district’s highest achieving elementary schools as well as one of the most racially and ethnically diverse.

California, which has trusteeship over Oakland public schools, and wealthy charter school advocates are behind the drive to replace public schools with charter schools, ONFS organizers said.

The new state budget trailer, approved in July, requires the district to continue to close and sell or lease public school properties.

Families, teachers, and community groups formed Oakland Not For Sale following the decision by Oakland school officials to close Kaiser Elementary School.

“It was a wonderful diverse space,” Melissa Korber, treasurer for Oakland Not For Sale, and the mother of a student who once attended the school.

Korber believed Kaiser Elementary was a successful school, with a diverse student population that was wrongly portrayed as a school that was not diverse.

School district officials declined to comment on the settlement.

“I Hope Gov. Newsom Woke Up Thanking Black Women for Recall Results” Dr. Julianne Malveaux, Special to California Black Media Partners

When California Gov. Gavin Newsom woke up on Wednesday, Sept. 15, 2021, I hope he fell to his knees and said, “Thank you, God, thank you, Black women.”

To be sure, there are many others to thank, from the energized Chicanx/Latinx community to the Democrats who surged to the polls at the last minute.

Some of the more prominent politicians who thronged to his side were Black women, including Vice President Kamala Harris, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, Congresswoman Karen Bass, L.A. County Board of Supervisor Holly Mitchell, San Francisco Mayor London Breed and California Board of Equalization member Malia

Opinion

were determined that the recall effort would fail and even more determined when talk show host Larry Elder jumped into the race as the conservative favorite.

Those who worked for Newsom weren’t necessarily his biggest fans, but they appreciated all the work he has done to develop a progressive agenda.

They applauded his appointment of Dr. Shirley Weber as Secretary of State. They appreciated his support of Vice President Harris and President Biden. Despite his flaws and unforced errors, they appreciated his leadership on COVID matters (like the French Laundry debacle). And they turned up and turned out, although with laggardness that put the outcome of the recall in doubt, especially in mid-August when Elder was polling very close to Newsom.

Democrats ought to be ashamed that things got that close. In a state that has twice as many Democrats as Republicans, there should never have been a question about the outcome of the vote. Frankly, there never should have been a recall election. But if Republicans can’t get their way the oldfashioned way (by winning), they’ll try the renegade way: by stealing. So, we were treated to allegation after allegation of voter fraud before a single ballot had been counted. We heard reports that some partisan pollwatchers were aggressively challenging voter signatures in the name of preventing fraud.

Republicans have been able to gain all these advantages because Democrats, in a phrase, have been sleeping.

President Biden would be the first to assert that Black women made a difference in the 2020

tion indicates that a drug has a high potential for abuse, and it has no clear medical benefits.

If the initiative is qualified and approved by California voters, it would also authorize the research and use of psilocybin mushrooms for treatment by qualified healthcare practitioners. The requirement for an “independent professional certifying body” would exist to establish qualifications for healthcare practitioners who provide psilocybin mushroomassisted therapy and to create protocols for such therapy.

As Chair of the Senate Public Safety Committee and as a Black man in America, I have come to know what justice is or is not for people that look like me,” Sen. Steven Bradford (D-Gardena) told California Black Media.

“The War on Drugs had drastic consequences and a dispropor-

tionate impact on people of color, urban communities, and poor people despite studies showing drug usage being equal across various landscapes. That is one of the reasons why I support the decriminalization of certain drugs, including psilocybin. The effects of the war on drugs, however, is not the only reason for my position. Data and science have proven psilocybin’s potential to help people in a myriad of therapeutic applications. We gain nothing by continuing to live in the wreckage of the war on drugs, it is time to move on.”

The Attorney General prepares the legal title and summary that is required to appear on initiative petitions. When the official language is complete, the Attorney General forwards it to the proponent and to the Secretary of State, and the initiative may be circulated for signatures. The Secretary of State then provides calendar deadlines to the proponent and to county elections officials.

California was a trailblazer in the national movement to legalize marijuana when it first over-

turned prohibitions against medical uses of cannabis 25 years ago.

Marijuana for recreational use is now legal in 47 states and the District of Columbia.

The proponent of the measure, Ryan Munevar, must collect signatures of 623,212 registered voters (5% of the total votes cast for governor in the November 2018 general election) for the measure to become eligible for the November 2022 ballot.

“I’m not an optimistic person at all, I’m more of a mathematician when it comes to these things, we have this down to a science” said Munevar. “But the reception has been phenomenal.”

Kevin Sabet, drug policy adviser to President Obama and author of the book, “Smokescreen: What the Marijuana Industry Doesn’t Want You to Know,” has been an outspoken critic of legalization of marijuana, mushrooms and other drugs.

Sabet warns that profit motives, not public health imperatives, drive political legalization efforts.

Weber also shared a largely unknown part of history that has direct ties to why reparations are being discussed. She highlighted the 1919 race riots in Elaine, Arkansas, which has not gotten the attention of other mob incidents of racial terror that happened in places like Chicago, St. Louis and Tulsa.

Historians document a series of those massacres that occurred from April to November 1919 as “Red Summer,” when a wave of anti-Black riots and lynching took place after World War I. The word “red” symbolizes the color of the fires that engulfed burning, Black churches.

Weber’s family was from nearby Hope, Arkansas, but during her research, she discovered that Black farmers “were chased in the fields, the cotton fields” murdered by non-Black people “to strike a sense of fear” in African Americans. Weber said “hundreds of people” were killed.

Weber, whose father was born in 1918, a year before Red Summer, says she was more concerned with her grandfa-

ther’s mental state after the incident because he was “fearful of white people.”

“Elaine, Arkansas, had the worst race riot of any state in the nation. It was considered the deadliest race riot in the United States. Deadlier than what happened in (Tulsa) Oklahoma,” Weber said. “It’s now being researched and looked at, but I have to begin to ask myself ‘what impact did the race riots of 1919 have on my grandfather?’”

Bertha Gaffney Gorman, who worked for The Sacramento Bee newspaper from 1971 to 1978, was one of the only Black reporters in the newsroom at the time. She also testified to “tell her family’s history” and discrimination they experienced in the Golden State.

Gorman is the grandmother of Amanda Gorman, 23, the first National Youth Poet Laureate in 2017 who recited her powerful poem “The Hill We Climb” at Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration. The younger Gorman, who graduated from Harvard University, was born and raised

in Los Angeles.

A Texas native who was born in 1940, the elder Gorman said members of her family “were free on paper but not in reality.”

Gorman said that Black Codes and vagrancy laws restricted freedom for members of her family and bound them to serve as cheap labor.

Her family witnessed intimidations, beatings and hangings of free Black people who “continued to work for their enslavers, lived in the same shacks, and experienced the same cruelty and control,” she said, drawing parallels between their life conditions and those of their enslaved ancestors.

Gorman shared specifics about racism she experienced working and living in the state’s capital city.

She moved to Sacramento in the late 1950s to attend Sacramento City College. While enrolled, Gorman lost her job because she tried to take a test for a clerk position for the state of California.

about this campaign for a number of reasons, but for me and for us this campaign launches at a time when we’ve all seen how drastically our education systems can change during a crisis,” said Nellum. “And in our opinion now is the time to act with the same sort of urgency with regard to our literacy crisis in California.”

In his closing remarks Thurmond said, “I thought I’d have

eight years to work on this in some way. The pandemic has upended some of those efforts.

But … to borrow from the wonderful Congresswoman Maxine Waters, ‘I’m reclaiming my time’ to work on an initiative that I know is so important.”

California Could Decriminalize Drug “Magic Mushrooms” as Early as Next Year

By Edward Henderson, California Black Media

The seeds have been planted for another California law that could loosen restrictions on the use of recreational drugs in the United States.

Last week, Secretary of State Dr. Shirley N. Weber announced that a new initiative to decriminalize psilocybin mushrooms, -- also known by its street name “shrooms” -- has been cleared by her office. Proponents of the legislation can begin collecting signatures to qualify it as a statewide ballot measure in 2022.

The initiative calls for the decriminalization of psilocybin mushrooms under California’s penal code. It also calls for the legalization of cultivation, manufacture, processing, distribution, transportation, possession, storage, consumption, and retail sale of the hallucinogenic fungi and chemical compounds it contains – as well as products and extracts derived from it.

Currently, under federal law, mushrooms are classified as a Schedule 1 drug. That designa-

demic scholars, historians, and members of the Black community.

“The pain is real,” said California Secretary of State Shirley Weber after hearing testimony from individuals sharing personal and family experiences of bigotry and enslavement.

Weber, too, testified in front of the Task Force on September 24.

“I think when we all reflect on it, we try not to reflect on it often because it is extremely painful,” said Weber, who authored Assembly Bill (AB) 3121, signed into law in 2020, that created the California task force that is currently investigating the history and costs of slavery and discrimination in America – and the extent of California’s involvement.

Weber, providing a broad understanding of why she penned AB 3121, discussed how her family was forced out of Arkansas and fled to Southern California after her father attempted to organize union rights for sharecroppers.

Each participant shared personal stories and encouraged statewide support for literacy and biliteracy for all of California’s students.

“This has been an incredibly challenging year for our students, our educators, and their families,” Boyd said.

“The pandemic has shined a light on the challenges that our schools and communi-

ties face in serving the 6 million students in our system. I, along with my 310,000 educators, are ready to work with Superintendent Thurmond, Assemblymembers Bonta and Frazier, and the members of the task force to develop thoughtful strategies and policies for our youngest learners and also for the future of California public education.”

election. Women like LaTasha Brown, Melanie Campbell, Barbara Arnwine, and so many others crisscrossed the country, urging people to get out and vote. Sometimes it wasn’t an easy case to make. President Biden has been in public office long enough to have a record that energizes some and causes others to cringe.

Too many Black men (around 1 in 6) believed the hype and voted for Trump. As hard as that is to understand, it is reasonable to note that Black people are not a monolith, and we don’t vote in lockstep. That makes the Republican embrace of arch-conservative Larry Elder (he would have given reparations to slave owners) all the more cynical.

Some Republicans see Elder as the new face of conservatism. Others see him as a Black man who can hoodwink Black people into voting against their interests. One critic described him as “white supremacy in Blackface.” She was kind.

Elder is coyly considering a gubernatorial run against Newsom in 2022. He may have some momentum, having garnered 46% of the votes to replace Newsom, but given that Californians soundly rejected the recall effort, will he have the

numbers? His 46% of the 37% who voted in favor of the recall amounts to a paltry 14% or just one in seven votes. The California recall process distorts both the voting outcome and Elder’s relative unimportance.

Still, Elder isn’t going anywhere. The popular talk-radio host is likely to use his electoral experience to expand his audience and ratings. And with the help of Fox News, he may multiply his base. There is little or nothing that Democrats can do about Larry Elder, but there is plenty that we can do about pushing a Democratic agenda.

Democrats, just do your work. Organize, strategize, keep the momentum going.

Stop thinking that you have to “play nice” with Republicans because they sure ain’t playing nice with you. If you care about health care, education, clean air and water, economic justice, call it out. And if you care about the political space in which we live, say thank you to the Black women who helped make it happen.

The American Rescue Plan – the stimulus package passed by Congress in February and signed by President Biden in March – provided almost $2 trillion to help families, businesses, schools, and other institutions survive and recover from the COVID-19 economic crisis.

Congresswoman Lee and Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) successfully fought to include billions of dollars in the ARP and other COVID relief packages to increase equity in testing, tracing, and vaccinations, including funding for trusted messengers to reach communities that are historically and medically underserved.

Build It at the Coliseum and They Will Come!

Continued from page 1

their claims that they must have a downtown waterfront stadium. None of the potential Las Vegas sites are downtown, and there are no waterfronts in the entire state.

The Coliseum has it all. It has been a successful venue for decades. It has great access. It is in a tax-favored enterprise zone.

It is shovel-ready with none of the major environmental requirements that complicate the Howard Terminal site. Further, building at the Coliseum would be a life-changing boost to people living in an area that desperately needs major development.

The Oakland A’s have had a proud history in Oakland’s Black community. It brought us great heroes like Vida Blue, Rickey Henderson, Reggie Jackson, John “Blue Moon” Odom, Dave “Hendu” Henderson, Claudell Washington, Mike Norris and Dave Stew-

art who did much to promote Blacks in baseball and the wellbeing of our African American communities. Oakland was once a major incubator for future Black baseball stars. No longer! The A’s snub of East Oakland will cause the deterioration of Black baseball fans in Oakland to accelerate.

It is a shame that corporate greed is spoiling a wonderful history. We hope John Fisher and Dave Kaval wake up and see that their insulting behavior hurts Oakland’s Black community, baseball, and themselves.

In the coming weeks, this paper will continue to look at issues surrounding the A’s new stadium. Articles, opinions and commentaries will focus on Howard Terminal’s potential for gentrification of a historically Black neighborhood, disruption of industrial businesses, elimination of family sustaining wages, raiding of hundreds of mil-

lions of dollars of public funds that should be used for services like homelessness, housing for very low-income residents, public safety, street repairs, fire safety, how disrespecting Black communities has led to significant erosion of Black support for baseball throughout the nation, and more. Please stay tuned, and please raise your voice.

We want the A’s to build at the Coliseum. That would be great for the community, the team, and the relationship between A’s and Major League Baseball and Black people! If the A’s choose not to build at the Coliseum, perhaps they can sell the team to the African American Sports and Entertainment Group (AASEG) or a similar qualified owner group that would be happy to build a state-of-the-art stadium, entertainment and housing at the Coliseum. AASEG wants a level field where everyone in East Oakland has a fair and equal chance to succeed.
