18 OCT 2024 · There is this narrative out there that says Black men will not vote for VP KLamala Harris because she is a woman. I have never heard any man speak like that. Brothas are looking at policy as far as I know... And then in California, the California Legislative Black Caucus botched reparations vote advanced after the historic and detailed report delivered by the Reparations Task Force. Some say the bills were flawed. OThers say the bills' author was acting alone - a lone wolf. OThers say the fiscal capacity to administer reparations was not there. Whatever the case, to the everyman, it looks really crazy that our black politicians cant even come together on reparations. But is that the case? What happened? THe people deserve to know.
We are privileged to discuss these issues with Dr. Anthony Samad, Executive Director of theMervyn M. Dymally African American Political and Economic Institute at Cal State Dominguez Hills. Also joining us is the Controller of the California Democratic PArty and the Chair of the DSemocratic PArtyh WOmen's Caucus, Carolyn Fowler.
This is informative and frank talk.

30 APR 2024 · It's a sad story. In the 6th District near Martin Luther King Jr. Park, are various artistic expressions in homage to Dr. King. ON such expression of street art was a utility box adorned with a beautiful painting of Dr. King. Unfortunately, gang culture made thier presence known by defacing the face of Dr. King with the identification of thier set. It was tragic and alarmed many in the community. With the help of concerned residents, i was able to locate the artist and made provision for her to get reimbursed for the materials she would use to repaired the vandalism. By the time she got there, the City had already come through and whitewashed the entire box. The situation gives pause to examone public art policies, challenges and triumphs as the Arts Council of Long Beach fervently advocates for mural repair and maintenance policies within the City. Listen. Its fascinating

15 MAR 2024 · As we consider issues of the eelectorate, Reparations are an issue that is making its presence known in the halls of the California State Capitol. Cali is the only state to have created a Reparations Task force where legislators have undertaken a massive and comprehensive study of the issue of Reparations - the systemic cause in the history of the State, what would the award look like, who is entitled to compensation and many more considerations. We talk with Chris Lodgson of the grassroots advocacy organization Coalition for a Just and Equitable California. They have been working shoulder to shoulder with the Task Force and have a strong perspective on why we should receive reparations in the Golden State. Fascinating discussion.
