My God! I grew up in the heart of that area. My family lived near 7TH and Market. I attend MLK elementary and cole school. I remember Pon's Market and Adeline Cleaners. Oakland West Health Center. I walked those streets and recall names and faces. As an African-American those public housing is where we had our humble beginnings. My mom then earned her GED, graduated from nursing school and bought out first home. We made it. We lost a brother to gang violence and another one OD'd...that was the life of a Black family in West Oakland during the 70's and 80's.

Imagine if there was never a thing known as systematic racism handed down by those in city hall? We are seeing its negative impact today and will for likely our lifetimes. The new wave of “progressive” politicians and their voters are nearly as bad.
