Bruin Source is back with a new episode! More importantly, Kevin is back too, meaning this isn't gonna be another boring 1-man show! In this one we chat about the road that led to Calimony, how ridiculous the entire concept is and how it could point to further dangers of how the UC Regents handle athletics in the future. We also discuss UCLA's Big 10 schedule for MBB and what some of our way-too-early expectations are. Lastly, we have a quick spring sport roundup! Check it all out right here!

The dang vidya games...Yes, EA Sports has given us an EA College Football 25 deluxe edition cover to talk about, one that may or may not have the right six college stars prominently featured on it. If you look hard enough, you can see Noah Fifita right in front of Carson Beck, as well as Bill Walton and Big Bird leading the way out of the tunnel.As UCLA reluctantly left the Pac-12 for the Big Ten, the Bruins now have to pay Cal some alimony for their UC Regents divorce. Five annual payments of $10 million might be enough to cover some of their cross- country travel expenses.Also, Pete Lembo was running court as the unofficial host of Buffalo's Oozefest, which apparently has been a thing now for 40 years, just like Scooby-Doo. Where were you?John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) certainly had some thoughts on the most important offseason content in the early part of the week in the middle of May.

A new bill before the Regents of the University of California would ban political speech on the front pages of university-run websites. It was pushed after UC faculty criticized the administration's response to the October 7th attacks and has since been criticized as an attempt to target and silence pro-Palestinian speech. The board discussed the bill at the most recent Regents meeting yesterday. Here's a recap from KCSB's Joyce Chi.

UC Regents defer plan to hire undocumented students at their universities KCSB Ashley Segat has the story.

For the past two years, undocumented students at the University of California have campaigned to be allowed to work on campus. They argued that they were missing out on opportunities to work with professors and in labs, which could further their academic careers. But last week, UC Regents voted to halt a plan that would have allowed the university to hire them.

The funding represents a 14% increase over last year's allocation to the state.

The Supreme Court appears ready to abolish affirmative action later this year. The case seeking to declare it unconstitutional has schools that consider race in admissions worried about how they can continue to build diversity among their students without affirmative action.Here in California, though, we already know what happens when programs like affirmative action are banned. In 1996, voters passed a first ballot initiative in the country to ban the consideration of race or gender and public education.Today, how the University of California system has dealt with a 25-year ban on affirmative action. And what we can learn if a national ban does happen. Read the full transcript here. Host: Gustavo ArellanoGuests: L.A. Times reporter Teresa WatanabeMore reading:California banned affirmative action in 1996. Inside the UC struggle for diversityAre Asian American college applicants at a disadvantage? Supreme Court debate stirs fearColumn: Affirmative action challenges aren't about ending discrimination. Their goal is white supremacySome audio in this episode is courtesy of the William J.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champion hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio recapping the first two Pac-12 bowl games with Oregon State absolutely crushing Florida in the Las Vegas Bowl and Washington State getting absolutely crushed by Fresno State in the Los Angeles Bowl. Newly extended head coach Jonathan Smith led the Beavers to an incredible 10-win season (including field goal losses to USC and Washington), setting OSU up for what should be another impressive season in 2023. Jake Dickert's Cougars have more work to do, replacing both coordinators plus several transfers and finding an offense that is capable of getting the ball down the field. The guys also preview the final five bowl games for the Conference of Champions including Utah's second-straight Rose Bowl and USC heading to Texas for the Cotton Bowl. Oregon got some good news this weekend when quarterback Bo Nix announced that he would be returning to the team in 2023. The Pac-12 quarterback situation is as bright as it has ever been with Nix, Michael Penix coming back at Washington and of course Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams at USC. The UC Regents approved UCLA's departure for the Big Ten but the Bruins will likely be paying the University of California at Berkeley several million dollars per year to help out the Golden Bears athletic department. As always Dave and Ryan spend the last part of the show answering your voicemails, texts and emails with questions about Pac-12 football plus lots of other topics.

The Trojans now have three commitments via the transfer portal heading into 2023.I also go on a mini-rant following the UC Regents giving UCLA their approval to move forward with USC to the BIG 10 Conference.

Maggie LePique sits down with Dan Guerrero, an award-winning producer/director of diverse programming for network and cable television and of live arts and culture concert events at prestigious venues including the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion for the LA Opera and multiple events at the Kennedy Center in DC. The eclectic artist also tours with his autobiographical solo play ¡Gaytino! Made in America that was recently filmed and is screening at U.S. Film Festivals. Guerrero is also an influential activist for both the Latinx and LGBTQ communities and is a popular figure on the speaking circuit. But he is most proud of his work as an educator teaching the course ¡Gaytino! Performance and the Power of One at UCLA. That led to his appointment as a UC Regents lecturer jointly in the UCLA Cesar E. Chavez Chicano/a Studies and LGBTQ Departments. Dan and I discuss Linda Ronstadt's new Memoir Feels Like Home: A Song For The Sonoran Borderlands as well as the companion CD from Putumayo Records: Feels Like Home: Songs from the Sonoran Borderlands—Linda Ronstadt's Musical Odyssey.  In Feels Like Home, Grammy award-winning singer Linda Ronstadt effortlessly evokes the magical panorama of the Sonoran borderlands, a landscape etched by sunlight and carved by wind, offering a personal tour of the place where she came of age, built around meals and memories. Following her best-selling musical memoir, Simple Dreams, this book seamlessly braids together Ronstadt's recollections of people and their passions in a region little understood in the rest of the United States.The granddaughter of Mexican immigrants, Ronstadt celebrates the marvelous flavors and indomitable people on both sides of the border in this road trip through the high desert. Written in collaboration with Lawrence Downes and illustrated throughout with stunning photographs by Bill Steen, Feels Like Home features 20 recipes for traditional Sonoran dishes and a bevy of revelations for Ronstadt's admirers, including never-before-seen family photos. If this book were a radio signal, you might first pick it up on an Arizona highway, well south of Phoenix, coming into the glow of Ronstadt's hometown of Tucson. It would be playing the old canciones, from a time when the border was a place not of peril but of possibility.Putumayo has released Feels Like Home: Songs from the Sonoran Borderlands—Linda Ronstadt's Musical Odyssey, a musical accompaniment to the acclaimed singer's new book, Feels Like Home: A Song for the Sonoran Borderlands, published by Heyday Books. The musical collection was co-curated by Ronstadt and Putumayo founder Dan Storper and includes influential songs from her childhood and career, as well as several of her own interpretations of classic Mexican songs. Participating artists include legends and musical explorers Lalo Guerrero, Ry Cooder, Jackson Browne, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Neil Young, Taj Mahal and David Hidalgo. Source: https://lindaronstadt.com/book/feels-like-home/Source: https://www.putumayo.com/feels-like-homeSource: https://www.heydaybooks.com/catalog/feels-like-home/?utm_source=carousel&utm_id=flikSource: http://www.danguerrero.comThis episode is from an archive from the KPFK program Profiles adapted for podcast.Host Maggie LePique, a radio veteran since the 1980's at NPR in Kansas City Mo.

The University of California accepts millions of dollars each year in tax funding that supplies a steady stream of late-term fetal organs from pain-capable and viable children. These children are dismembered nearly half of the time without being euthanized. Research suggests that this results in born-alive infants in 50% of the cases.   The UC Regents oversees the entire University of California system and ensures the institution is functioning ethically. UCSF is violating fundamental human rights through its fetal organ harvesting and research policies. UC Regents need to be held accountable and change their dangerous policies.   Abortion alone is murder and barbarism. However, this is by far the most extreme and vile practice in American history.   Mark gets an update from AJ Hurley from Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust who is leading the effort to expose these atrocities. Also, Mark will respond to recent protests of Created Equal on campuses and answer the question, “Does Scripture forbid abortion?'   Please watch/listen, share, and leave a five-star review of the podcast.   The Mark Harrington Show is on Mark's Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube accounts.

Dan Lust is joined by Landis Barber (@LandisBarber) to help navigate this week's sports law news.  Kyler Murray signed a $230 million extension with the Arizona Cardinals, but it comes with an interesting addendum. (1:33) Murray's contract now includes a clause called the "independent study addendum" which requires Kyler to view game film for at least 4 hours per week during the season. If Kyler fails to comply with this clause then he can forfeit up to $100 million dollars. This also requires that Kyler must not be distracted by anything else, such as TV or videogmaes, while studying film. What do you think, is this a necessary clause? The entire College world is being shaken up between the transfer rule, NIL, and conference realignment. (10:25) Now, the latest news is unionization proposals from Penn State. The College Football Players Association (CFBPA) has sent demands to Kevin Warren, commissioner of the Big Ten, which include a share of conference revenue from media rights. Jeremy Evans (@JeremyMEvansESQ) joins to discuss the California College Sports world shake-up. (19:00) USC and UCLA will be leaving the PAC-12 to join the Big Ten starting in 2024, and this will make the Big Ten TV deals skyrocket with the coast to coast coverage of the conference. The other issue is can UC Regents force UCLA to share their profits with Cal. Does California Governor Gavin Newsom have the power to pull UCLA out of the deal because of their UC affiliation? The PAC-12 has no affiliation with the UC Regents, so Jeremy says no. Jeremy also breaks down the Penn State union proposal. (33:05) Jeremy discusses the Northwestern attempt at this years ago and why he doesn't think this will come to fruition. The NIL era has empowered players to make money and turned College Sports into the wild, wild west, but it might have impacted the possibility of unions down the line. *** Have a topic you want to write about?

In the second part of this Oncology, Etc. episode Drs. Patrick Loehrer (Indiana University) and David Johnson (University of Texas) continue their conversation with Dr. Susan Desmond-Hellmann, exploring the prominent leadership roles she held, from first female Chancellor at UCSF to CEO of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and member of Facebook's Board of Directors.

Guests on this podcast express their own opinions, experience, and conclusions. The mention of any product, service, organization, activity, or therapy should not be construed as an ASCO endorsement. PAT LOEHRER: Hi, Everybody. I'm Pat Loehrer. I'm director of the Centers of Global Health at Indiana University, Melvin and Bren Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center. DAVE JOHNSON: And I'm Dave Johnson. I'm Professor of Medicine here at UT Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, Texas. So Pat, we're back for another episode of the award winning "Oncology Et Cetera." PAT LOEHRER: Just seems like last month we were here time, you know? Time just flies. DAVE JOHNSON: Exactly. Before we get started, you were telling me about an interesting book you were reading-- something about friends or something. Can you elaborate? PAT LOEHRER: Sure, sure, yeah. This book I picked up-- actually, my wife picked it up. It's called First Friends. It's written by Gary Ginsburg. It's a really interesting book. It was-- basically talks about-- it probably has about eight or nine presidents but the importance of having a friend that guides him. And these were people that were, in many ways, unelected people that were close to the presidents that helped change the face of what we see today, and some of them are stories of really good friends and some of them are, I think, opportunistic friends. But it gives you a background of people like Madison and Lincoln and Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. It's actually a fun read. DAVE JOHNSON: I'll definitely put it on my reading list. It sounds like a pretty exciting one. Well, speaking of influential people, we're really excited to jump back into our interview with Dr. Helman. In our last episode, we covered her early life and career, her work in Uganda, her views on global oncology, and her experiences in private practice and industry. In the next half of our interview, we'll learn more about her incredible career and her multiple leadership roles. Let's start by hearing about her time as chancellor of UCSF. PAT LOEHRER: Let me transition a little bit. What I'd like to do is talk a little bit about your leadership. One Of the next big roles you had, you became chancellor at UCSF, correct? SPEAKER 2: Mm-hm. PAT LOEHRER: And so as Dave said, I think you were the first woman in that role. SPEAKER 2: I was. PAT LOEHRER: You were a groundbreaker from that capacity. So now instead of working for people-- obviously, I understand that there's people you work for when you're chancellor too, but tell a little bit about that transition from industry back into academics and how that felt in the role of being a leader and then maybe the responsibility of being the first female chancellor. SPEAKER 2: There were parts of being the chancellor at UCSF, I would say most parts of it, that I just thought were fantastic. I loved being back at a hospital and clinics. Just the way the hospital and clinical enterprise at UCSF works, the chancellor is the board. And so once a month, you'd have neurology or cardiology come and tell you about what had happened, quality control, things that had gone on and I would have done that all day long. I mean, it was just so interesting. It was so important to run a great clinical enterprise that getting back closer to patients and medicine I thought was fantastic. The other thing was the educational enterprise, and UCSF, as you know, has medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, nursing. I always tell people, no undergraduates, no English majors, no marching band. And the other chancellors reminded me, no athletic director, which apparently is a very good thing. So UCSF is a very special and unusual place. And I loved the science. I would show up at research seminars and things like that as often as I could. So there were so many parts of being at UCSF that I thought were just off the charts great. The hardest thing about being at UCSF-- being the first female chancellor, I think, was challenging but not in ways that you might expect. I was used to being a woman leader in medicine and biotech, which was unusual. So being the only woman in the room, being the first, wasn't new to me. But the thing that was hard on our family was there are roles for the spouse of the chancellor that fit more neatly into more of a classic female role, hosting things. There was a tea party for the wives of the faculty that the wife of the chancellor typically had. And for some reason, Nick didn't think that that suited him. We sort of laughed about that. DAVE JOHNSON: He can't make tea? SPEAKER 2: He can't make tea to save his life. And he's a strong introvert, which made it worse. I will tell you, some of the under-recognized, underreported people in life are spouses of chancellors and presidents of universities. And talk about unpaid labor-- my goodness! And so we sort of struggled with how did Nick show up, what did that look like. Because we didn't have any role models for what that looked like. I still laugh that Bill Clinton said he would be First Laddie. So when you have a pattern recognition, life is easier. And then being one of 10 chancellors at the UC system, I struggled a little bit with the UC Regents just because it felt-- I became chancellor in 2009, and we had some fiscal realities that we were dealing with. And the pace of the UC Regents and the format of the UC Regents, I actually made a proposal for UCSF to kind of break off from the other 9. And that was not well-received, got me in the newspaper. And I did not do that again. People saw it as disloyal and not very smart. But all in all, I thought then and think now that our public universities are absolutely-- they're treasures in America. And I was really proud to be a part of it and hope that I had made a contribution. DAVE JOHNSON: Speaking of leadership, what was it like to be CEO of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation? What caused you to step away from chancellor to philanthropy? PAT LOEHRER: It's not a step down. It's not a step down, basically. DAVE JOHNSON: It is not a step down. SPEAKER 2: So I would say a couple of things. First of all, Bill and Melinda pushed me hard to take the job. I was not looking to change. My husband worked at the Gates Foundation for a couple of years on HIV. So they knew us, and they knew Nick better than me. But they knew both of us. We awarded Melinda the University medal at UCSF. And to my great surprise and happiness, she accepted and came. I later think that she was using that as a reason to talk to me about the CEO job, but she got a twofer. And I was really compelled by the mission. Who wouldn't be? I was really compelled by the mission and the chance to get back into global health after the experience I had had in Uganda. But I'll tell you, it is the ambition of the Gate Foundation, the scope of the Gates Foundation, the resources, and the need to get something done. I tell you, it is hard work. It is really hard work-- from China to India to all of the continent of Africa and then US education. Throw that in on top of things. So I was thrilled to be a part of driving the agenda and the mission. Some really talented people who are working very hard at the Gates Foundation-- I was surprised, especially on US education, with the amount of pushback. And I worked really hard to be successful at working with Bill, who's known as a tough character and lived up to that mutation. DAVE JOHNSON: Good to know, just in case he calls Pat or me. PAT LOEHRER: Yeah, yeah, I'm not going to get a medal at UCSF either. So that's a-- DAVE JOHNSON: You never know, Pat. PAT LOEHRER: It's a non-starter. And this may not apply to you, but there's a lot of maybe disproportionate number of women who feel they suffer from this imposter syndrome. To be honest, Dave and I have talked about that. We both feel in that syndrome too. But along the way, I mean, if you think about growing up in Reno, Nevada, and suddenly now being a chancellor and head of the Gates Foundation, the National Academy of Science, was there ever this sense of the, wait a minute, you know, what's going on? Is this real? SPEAKER 2: For me, there has always been that sense. There has always been that sense, and I look at it as I hope there always will be that sense-- that the kind of need to demonstrate your value. And there's a part of the imposter syndrome that is humility and not overestimating what you can do. And so on my best days, I think that leads me to say I've got to work with really terrific people. My job is to bring out the best in others. If I lead, it's because there's a great thing we're going to accomplish, and I can help people see where we're going together. And so I definitely have had imposter syndrome. But the one thing that I probably overused and kind of grew to like too much was the thing of people underestimating me and then proving them wrong. That gets a little wearying after a while. It's like, OK, we're going to waste some time while you decide whether I'm worthy or whether I can do this. And let's not waste that time. Why don't you assign to me-- give me some confidence, and I'll live up to that. And I mentioned Art Levinson was my boss for most of the time I was at Genentech. And he had no time for imposter syndrome. He was like, look, how many promotions do you have to get before you think, OK, I can get this done? He thought that was sort of-- he just didn't have time for it. We have things to do, and he had jobs to get done. And one of the things I loved about him is he would constantly push me to say, you're capable of more than you think you are, which I think is the sign of a fantastic manager, which he was and is. And so I've tried to push myself to do that. And the thing is, like, you can do this. Come to me for help. We'll make sure you succeed, but don't underestimate yourself. And I think that's a consequence of imposter syndrome is both wasting time proving yourself and not taking on something that you think, actually, let me give that a try and stack the deck in favor of succeeding. And so I think that's the thing that-- there's a certain fierceness that I've always had that I like about myself that, like, of course we will succeed. Failure is not an option. Of course we will succeed. And I think that comes from working on things that I value a lot and care about a lot. PAT LOEHRER: You have been on a number of different boards, including Pfizer as well as Facebook. And in that capacity, you've seen a lot of leaders. Can you talk a little bit about the strengths and the weakness of various leaders as well as serving on the boards and the capacities of the different companies? SPEAKER 2: Yeah, well, first, let me say I know ASCO is actually a really good about being careful about conflicts of interest and things like that, and I am too. So when I became chancellor at UCSF and then CEO at the Gates Foundation, I avoided being on life sciences boards. And so I got asked a lot by Biotech and pharma boards to be on their boards. Initially, I joined Procter Gamble's board, where I served for, I think, about six years. And then I joined Facebook's board. And those were both fantastic experiences. And I actually joined the boards for two very different reasons. One, P&G's board, I wanted to learn about branding and consumers. And I felt like in medicine, I didn't really learn about consumers or branding as much as I needed to or might. And then Facebook's board I joined because as Dave mentioned, I was with Charles Sawyers. We wrote the precision medicine report for the National Academy. And I really love-- to this day, I love the concept of using the social network to connect people. There was sort of an infamous story or famous story-- it's actually a good story-- of patients with a certain form of myeloma who found each other on Facebook and went to Genentech and said, make a new medicine for those of us with this genetic abnormality. And we'll all enroll in a trial. And so these connections to me felt really powerful on precision medicine. And so getting to work with CEOs at Procter and Gamble, the CEO Mark Zuckerberg at Facebook, I do see the really different attributes of leaders. But when you're a board member, you see those attributes of leaders with a very different lens. What's the return to shareholders? How does the community think about them? What's the impact-- and increasingly for Facebook, what's the impact on the world? What's the impact on our social discourse and our ability to have a free and fair election? A lot of those things became much more operative on the Facebook board while I was on the board and really tough social issues that continue to this day. DAVE JOHNSON: Yeah, so we could go on for another hour, hour and a half, but I have one question to ask you which may seem a little bit silly in retrospect. But if you could look back on your youthful self at 21 or 22 knowing what you know now, with all the things that you've done during the course of your career, what advice would you give yourself? And perhaps I'll addend that by saying what advice would you give particularly to young women in the medical profession who are trying to balance that work-life balance that everyone talks about and worries about and struggles with, quite frankly. SPEAKER 2: I'll give you one thing I should have done better and one thing that I think I did well. So the advice on the one thing I should have done better, I think slow down a little bit and take a bit more time for fun and enjoyment. I was extremely worried about money when I was in college, and being number two of seven-- every summer, I worked. I remember at one point in medical school, I had three weeks off, and I got a job for those three weeks at a deli making sandwiches. And I went to college for three years, crammed it into three years so I wouldn't have to pay for the fourth year. So I just think that I could have taken on more loans. I could have done some things to just dial it down a bit because you don't get those years back. And that's such a great time of your life when you're 21, 22, something like that. So I wish I'd have just slowed down a bit and not been so driven for those seven years of university and medical school that I really just either worked or studied all the time. The thing that I feel like I did well, and I would say this to anybody who's going into medicine, is there's so many opportunities. There's so many wonderful things to do. But whoever your spouse is, whoever your partner in life is, take the time and energy to make sure that's the right person for you. I feel so blessed. Actually, my husband, who I've mentioned several times in this discussion, Nick, was my roommate in San Francisco when I was an intern, like real roommate. And we've been roommates ever since. And we're very compatible. He's one of seven kids too. It's another Catholic school kid. And we just have fun together and support each other. And there's no way I could have taken these crazy jobs or done the kinds of things I've done without Nick. So having a wonderful, supportive partner makes everything better. DAVE JOHNSON: That definitely resonates with Pat and me. We're both very blessed to have wives and spouses of, for me, it's 52 years. I can't remember, Pat. Yours is close. PAT LOEHRER: I had my first date with my wife 50 years ago, yeah. DAVE JOHNSON: Yeah. SPEAKER 2: OK, so you guys know what I'm talking about. PAT LOEHRER: Absolutely. DAVE JOHNSON: Yeah. PAT LOEHRER: Yeah. DAVE JOHNSON: Go ahead, Pat. PAT LOEHRER: I was going to ask a question that you probably may have already answered there, but Bob Woodward just came out of an interview with Colin Powell. One of the last questions he asked him was if he could reflect on that one person that was a moral compass for him. And so for you, that one person, alive or dead, that has been not the most powerful person you've met but the one that's really influenced you the most in terms of giving you direction, who would that be for you? SPEAKER 2: Probably, if I look at through line the entire time I've been alive, it would be my dad. He had the ability to look at a room and find the person who was struggling and go over to them. And I really loved that about my dad. PAT LOEHRER: I love it. DAVE JOHNSON: One last question. So we're at the top of the hour, and I know you're a very busy person. Pat and I love to read, but we're also documentary fiends and whatnot. We're interested. What have you read recently that really resonated with you? Do you have a recommendation for us? SPEAKER 2: I will say during the pandemic, I've gotten back into reading biographies, which I love. DAVE JOHNSON: Yeah. SPEAKER 2: So I did the Caro, Lyndon Baines Johnson, which, Master of the Senate is really good. But my favorite book of the last two years is The Code Breaker, Walter Isaacson's book about Jennifer Doudna. DAVE JOHNSON: Yeah. SPEAKER 2: One of the things I love about Walter Isaacson is he teaches you science through his biographies. Like, I think I understand relativity based on his Einstein biography, which is great. But The Code Breaker is really super good. DAVE JOHNSON: Yeah, we both read it. We couldn't agree with you more. PAT LOEHRER: Love it. Love it. DAVE JOHNSON: So Sue, again, it's been a real honor to have you as our guest, and we really appreciate the time you've taken. Thank you so much, and we hope you enjoy the beautiful weather in Alamo California, and I hope it does turn green and the rain continues for you. SPEAKER 2: Thank you so much. It's been my pleasure. Thank you both. DAVE JOHNSON: Take care. SPEAKER 2: Bye. DAVE JOHNSON: I want to take the moment to thank our listeners for tuning in to "Oncology Et Cetera," an ASCO educational podcast where Pat and I really will talk about anything and everything.

"A Dubious Expediency: How Race Preferences Damage Higher Education" is a collection of eight essays written by experts in the field examining and analyzing the impact of racial diversity preferences and identity politics in American colleges and universities. The book's title comes from a 1976 California Supreme Court opinion in Bakke v. UC Regents authored by Justice Stanley Mosk, who wrote: "To uphold the [argument for race-preferential admissions] would call for the sacrifice of principle for the sake of dubious expediency and would represent a retreat in the struggle to assure that each man and woman shall be judged on the basis of individual merit alone, a struggle which has only lately achieved success in removing legal barriers to racial equality." In the book, the authors take up the question of race-based preferences in higher education, arguing that mounting empirical evidence shows race-based solutions cause long term harm both to intended beneficiaries and to society as a whole.Featuring:- Gail Heriot, Professor of Law, University of San Diego School of Law- Maimon Schwarzschild, Professor of Law, University of San Diego School of LawVisit our website – www.RegProject.org – to learn more, view all of our content, and connect with us on social media.

About two dozen people rallied in front of 1921 Walnut St. Monday afternoon against UC Berkeley's plans to buy and possibly tear down the rent-controlled building to make way for student housing. https://kpfa.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/KAYE-1921-Walnut-Street-protest.mp3 jQuery(document).ready(function($) { var media = $('#audio-338621-94'); media.on('canplay', function (ev) { this.currentTime = 0; }); });   By Danielle Kaye (@danielledkaye) On April 17, tenants of the rent-controlled apartment building located at 1921 Walnut St. in Berkeley encountered an unwelcome surprise: a letter from the University of California Regents stating that they may be forcibly displaced from their homes. It wasn't an eviction notice, but rather, a vague statement of the university's intent to buy the property and eventually redevelop it for student housing. “It was in the middle of a pandemic — the city of Berkeley, state of California, much of the country was in a shutdown. So we were ordered to stay at home,” said Natalie Logusch, has been living in the apartment complex for about 10 years. “It was a Friday night, and I remember walking up the steps and seeing envelopes mailed to all the doors, and feeling a little weird about that, and reading the letter.” “It was utterly confusing, and frankly very intimidating,” Natalie said. “And seeing that UC letterhead — you know, UC has incalculable resources, money, power. What are we gonna do against them? And that letter — it wasn't asking us, ‘Oh, what do you guys think? We're thinking of changing your neighborhood, changing your building.' They put us on notice. It was like, ‘You're going to be displaced, you're going to have to move. And here's what's going to happen.' If I have to move, I'm going to lose my home, my work, my friends, my community. Everything I built here in ten and a half years is just gone in an instant.” Devon Riddick first moved into his apartment in the rent-controlled complex in 1989. He was a student at Berkeley High School at the time. “The affordable rent that we have here is making it possible for us to stay here. So if we're displaced, then we'll have to move into a more expensive apartment, and we probably won't be able to live here in Berkeley anymore,” Devon said. UC Berkeley is a state institution, so it doesn't have to abide by the city of Berkeley's rent control measures that protect against unwarranted rent increases and evictions. The university also isn't required to build new rent-controlled units to replace the ones they might demolish. “UC is exempt from any local control — both zoning and housing. So they have a state exemption,” said John Selawsky, a Berkeley Rent Board commissioner and member of the steering committee of the Berkeley Tenants Union. John, along with the tenants of 1921 Walnut St., organized a protest against the UC's plans Monday afternoon, in front of the apartment building.  “The first ask — and we're not asking anything other than this right now — is: don't buy the building, or if you buy the building, don't demolish the building. Just let the tenants remain here, maybe until they attrition out. That would be a solution for these tenants,” John said. Senate Bill 330, known as the Housing Crisis Act of 2019, is a state law aimed at removing local barriers to housing production. “There is the Housing Crisis Act of 2019, which we think applies. There may be a legal argument. But that would have to be adjudicated. We'll see what happens,” John explained. The protest drew support from city officials Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin and Councilmember Kate Harrison, who sent representatives from their offices to voice concern about the UC's proposed acquisition of the property. Stephen Elgstrand spoke on behalf of the mayor about what he characterized as the university's disregard for the city's ‘three P's' of affordable housing: production, preservation, and protection.  “So when it comes to the case of 1921 Walnut St., the university is following one the P's, production, but it's doing so at the expense of the other two P's: preservation and protection,” Stephen said. “We simply do not accept that.” According to a statement sent to KPFA from Kyle Gibson, the communications director for UC Berkeley's real estate development arm, the university has entered into a purchase contract with the owners of 1921 Walnut St., but the sale has not closed. He said there is “no imminent action planned regarding the property, and residents can plan on remaining in the building for at least several months,” adding that the campus would prepare relocation payouts for the residents if it moves forward with demolition. But Kim Romero, one of the tenants, says they've been largely left in the dark about the university's plans. “It felt like it wasn't very transparent with their communication with us. We had to find out most of the information by Googling and going online,” Kim said. Kim says she found out about the university's so-called Gateway Student Housing Project on her own. The plan is to build student housing on the entire block, demolishing buildings adjacent to 1921 Walnut St. that the university already owns. While the protesters acknowledged the dire need for more student housing, they say student housing shouldn't come at the expense of affordable housing for the broader Berkeley community. Andrea Henson from the Eviction Defense Center says this one case raises larger questions about the UC Regents' role in protecting affordable housing statewide. “This is the foundation of the exact movement that's happening across the state and across the country — to prevent displacement,” Andrea said. “There's no reason to tear this down. We have all this commercial space that the UC could use.” This story aired on UpFront on July 1, 2020. The post Berkeley tenants and officials protest UC Berkeley's planned eviction & demolition of affordable housing appeared first on KPFA.

What if the police violence is purposeful to traumatize communities in order to continue the colonizing effect? Can we change the job requirements to be a police officer?

How do we explain everything that is happening in this world to our children without scaring them? How do we prepare our children to deal with racism?

Discussion Topics: Did Covid-19 create a catalyst for change in this country and other countries? How do we create a new normal that is inclusive? This is a painful time, but it is also a hopeful time. We must be encourage by the bravery and tenacity of this upcoming youthful generation. The murder of George Floyd and the lives of all the people that were cut short will give us life and gives freedom. How do we build a world where the children of today do not get to know the kind of oppression experienced by the past? How has the police historically used violence to create and enforce the category of “people of color?” Why do some people tell us to wait and be patient for society to change, when we stand on the benefit of generations before us that were impatient and fought to change things for the better? The movement of protest is representative of the United States because “every community” is standing in solidarity in support that Black lives matter. Is this the beginning of revolutionary change? “A taste of freedom is what I long for…”- Denise Spencer We owe the mass movement of uprising our hope. How did the Covid-19 shelter in place protocols create a population of greater awareness? How do we make peace with the contradictions of aspiration stories of liberty and freedom, while understanding that the United States was built on legally supported inequality? Can the police be both good and bad? What is the effect being able to prove police abuse through video? Racism is a mechanism of control to help the people in the money maintain their status. The increments of change that we have seen in our lifetime come from the type of revolutionary action we see today. This is not the time to throw up our own roadblock in our minds, we must the people fighting for a better world. We owe it to people protesting on the streets, to let go of our [academic] rhetoric and join them. The days of oppression will end, we demand police reform. Why did the White House put a second fence?

Discussion Topics: For many of us, the shelter in place did not decrease vulnerabilities but intensified our threat levels. Why is risk of death from Covid-19 greater for the African American community than other communities? Many people feel more vulnerable to risk of physical injury from others than from contracting Covid19 Depending on the skin tone, some us wear the mask and signal a threat Why can some people wear bandanas as masks without activating alarm? Are police shifting their practices away from targeting bandanas as suspicion and instead moving toward bandanas as safe? How did the narrative of African-a American communities being more at-risk of contracting Covid-19, result in a heightened fear of African American communities in public? Are the prior systems of violence also quarantined? People that were hungry before the Covid-19 shelter in place policy are now more hungry under the Covid19 quarantine efforts.

Are we desensitized from seeing people coded as Black being killed? What is the history in United States displaying dead Black bodies? How do we internalize the multiple examples of violence toward the Black community and express it our families? How do we make sense of he killing of Ahmaud Arbery within the context of Covid-19? What is the history of lynching as state sanctioned violence? Why is there a debate of whether the killing of Ahmaud Arbery was a form of racism? How do we define racism? Is the release of Travis McMichael and Gregory McMichael a form of state sanction of their acts? Is racism as American as apple pie? What are the first legal codes that identify people as Black? Why did Travis McMichael and Gregory McMichael suspect robbery if Ahmaud Arbery was jogging? Is every person that jogs suspected of having committed a crime? What are the dictionary associations with the colors black, brown, yellow, red and white? How does our language rewrite our codes of inequality? If we invest in understanding the system, we can build a better future. Why is self-love and self-appreciation threatening to a system that relies on inequality? Why can't some of run in public because it is perceived as threatening? Have you read the book Bad boys by Ann Ferguson? -Have you seen the film Juice? Why is there a stigma associated with wearing a hoodie? Why do we have to sacrifice our comfort so other people can be more comfortable? Where do people get their ideas about racial prototypes and stigma? If Mexicans, Native Americans and Asians were also Lynched, then why do we only associate lynching with Black communities? .

Erik, Sean, Donnie, and Brandee are here with late appearance by Special Guest Nick. We talk about Game 5 of the Warriors Vs Raptors NBA finals in anticipation for Game 6 today. It's a weird episode because it's not like the others because we talk about sports a lot. Also we talk about conspiracy theories including the well known theory that no one has ever seen the faces of the members of the shadowy organization known as the UC Regents.

Tim Recker is the CIO of the $2.4 billion James Irvine Foundation.  He joined the foundation in 2016 after spending a decade in private equity and real assets for the University of California Regents, four years overseeing Alternatives at the Michigan Retirement System, and his early years at GE Asset Management Our conversation covers Tim’s career path, the culture and structure at GE and Michigan Retirement, and co-investments at UC Regents. We then turn to the intricacies of managing a highly concentrated portfolio of managers at Irvine, including effective governance. flexibility, team structure, due diligence, and decision making. We close with Tim’s perspectives on hedge funds, real estate and fixed income, and the tradeoffs in preparing for a downturn.

KZSC News ~ 15 Mar 2018 San Francisco Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson resigns Santa Cruz unveils citywide neighboorhood policing plan Toxins found in SF Bay Area shellfish UC Regents meet at UC Los Angeles More online at kzsc.org

Krista and Henry from Socialist Students at UCLA visited Ground Game HQ to talk about the upcoming UC Regents meeting. We discussed the tuition burden, the Regents' seeming apathy towards students, and how students are organizing to take back their campuses. For more info you can visit SocialistStudents.net or check them out on Facebook. The UC Regents will be meeting March 13th to March 15th on the UCLA campus.

UC Berkeley Professor Dr. Gray Brechin gives a history lesson of San Francisco's "Imperial Dreams", drawing on the model of Ancient Rome. He discusses the immense environmental impacts that mining and logging had on the city's contado (Italian for hinterland). He argues that the technological advancements in mining played a key role in warfare and of all things the skyscraper, and that thanks to fracking California's attitude to new energy less resembles leadership and more one-foot-on-the-accelerator-one-foot-on-the-brake.  Dr. Brechin shares the large and uncomfortable role that UC Berkeley (and the wider UC Regents) had and still has in the development and delivery systems of nuclear weapons, lifting Ernest Lawrence to heroic status, while largely ignoring the role of J. Robert Oppenheimer.  His three wishes include Prop. 13 reform, investing in public education and that the digital generation puts down their devices long enough to see what's really going on.  He closes this first part with the real danger under which Californians place themselves in their built environment, sharing among others, the real risk of fire in the next big earthquake, repeating San Francisco's catastrophic experience of 1906.  Part two, to be aired later this month, will include Mono Lake's near-death experience and how Dr. Brechin and his colleagues used the public interest doctrine in the early 1980s to save it. Other themes include the West's water wars, the dismantling of large projects, Governor Pat and Jerry Brown's legacies, bullet trains and his favourite place. Gray Brechin is the author of Imperial Dreams: Urban Power, Earthly Ruin and Farewell, Promised Land - Waking from the California Dream, both published by UC Press.  www.graybrechin.net

    In this month (March, that is), we have been examining famous marches in history like the Bloody Sunday march from Selma to Montgomery in 1965. Of course, we know that the marches did not make it all the way to Montgomery on that fateful day. But they did make the march to Montgomery a few days later—and that was also an historic moment in the civil rights movement.    Another famous march was the iconic March on Washington—also known as the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. In the second wiki history podcast on marches, we examined less famous marches and we focused on marches in only one city: Oakland, California. Remember we chose Oakland, California because it has been called—and rightly so—a hotbed of radical activism.  We discussed marches in that city like the 12-man march (remember,  it was about racial profiling) and the marches in support of Oscar Grant, Alan Blueford and other young Black men killed by law enforcement.  And we briefly mentioned Oakland’s African American mayors: Lionel Wilson and Elihu Harris as well as Oakland congressional representatives namely, Ron Dellums and Barbara Lee. I didn’t have time in that podcast to mention some of the even more radical activists in Oakland at that time like the Black Panthers (who had a strong grassroots  presence in the community by providing school lunches, teaching self-defense courses and monitoring police activity in Oakland’s black neighborhoods). And I really wish that we had time to discuss the incredible and brave Angela Davis who was involved in grassroots activism but also studied and worked on at the international level. But she was based in Oakland and has maintained strong ties there.  Angela Davis is a powerful and incredible activist and scholar who was and continues to have a strong presence in the legal, educational and activist communities.    These marches were important and remembered for many different reasons.  But today’s wiki history podcast will move away from discussing individual marches and instead look at the larger picture of why we marched and whether marching is still a useful tool in the struggle for civil rights—yes, the struggle for equality and justice, the struggle for civil rights continues today.  So we will consider whether marches are effective and useful today.   Before we begin, let me just mention again two books and DVDs about famous marches.  This is the Day: The March on Washington and March from Selma to Montgomery—both are great books that will give you a great introduction to these marches.  Two great DVDs are Selma, Lord Selma and March on Washington.  I just mention these sources if you want more information about marching but you can find and purchase these and other books and DVDs on the website at robinlofton.com or rememberinghistory.com. You can also find more information and commentary on Black history and current events and leave your own comments there. I love to hear from the listeners and get your opinions on whatever moves you that day.  Hope to see you there.   Okay, let’s discuss why we march and what marches are about.   Marching is one tool of non-violent civil disobedience or non-cooperation created by Mahatma Gandhi during the movement to free India from British rule, which was secured in August of 1947.  In fact, one of the biggest acts of non-cooperation was the Salt March which attacked Britain’s monopoly on salt. In response, the British government actually invited Gandhi to London for a roundtable conference at which the British conceded large amounts of power to the Indian people. And, yes, this eventually led to their independence. Dr. Martin Luther King, who studied the philosophy of Gandhi during his doctoral program, was a great admirer of the spiritual and political leader. And he also strongly believed in his philosophy of non-violence and non-cooperation. As we know, Dr. King brought this philosophy to his work in the civil rights movement.   The march is one form of non-violent disobedience that Dr. King learned from Mahatma Gandhi and that was used during the civil rights movement. It continues to be used today. In many ways, it is used even more than in the past. Social media, like Facebook and Twitter, have made it possible to organize marches within minutes.  Mass media starting with television and, more recently, the Internet have made it possible for people to watch and participate in marches, hear the messages of the marchers, and to experience remotely the emotion of the march and the marchers.   But what does marching really accomplish? Great question. Let’s look at some answers.    1.    Attention. Marching brings attention to an issue. As I just said, a march does draw publicity.  The media appear. People post pictures to Instagram, Twitter or other social media on their phones. Marching can easily go viral. People around the world can quickly hear about a march and hear the message of the protesters.  This can encourage people to sympathize with the marchers’ message and even join the marchers. The larger numbers draw even more attention and support.    2.    Solidarity. Marching can bring solidarity to an issue.  As people hear the message, more people who are affected by the issue will be drawn to the march.  The increased solidarity gives additional power to the message.  Politicians are often forced to listen to the demands of the marchers.  (Remember the March on Washington helped Dr. King and the SCLC to get a meeting with President Kennedy. The Selma march helped the SCLC to get a meeting with President Johnson. Strong marches open doors to the right people, the decision makers.   3.    Platform.  A march creates a forum where people can publicly state their demands. Often there are speeches that discuss the issue and state the demands.  Sometimes, there will be written material like pamphlets or brochures or bumper stickers that will be distributed so people can state their position on a particular issue. I recently watched a march by students at UC Santa Cruz who were upset about tuition increases. Students carried signs and banners, wore shirts that stated their position, and gave speeches.  I watched the march on the news from another part of the state and was moved by the passion of the students. Very effective march.   4.    Not violent.  Okay, sometimes marches can turn violent. Whenever there is a large group of people who are angered or saddened or feeling any other strong emotion, there is the possibility that violence can erupt.  Sometimes, it is violence by the protesters but we have also seen cases when violence was started by law enforcement that overreact with deadly force. Other times, people or groups who oppose the marchers cause violence to erupt. . Violence is how marches can go wrong.       But let’s slow down here. Most marches are not violent. Most marches are peaceful and organized. Most marches are almost like picnics where people (adults and children alike) carry signs, listen to speeches, walk slowly down the street or even chant.  Remember the march where people actually laid down and chanted “I can’t breathe” to  oppose the killing of Eric Garner. Or remember the Oakland march in which African American men walked together, dressed in suits to oppose racial profiling. There was no violence but the marches made a strong visual impact.     5.    Positive outcome. A march that has gone well can have a very positive impact by bringing people together, voicing the message, spreading the message and getting lots of attention from the right people.  As Dr. King stated, the “aftermath of nonviolence is reconciliation and the creation of a beloved community.” I remember watching the movie, Selma, and noticed people’s faces changing as they watched the marchers on television. People who were opposed or indifferent to the march, felt compelled to travel to Alabama to join the marchers crossing the bridge.  Five months after the bloody Sunday march in Selma, President Johnson introduced the Voting Rights Act.   I must admit, though, that there has not been such dramatic action or change following the marches about the killing of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown or Eric Garner.  The tuition fee hike remains in effect at UC Santa Clara. Racial profiling is still being used against African Americans. However, the issues have been brought communities together, defined the issues, brought attention and created some positive feelings of reconciliation. No, marches have not solved all of society’s problems. But I do believe that they have brought communities together and helped people to feel empowered to make change.   I just want to end with a look at Dr. King’s views on marching as a form of non-violent resistance. He admits that it has challenges and it also requires a larger outlook than many people have—and a longer term view than many people want.   In a speech at UC Berkeley in 1957, Dr. King noted stated that nonviolence “is not a method for cowards.” But he further noted that it does resist. It does resist. He said, “this method is passive physically but strongly active spiritually; it is nonaggressive physically but dynamically aggressive spiritually.” Wow, he’s saying that marching is not easy and it requires a person to look deep within themselves.   In the same speech, he made another very interesting point that I think that we MUST remember.  Nonviolent resistance does not seek to defeat or humiliate the opponent but to win his friendship and understanding. I know that sounds hard and contradictory to what we’re feeling. Who wants to be friends with law enforcement when they fail to protect but instead shoot 12-year kids? I don’t think that going-to-a-ballgame-together friendship is what he’s visioning but instead that the wrongdoer would develop a connection with the protester. Empathy and compassion would be the outcome on both sides.  Change would be inevitable.   Another point that Dr. King stated was that the attack is directed against the forces of evil rather than against the persons who are caught up in those forces. See the separation?  The person is not evil but caught up in an unjust and unfair situation.  He states, “The tension is at bottom between justice and injustice.” It is not between us or them. It is between right and wrong.  It’s important to remember that distinction.  And in his usual deep way, he stated in a sermon in Montgomery about the oppressor, to “let him know that you are merely seeking justice for him as well as yourself.”  Again, wow! I don’t know how many people remember that while marching but it is so important to remember this position—to keep the focus clear and steady.   So, let’s wrap up this  wiki history podcast about whether marching is effective. Of course, there are many different views. Mine is that, yes, marching is effective. Very effective.  Sometimes, it has immediate results that get a person released from unjust imprisonment (remember Malcolm X and the Nation of Islam marched to get medical attention and the immediate release of a fellow brother).  Or to get laws passed like the Voting Rights Act or the Matthew Sheppard and James Byrd prohibiting hate crimes.    Other times, it gets the attention and solidarity of people around the country or even the world. Marching defines and clarifies issues. Marching gets the issues stated and proclaimed. Marching gives a voice to the community.  It gives power to the individual. It gives us an outlet to release emotion and shout our dissension. I believe in marching. I have participated in marches and have felt their energy and seen their effects. I go back to my student days when we marched against apartheid in South Africa. We demanded that the UC Regents divest our money from the country.  And, eventually, they did. Marching worked.  And we as students were empowered, we were unified, and we were focused by marching. It works.   Well, those are my thoughts and experiences in marching. I would love to hear yours at robinlofton.com or rememberinghistory.com. This is a place for freedom of speech and thought. This is a place for the healthy and active exchange of ideas.    This was the final podcast in the wiki history lecture series on marches. I hope that you enjoyed it. I really did. I hope to see you next month when this wiki history podcast series continue with its April podcasts.    The April podcasts will focus on individual stories of people who made a difference in civil rights or human rights.  Some of these people were briefly mentioned or shown in Selma. I was so happy to see or hear their names—it made me want to discuss them further. Their courage and contributions should not just be mentioned but proclaimed and remembered for the entire world to recognize. One important thing about history is that it is full of individual stories. We should never lose sight of the individual. Ever.   I hope to see you next month. Actually, I hope to see you every day at rememberinghistory.com to voice your opinions, read the bodacious blog or so that you can examine the resources that I have mentioned in these podcasts.   Hope to see you soon at rememberinghistory.com where we are remembering history and we’re making history.   Bye for now!    

Welcome back to robinlofton.com!  This is the place where we are remembering history and the place where we are making it. March is an interesting month: winter melts into spring, schools take a long—and much-needed break and many of us are still on a high from last month’s Black history month celebrations and remembrances. With all the great stories, achievements, and contributions, Black history month is a very hard act to follow. But March does have its strengths.  This month, the theme will be marches. You know, when people get out and march, protest and make demands on the government for changes, improvements and justice.  I’m talking about that important and powerful form of protest: marching.    Yes, in March, we will discuss marches. We’ll discuss famous marches. We’ll discuss not-so-famous marches.  We will also examine why we march.  And, during March month—and every month—I would love to hear from you if you’ve ever been involved in a march. What was it like? What were you marching about?  What do you think of marching? Was it effective?  In short, I want to hear from you about your marching experiences.   I can begin with one of my marching experiences. I was an undergrad at UCLA.  During the 1980s (yes, I’m revealing my age bracket here), the United States was one of the last countries to maintain economic ties with South Africa. This was during the time when South Africa was in the grip of apartheid. The Black Students Association (or BSA as it is known by people in the know) organized several large marches on campus to demand that the UC Regents divest our funds from South Africa. We also demanded a full economic boycott against South Africa while it maintained the system of apartheid and while Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu and other members of the ANC remained in prison. Today, we know how the story ended:  Apartheid was dismantled. South Africa became an isolated symbol of racism throughout the world. And Nelson Mandela was freed from prison and became the first Black African president of South Africa. We know that he was much more than that—his legacy of power, peace, equality, and justice endure today, long after his death. And the other political prisoners were released.  Did the Black Student marches accomplish all that?  Probably not—at least not alone. But these marches were happening all over the country and I think that we all contributed to dismantling apartheid and making South Africa into a free and democratic country.  The marches at UCLA—all non-violent I should add—were events that brought us together as a community working towards a single and just cause.  We felt empowered and strong. We felt unity (remember Umoja (in Swahili) from the first day of Kwanzaa?) and a collective passion to join the struggle with people thousands of miles away who desired equality, justice and freedom.  To answer my own questions: Were our marches effective? Absolutely. Would I do it again?  I already have!  But that’s for another podcast.   Let’s back up and do a bit of housecleaning before we begin part 1 of the marches podcast series.   I hope that you enjoyed the Black History month wiki history podcasts where we answered basic questions about Black History Month: What is it?  Who started it and why?  And one of the most relevant questions (which also happened to be the most popular podcast of the month): do we still need Black History month?  That presented a great question and really made people think about why, with a Black president, we continue to need Black history month. In fact, I remember seeing the hashtag #28daysisnotenough.  It really isn’t so I will continue to learn, remember and honor Black history.  If you haven’t listened to the Black history month wiki podcasts, please take a bit of time to go back to them. They are not long. Remember that they’re wiki lectures. That means (in the Hawaiian language), that you can learn a lot really fast.       One more thing before I forget and before we start discussing famous marches:  robinlofton.com is taking a new name. This website, podcast, and blog will be called rememberinghistory.com.  I will still be the host and the front person but the name will change to reflect more closely my real goal. To remember history. To honor history. To learn from and be inspired by history. And, ultimately, to make history.  So, rememberinghistory.com.  There’s nothing that you need to do.  You can go to robinlofton.com where you’ll be forwarded to rememberinghistory.com. Or you can, of course, just visit rememberinghistory.com. Looking forward to seeing you there.   Now for the marches.               I know as I begin this podcast, you might be thinking about the blockbuster historical movie, Selma.  That’s great. I love historical movies because they help to bring history to life and remind us of the important events in history—even if they were not so long ago. And Selma, Alabama was the scene of an important march on what has come to be known as Bloody Sunday. It was March 7, 1965. There were other marches that took place around the same time, lasting for another 18 days. The Turnaround March, for example.  This was one of the most famous marches in U.S. history.  What was the march about? Voting rights for African Americans. The marchers were demanding the passage of a Voting Rights law that prohibited discrimination in the right and practice of voting. As the bloody Sunday name suggests, this non-violent march ended with police and state troopers attacking the unarmed marchers. Many were injured. Some were killed.  This march was effective: President Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law just five months later, on August 6, 1965. There is lots more about the Voting Rights Act—it is a fundamental and revolutionary document that is constantly under attack—and I have a wiki history podcast that discusses it called Civil Rights Movement: The Laws & Supreme Court cases.  Back to the Selma march, the march was also a response to the killing of Jimmie Lee Jackson by an Alabama State trooper. Mr. Jackson was killed while fleeing violence that had erupted at a voting rights rally. The Selma march was also a response to the killing of Rev. James Reeb by four members of the Ku Klux Klan who objected to Rev. Reeb dining at an integrated restaurant. Well, if you want to know more about the Selma march, I encourage you to see the movie or listen to my podcast called The Civil Rights Movement: Marches and Protests. Actually, you can do both if you like!   One of the most famous and largest marches, not just in U.S. history, but in world history was the March on Washington, which was held on August 28, 1963. Did you know that full name was the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom?  Yes, that really tells it all. It was the largest march ever held for economic and social rights for African Americans. 250,000 people attended the march, including 60,000 whites. It was absolutely an integrated (or multicultural in modern lingo) movement—and that was very rare at the time. This is when and where SCLC president Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech.   In fact, there was a long list of speakers including A. Philip Randolph who gave the opening remarks, SNCC Chairman John Lewis (who would be a central figure at the Selma march 2 years later), National Urban League director Whitney Young, and NAACP Executive Secretary Roy Wilkens who led a moment of silence for WEB Dubois had died in Ghana on the previous night.  There was also a long list of performers like Mahalia Jackson, Marion Anderson, Joan Baez and Bob Dylan. How effective was the March on Washington? That is open to a lot of debate.  There was criticism on all sides: Some people, including Malcolm X, thought that the issue and goal of the march were too diluted as a result of multicultural support and conflicting agendas. Some people in the Kennedy Administration felt that the march was too radical and inflammatory because many speakers were questioning the effectiveness of the current civil rights bill. Still, others (particularly white segregationists) were angered that Black people and civil rights issues had been provided with so much power and coverage. Most of the participants felt that the march was an historic and life-changing experience. To me (no I wasn’t there), that historic and life-changing feeling by itself shows that the march was effective and powerful.  Following the march, President Kennedy did actually meet with civil rights leaders—that was a huge step on its own—but he had not signed the civil rights bill before his assassination. Eleven months later, his successor Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law.   So, those are two of the most famous marches.  There is a lot more to say about them but I encourage you read about them for yourself.  Two good books are This is the Day: The March on Washington by Leonard Freed and March from Selma to Montgomery by Michael Uschan (by the way, Michael Uschan has written a lot about African American history and his books are very readable and informative.) If you’re more the visual type, go see Selma if it’s still in the theaters. If not, then a great DVD is Selma, Lord, Selma. And a good DVD about the March on Washington is called The March, which is a documentary with Denzel Washington. I just mention these books and DVDs but you can find them all and others (with reviews) on robinlofton.com and rememberinghistory.com. Look in the store section on Marches. You can’t miss it!       And, while you’re at the website, please give me your comments about the marches, the books, the movies, or anything else that it is on your mind. I love to hear from my listeners. Remember we are part of a community and I definitely believe in freedom of speech and expression.  If you actually attended one of these marches—or another march—tell me your experiences, thoughts, and beliefs about the marches.    In the next wiki podcast, we are going to discuss some of the lesser-known marches.  These marches are not unknown, but they certainly were not on the scale of the March on Washington or the Selma to Montgomery march in terms of participation and numbers. But you might just find that they were powerful, effective and memorable in their own right. And to make it even more interesting, I am going to focus on a single city for the wiki history podcast on these lesser-known marches. I will not tell you the name of the city but here’s a hint: This city has been described as a “hotbed of radical activism.” That’s a quote. Well, think about it and tune in next time for the name of this “hotbed of radical activism” and the marches that have occurred there.  Just to jump ahead, the final podcast in the marches series will discuss why we march and examine the march as an effective tool for change. We will examine specific and modern marches so it will be quite interesting.  There is a reason that Gandhi marched and that we continue to march.   Finally, every time someone listens to these podcasts, I will donate $1 to the ASALH, the Association for the Study of African American Life & History.  This organization, founded by Carter G. Woodson, is celebrating its centennial anniversary this year and is a great organization that keeps African American history alive, growing and respected. Feel free to visit them at asalh.org.   And feel free to visit robinlofton.com and rememberinghistory.com. Hope that you enjoyed this “march” down memory lane (sorry, but I couldn’t resist that one), I hope to hear your comments and experiences, and I hope that you will join me at the next marches podcast where we are remembering history and we’re making history.   Bye for now!
