In part two of my weekly podcast series. This interview with activist John Jones, III, Affirmative Action Committee Member. We have a frank discussion from his perspective on what's really happening in the city of Oakland. John Jones has seen first hand how marginalized people have been directly affected by this new influx of the tech boom that has taken over in the bay area. What was once dubbed the "chocolate city" is no longer that. The city of Oakland which is right outside of San Francisco is currently dealing with a homeless problem that leaders can't seem to solve. It's gotten so bad, you now see families living under freeways, on backroads, near railroad tracks and the streets are litter with all types of waste as a result.
More importantly, there is a vibe, culture, and art that is being erased. The downtown area is under massive reconstruction where new apartment buildings being built has taken over. Gone are one of the most beautiful murals that were located on 14th Alice St. The Malonga center, a gathering place for artists, young and inspiring has lost its appeal. While change is a good thing, not at the expense of a culture, and it's people.
