![]() ![]() The presentation, “History, memory, public policy, and the hidden narrative of race in Alameda” focused on the role of of memory and history and the legacy of white supremacy in public policy formation and maintenance in Alameda, specifically related to housing, policing, and public space. In July, I spoke at a meeting of the Democratic Club of Alameda. Second, the agenda item background states, “Alameda has a century-long tradition of embracing diversity and respecting the civil and human rights of its residents, while acknowledging and understanding that many historic laws, at every level, were often at odds with progress.” The ruling class and its brain trust offered multiculturalism, diversity, and affirmative action in response to demands for decolonization, justice, reparations, social equality, an end of imperialism, and the rewriting of history - not to be “inclusive” - but to be accurate.”Īlameda does not have a century-long tradition of embracing diversity As Professor Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, professor emerita, of Cal State Hayward wrote in 2006, “This is a convenient myth developed as a response to the 1960s movements against colonialism, neocolonialism, and white supremacy. They were displaced by the European colonist and settlers. Our indigenous ancestors did not immigrate here on the Mayflower. My African ancestors did not immigrant to the shores of Georgia, Florida, and Louisiana, and the other places we are unable to trace, they were kidnapped and forcibly brought here, enslaved, and not valued as humans. The resolution begins with the statement, “The United States is a nation of immigrants.” While this may be true for some, this does not include me or my ancestors. The United States is NOT a nation of immigrants In an era of alternative truth, fake news, and false “truth and lies,” it is important to distinguish between our situation and our aspirations, between tales and the facts we tell, and between our mythical stories and our history. I also wish to propose a few activities and policy solutions to bring inclusivity towards fruition. However, there are a few inaccuracies and myths within the resolution and background that I wish to address. I appreciate the good intention and direction this resolution seeks to move this city. I want to express my gratitude for the City of Alameda seeking unity against hatred. More info: February 23, 2019, 8 PMĬHELLE!
