Not White Supremacy, But 'Light' Supremacy
"I don't know if you're familiar with the controversy in Los Angeles where several members of the city council and in fact a labor union leader. They were talking on a series of calls. I guess they were Zoom calls or some sort of conference calls. And there were all kinds of racial epithets used.

But he meant something to somebody. And a lot of people follow them, they thought he was a good rapper. I never heard of him a day in my life. But the scenario really struck home with me because this happens time after time after time after time. And then you have to ask yourself this question.

Another black man goes up to him in a rosco chicken and waffles restaurant in the hood. And demands that he take off all of his jury and give it over to the suspect. I guess he refused or somehow he got into it, and that guy shot the rapper multiple times in the chest, leaving him for dead.

Thank you for having me rachel. Let me start just by asking you if i've got any of this this wrong. I've tried to give sort of a reasonable snapshot of how you and your colleagues have been approaching this work. Let me ask you if i missed anything. Crucial if i got anything wrong now. I really appreciate you telling the story. I think it's important to hear where we were. And then how from the very beginning. We've been extremely solutions oriented. And that's how we've gotten to where we are right now. Eighteen thousand doses into the arms of angelenos. How have you been able to beat this. Vaccine equity issue that has been a terrible in every state in the country. We've got the proportion of people of color getting the vaccine significantly lower than what their proportion is of the population. How are you beating that pattern. Did you know in advance how you were going to tackle that problem or has it been a trial and error evolving process. Sure i'll just Start by saying a few things. We've felt nothing but cooperation and solidarity with our colleagues of the department of public health. You know we've been in complete lockstep partnership we appreciate everything that they've done everything that we've asked for from the state and we've been in close communication with the cdc and others and so. I think that's been extremely helpful. That i truly believe. We're all in this together. And i get that sense. And that's critical they at the end of the day. There's just three things that really are the challenge and that's not enough vaccine's not enough hands to deliver them and just not enough resources then funding in terms of the specific problems that i think we're having with communities of color around the country. There's been a lot of attention. to vaccine. hesitancy understandable vaccine have hesitancy among lots of different communities of color for lots of different reasons and clearly that has to be some piece of the puzzle but it does also feel like there are barriers to entry in terms of how you get yourself vaccine appointment. How you get your mom or your dad a vaccine appointment or some other elder in your community how we signed people up how we asked them to come to sites where vaccines are available. I'm and it does seem like you've cracked that code a little bit. You know so kind of going back really quickly You mentioned How why are we effective. And are we actually Delivering vaccines to people who are in most need particularly communities of color black and brown wear the heat maps show the highest rates of cove. Infection are When we look at how it was distributed in dc or you look at chicago's maps. And then you showed us the maps of los angeles. We really wanted to prioritize the most vulnerable here in south los angeles so our first mantra. Was you know we put on our oxygen mask first and then we were gonna make sure that we turn to our neighbors and made sure that we offered them this lifesaving essential medicine so we actually vaccinated are three hundred to four hundred employees and then we went to black and brown healthcare workers throughout south los angeles than they really didn't have places to turn because they're not part of large health systems so we really became their safe haven there safe harbor to be vaccinated after that. We said that's not enough. We weren't in it just tobaks ourselves. We really wanted to make sure that we can get to every grandma and grandpa every vulnerable senior every essential worker that needs it when they are eligible. And so that is the commitment that we've made to kind of get to where we're at but of course you know just not enough vaccine so at the end of every day. It's just as constant struggle to try to get through the day and we work so lockstep with the county to find expiring doses in our mantra. Here at catcher in is no drop will go to waste and we make sure that every drop ghost in someone's arm but that needs to be our seniors that needs to be are black and brown healthcare workers it needs to be all of our health care workers And then there are times we have expiring doses me. Don't have folks lined up and that's where we're partnering with you. Know politicians offices community based organizations faith based organizations. We need to figure out. Better ways to get those who are shut out and that's where our solutions came in making sure that there were work arounds for the website work arounds for not having a cell phone not having email. Maybe not having a driver's license because you're undocumented worker or an undocumented grandma in this community what if you don't have a car we live in an area where predominantly our patients. don't have access to transportation. We made it very clear that we were going to be a walkup site because not having a car should not be a barrier. It's not getting a vaccine. Not having an email and not having a phone is not a buried not getting a vaccine not having internet is not a reason to not get a vaccine and in here we were so focused and committed to overcoming those barriers. We've also been very positive. I think the optimism that you feel and sense and you see in the stories. We've got music dancing. We're happy we're smiling. Because we know that this is the solution to overcoming this epidemic to reopening our economy to getting back to work to getting back to loving our loved ones and hugging and all the things that we did before. This epidemic began so we're actually joyous every day that we can be a part of the solution which has don't have enough vaccine to do the job and do it the best we know we can

Shade Is Becoming a Hot Commodity in L.A.
"Last October. The mayor of L. A.. Eric Garcetti gave a speech about one of the biggest biggest issues facing his city is just way too hot and we know that climate change is not an abstract crisis. This is the fight of our lives. Eric Karsh City the in south Los Angeles today rolling out key elements of his cool streets. Program this is the first of five neighborhoods across the city where we're rolling out new features. That'll help us. Lower our temperatures apertures the city. Trying lots of things to cool down temperatures like painting sidewalks white but the easiest way to solve this problem is shade it just creating shade lots of neighborhoods in La. Don't have tree coverage or high-rise buildings and because of city bylaws it's really difficult to build features like shade sales or canopies journalists. Sam Block has spent a lot of time looking into shade so I sat down to talk with him about why is actually a matter of life or death eh for people living in release on places so you used to live in Los Angeles and what did you notice about Los Angeles when you start walking around the city. What did I notice? I notice that there was no one around. I noticed that the people who were around what have to position themselves in such a way to protect themselves cells from the sunlight. What do you mean? I noticed people waiting for the buses behind telephone poles. I notice people waiting behind the people waiting behind telephone poles because there's only that small sliver of shade that people were protected from the sunlight. Why is she two important? Los Angeles like most every city in the world is heating up. There are some scientists who I speak to who have found that in hot dry air it environments like Los Angeles but also Phoenix. That shade is the most important factor when it it comes to human comfort more than temperature more than humidity more than wind speed. And there's a close relationship between human thermal comfort and mortality and and illness and heatstroke. If you don't have shade if you're not protected from the sun you can. Oh you can become dizzy. You can become disoriented. You can become confused fused authentic to hydrated if you are obese or elderly or pregnant that can tap into more dangerous things like heart attack organ failure Into what is the magnitude of the problem in La. There are a few different ways of thinking about it okay. We can talk about shade in terms of tree canopy which is a very serious problem? mm-hmm Los Angeles has terribly unequal tree canopy by tree canopy. I just mean coverage Lindsey your daughter space looking down in La. You'll see parts of the city that are covered in green. And you'll see parts of the city that are not. They're baking an asphalt and those two. At follow lines of wealth. It's a problem with tree canopy. It's a problem. In terms of the built urban form Los Angeles notoriously anti density Los Angeles has image of itself is not being New York City in fact being the Anti New York City so oh sunlight and open space is a part of the culture. That's not necessarily problem but it becomes a problem when you can't escape it right so there are no tall. Buildings provide some measure of shade. I wouldn't go as far as say. There are no tall bill. However in futile there are a few tall buildings space pretty far apart correct? They're located in certain height districts. Downtown being one of them and even some areas that city planners have designated be taller neighborhoods. Even today there's still fought and contested by neighborhood favorite activists. So I've seen the pictures I get a sense that Los Angeles used to be greener like there was a lot of shade. So tell me how the city was designed and how how it developed into this so time was Los Angeles was a prairie if you look at photos of La from a hundred years ago it's all grasslands and when it was settled. Oh by the Spanish downtown which was the original settlement was laid out according to the law of the indies. This city would roughly conform to a forty five degree angle. So you could have some light in the winter and shade aiden shadow in the summer. So explain the law of the indies. What does this mean? The laws of the indies means. Build your cities at forty five degrees basically really completely unlike the way we think of most American cities which have this sort of North South East West original grid. So you have these settlements that are laid out in such a way as to be able to create shadow data when you need it and also to bestow sunlight also when you need it. Spanish architecture a very strong sense of natural comforts. You'll see a lot of these kinds of missions and adobe toby that have these internal courtyards that are shaded You'll have covered. Walkways PA- CEOS. And even today you'll see a lot of this and like Spanish revival architecture or you know outdoor malls that have goofy Spanish names Los Angeles was also in a way sort of a dusty old West town. So you think about these covered boardwalks. You think about large judge Canvas awnings that are cooling people who are living outside and also cooling indoors. which at the time didn't have air conditioning? And another way that Los Angeles tried to stay cool was through rich. Beautiful kind of flamboyant not just tree canopy but in a syncretic overwhelming variety of exotic flora and fauna So during during this period there was a recognition of the environment and how to be comfortable inside of it. And when did that go wrong. You put it that way. Things started to go wrong after cheap. Electricity came down to Los Angeles with the completion of what's now called the Hoover Dam. See Start to see the city rebuild itself and the new development becomes like we see today you have controlled air conditioning. The of the automobile which comes to dominate the city in the thirties and the forty s and with the automobile. You have a whole new way of seeing the city. The names of the streets are translated into magic fabulous. Stacks of freeways tremendous tons of the city started to think about how to market itself and how to make itself seem more attractive to outsiders. And this is where you get palm trees palm trees one. SAS said were about as useful for shade as a telephone pole uh-huh. She hated them but the city was enamored of an. Interestingly you have different philanthropists and celebrities starting to think about trees as being a public good the palm tree in particular being one. That doesn't just message. La Is kind of Semitropical Paradise. But also as Mary Pickford said it's very good for window shopping from the CD your car because the tree trunks aren't that robust so if you're driving down some boulevard you can see all the great stuff because the palm tree is narrow so Los Angeles was also rezoned rezoned in the nineteen thirties to become a single family city Los Angeles in order to sort of not pacify not suck up to sort of remake itself in the image of the the Fha they decided that all new single family homes had to come in the front and aside yard start to create a lot of space around them. Los Angeles really starts to hate the idea of density. And so when you have this type of sprawling not very dense city How is this? Shade distributed unevenly shade is distributed to people who can afford it. If you go into these neighborhoods that were laid out to be wealthy residential enclaves you very wide sidewalks sidewalks and the the Strip of grass where you can tree plant which is called the parkway becomes four or five maybe even ten feet wide when you have these wider parkway's you have a greater space to the plant bigger thicker leafier tree so the parkway is the area between the sidewalk and the road correct can be pretty wide and therefore have treats them correct in other neighborhoods. That have been red line that were designed as sort of worker housing. That were meant to sort of Jammed together you don't have these kinds of wide residential sidewalks instead instead. What you have are very narrow sidewalks because these neighborhoods are designed to facilitate automobile passage? So if you have a narrow sidewalk you don't really have the space to plant a thick leafy

John Singleton, Los Angelesjohn Singleton discussed on The Frame
"The filmmaker John singleton died today at the age of fifty one. He suffered a stroke on April seventeenth and today. He was taken off life support singleton burst on the scene in nineteen Ninety-one with boys in the hood, one of the first films to capture the reality of young men living in south Los Angeles at that time. We always trying to find some excuse to shoot some five. What to give shuttle turn? Shown a horn. The shed you'd be doing it to one of the film's co-stars was ice cube who'd been a member of the group NWEA between NWEA's album straight outta Compton and singleton's film with its rap. Heavy soundtrack, hip, hop culture. Became firmly established in American culture, the movie was released by Sony Pictures and grossed nearly sixty million dollars at the time. A stunning return for a film made by and starring African Americans singleton was the first African American to receive in Academy Award nomination for directing and at the age of twenty four the youngest to be nominated for original screenplay singleton went on to work on a variety of projects in film and television, including as executive producer of the 2017 documentary LA burning the riots twenty-five years later, joining me to talk about John singleton is Franklin Leonard. He's the founder of the blacklist. It's an annual compilation of the top screenplays that are not yet produced Franklin. Thank. For hopping on the phone. We're Shirley joining you under some circumstances. But I guess we should start by singleton only directed boys in the hood. He also wrote it screenplay, and there's a story that he was offered a lot of money to have someone else directed. What was the story? You know? I obviously have no direct knowledge of it. I was thirteen when the movie came out. But what I've read as recently as today that he was and he said that he was not gonna have somewhat from and I quote, Idaho or Encino, directing the story of these young black men in south LA, and what I was twenty two at the time when he made that decision. I think it speaks to the thing that for me defined John which was sort of unwillingness to see anybody tell the stories, but the people who knew from whence, they came, and I think that that was a relatively new phenomenon in this business along with Spike Lee who had done she's gotta have it. Just a few years prior. And I think it defined his career. It was one of the many reasons why I admired him, it's frankly, a bit confusing that he's gone what stands out for you about the writing in that script. What was he able to do that was so authentic? I just think that it was offensive, and it felt like these were people that I knew or that I could have known, and they were three dimensional and complicated and had wants and needs. And, you know, at the time that was not something that was terribly present in the film, or or film culture of this industry. And I think that it was the beginning of that becoming more common. And I think that it's it's staggering to think that the person who was a part of that beginning was only fifty one years old in two thousand nineteen and is now no longer with us at the time that boys in the hood came out in Hollywood there were. Hardly, any black directors working, and certainly even fewer who other chance to make studio films. Do you think his success with that movie created an opportunity for other filmmakers who followed? Even if it still taking a long time for a lot of people writing checks to get on board, undeniably, I think that his he had open doors because it meant that that's excess was possible. But I think even more than that she represented for those of us who, you know, even considered a career in this business that it was possible. And that you could do it in an uncompromising way without sacrificing who you are and the stories that you wanted to tell I, you know, I'd be hard pressed to think of a single black filmmaker working in Hollywood today for whom boys didn't have a profound impact in terms of what was possible. And I think he and spike and and a few others where the harbingers at the beginning of a move. In that direction. And and I know I personally will forever be grateful. The other thing that I think is notable that John singleton worked with a lot of musicians, including ice cube and two bucks a couture, particularly in boys in the hood. He curated a soundtrack that really reflected. The sounds of Los Angeles at the time. What do you think about his collaboration with musicians and how he incorporated their stories and their lyrics into the movies? He was making. Speaks to again, the authenticity of the stories that he was telling those cultural environments don't exist without the music, but also defines them, and I think that he was bringing, you know, the music of the culture into the film culture into the broader culture, you know, I think that it raise the awareness of artists, and it raised the awareness of of that culture to a broader world that has since embraced it. But you know, he was early in that regard. You mentioned you were thirteen when boys in the hood came out. Do you remember watching it for the first time, and what it felt like to see it? I do. I mean, I was living in west central Georgia. But it definitely it felt real in a way that other movies that were telling different stories felt and it felt good to see a film that had people that look like me and my family, you know, forty feet high and theater just wasn't. Something that you could do walk into a movie theater and see a story like that. And I think that it continued whether it was politic Justice or higher learning or or rosewood telling the stories of African American history that had never been told on screen before he was doing something that no one else was doing at the time that he was doing it. And it's I don't know. Like, I said, it it is profoundly confusing that he is no longer here. And at fifty one I'm frankly morning the things that we will never get from him. A consequence

Los Angeles Memorial Honors Rapper Nipsey Hussle
"The memorial service for nipsy hustle was held today at a packed staple center. Family members, friends and admirers took the stage to tell stories and pay on edge to the thirty three year old rapper who was fatally shot on March thirty first it's hustles. Real name is our Oscar Dom his father is an immigrant from the African country of era. Tria nipsy hustle was killed outside the clothing store that he owned and self LA just part of his many investments in the neighborhood where he grew up. He also owned restaurants and had launched a program for neighborhood youth to learn about careers and technology Austin cross producer with our sister show. Two, and he was inside staple center for the three hour plus memorial. Austin thanks for joining us. Hi, john. So Austin I want to ask about the mood inside the arena and their range of motion during the ceremony. There is such a range, and it really spoke to the variety that nifty hustle had his life in south Los Angeles in many ways, it was a celebration. There was a DJ. There were performances. There was music. There's a lot of cheering and clapping and stopping. But then there are also these very touching moments with, you know, the children's speaking here, it was it was a variety of things, and it was everything that really helps encapsulate the man that she us civil who is one of nipsy hustles business partners read a letter from former President Barack Obama. Let's listen to what she said he saw community that even with flaws tall him to always keep going his choice to. Invest in that community rather than to ignore it to build a skills training center. A co working space in Crenshaw to lift up the retrieve American community. So I'm gonna ask you about two things one is about nipsy hustle as civic leader who is really committed to helping people in his hometown. How much of the memorial was about that aspect of his life? We definitely heard a lot about what was happening in the community. And this was in two places. I we heard it before when we were out on the streets talking to people in the line, many people coming out some of them, even with tears in. There is talking about the things that he did in the community at the service. We heard from his family and his family definitely smoke about the time before he was the rapper whose world-famous known as nipsy hustle. But as the man who grew up there who who experienced things just like anybody else, but who had this drive to be more. But then also to come back into contributes to the economy into the community that was that was a really beautiful thing. We definitely heard one thing from snoop Dogg's that you know, I didn't know him when he was growing up. He said you got a letter from her job. You know that that's gotta really need something. One of the people who spoke inside Staples Center was his older brother Samuel ASCA Dom. And he shared stories about nipsy hustles, determination and drive while I'm trying to get money hustle than I was in my head only thing we may be able to do is help get this. Music career going because I felt that was only avenue, and that was only thing he he would that he wanted to move toward one of the things that's remarkable about nipsy hustle is that he was an entrepreneur not only in the community, but also with his music, whereas there are a lot of conversation about how he fought against labels. How he fought against preconceived notions of what kind of music he should be playing and became his own self musically. They're definitely was. And again, I come back to snoop dog because dog talks about the time when he listened to a nipsy hustle album. Nipsy brought his album to him. He's listen to it. Just like just listen to it. And that that simple part was like, okay. And he finally listened to it ended up doing collaborations with him. And he said that they missed it out to about Nikki awful, you was coming with the product. And he said, essentially, I've got this. This is what I'm bringing to the table. And this is how I'm going to earn my way. And you know, he definitely did things as a businessman that people would look at and say, well, it's not very typical for a guy who's in this community, for example, selling those albums for a lot of money out of his car and things like that. These are things that you don't really hear about. But yet he was doing in this brother, even spoke about the fact that you know, he would work all day for fifteen dollars on his brother would just go out. They come back with hundreds of dollars and say, how do you do that toward the end of the ceremony the audience heard from Stevie Wonder and he preceded his performance with some comments about the knee? For gun control. It is so painful to know that we don't have enough people taking up -sition. This is listen, we must have stronger gun laws. It's unacceptable. So my final question is about the mood inside staple center. There is a celebration of nipsy hustles life. And there's also there has to be some sort of tragic sadness over the fact that his life was cut so short, or, you know, right after Stevie Wonder said that part he said this line. He said it's almost like the whole world is doing blind. And it was really poignant coming from Stevie Wonder, of course. But the kind of speaks to the fact that some people still approach this with a big question of why you know, of course, why did this happen to a man who is so so very young. And when his mother spoke, you know, she said that she was at peace. She was at spirit. Actual peace with it. And that it wasn't something that was, you know, tearing her up inside because that's just how she processes things, but even outside there were people who are saying, you know, the system failed him and one person put it they said, you know, in all this darkness. The only answer that we have is to be the light. And if he was that light. And now people have to continue that light.
