Black History Month~California State Capitol 
Sacramento is the Capitol of the State of California, yet very briefly during Black History Month does any mention of early California History in context of Black Sacramento ever get shared. There is no "Black" self shown in the vast majority of era museums, libraries or schools. How do you teach California children self-esteem when self is an "open secret?"...

The California Governors office intends to force California counties to fund the AB. 2034 program through Proposition 63 dollars that have been provided to fund mental health outreach for our most marginalized and mentally ill. After reading my piece call the Governors Office and convince the governor to fully fund t...

The Privilege of Privacy and Homelessness When I’ve been homeless, the hardest part has been the lack of privacy. The *privilege of privacy* is something many take for granted, but for those of us who have experienced homelessness firsthand, privacy becomes a mindset, rather than a physical reality. And that fortress of privacy within one’s *mind* adds to the wide chasm between the housed and the homeless, often making homeless people seem “crazy” to housed folks. And when one has been forced to make *mental* doors that shut, since p...

The Case Against the February California Primary As Ben Franklin said, the definition of “insanity” is “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.” Once again, California politicians complain that our state never gets to choose a presidential nominee because the race is over by the time it gets here. Now the state legislature wants to push up our presidential primary even earlier than before – in the vain hope that we will decide from a wide-open field in 2008. But other states have the same idea too and we m...
