 21st, Lovelle Mixon was killed by Oakland police after having allegedly 
 shot five OPD officers, killing four. directed and produced by Adimu

 View newspaper. During the month of July, the SF Bay View Newspaper will be 
 organizing the first fundraiser for the printing of next month's newspaper 
 (August). The paper has been in dire financial straights for a while, which 
 2 years ago, ultimately caused the weekly to turn into a monthly. The SF 
 Bay View is a definite jewel in the Bay Area's media landscape as well as 
 in the national, and international realm. Advertising in the Black press is 
 at an all-time low, and if we would like to keep this essential newspaper 
 in operation, the staff and the community will have to step up to the plate 
 in finding new ways to fund this operation. Hajj Malcolm Shabazz, the 
 grandson of Malcolm X (El Hajj Malik El Shabazz) has agreed to donate his 
 time to help out with this fundraising campaign. \n\n\n
