 Discrimination in Housing Called San Leandro, California ‘a racist 
 bastion of white supremacy’. It was named one of the most racist suburbs 
 in America. CBS News and Newsweek covered the story. The U.S. Commission on 
 Civil Rights conducted hearings. And then, we moved to town.” So writes 
 Brian Copeland in his first solo show, NOT A GENUINE BLACK MAN, revealing a 
 little-known chapter of Bay Area history. In a monologue that's both funny 
 and poignant, Copeland explores how surroundings make us who we 
 are.\n\nWHAT: Brian Copeland’s One Man Show: NOT A GENUINE BLACK
