Oakland's Black Flight
The Black population of Oakland has declined nearly 25 percent in the past decade, and for children, the rate is even higher. The decline of African-Americans in cities is a national trend. Why are African-Americans leaving, and what does it mean for Oakland?
Host: Michael Krasny

- Angela Glover Blackwell, founder and CEO of PolicyLink, an Oakland-based non-profit dedicated to advancing economic and social equity and author of books including "Uncommon Common Ground: Race and America's Future"
- Allen Fernandez Smith, president and CEO of Urban Habitat, and Oakland based non-profit focusing on regional issues affecting low-income communities and communities of color
- Malo Hutson, assistant professor of city and regional planning at UC Berkeley
- Margaret Gordon, Oakland Port commissioner, co-director of the West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project and longtime West Oakland resident
