"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

He won a 1956 Nobel Prize for his work on transistors, and the employees at his lab went on to found Fairchild Semiconductors. Fairchild spawned dozens of other companies, including eventually Intel and venture capital firms like Kleiner Perkins and Sequoia Capital. Shockley’s lab closed down, and he became a professor of electrical engineering at Stanford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his later years, Shockley made his racism and desire for eugenics increasingly public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said different races had different inherent intelligences, and he advocated for voluntary sterilization. Shockley’s racism was wrapped up in pseudoscience. It grew out of an absurd, extreme rationalist ideology where people and their characteristics were thought of as things that could be measured and quantified, reduced to numbers, and processed like bits of code.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shockley, like many in Silicon Valley then and now, was obsessed with quantification. He put his employees through a series of IQ tests to try to determine their worth. Later in his life, ranking people became about who should be sterilized instead of just who should get a job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shockley’s presentation of racism is one that is still common among white supremacists today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Figures like Jason Kessler have similarly said in interviews that intelligence is tied to race, claiming their positions have a basis in science. Shockley, like Kessler, was invited onto mainstream media programs, where he was allowed to present his racism as a viewpoint worthy of debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here he is on William F. Buckley Jr.’s Show,\u003cem> Firing Line.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JOIqkh2ms8&t=3116\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘That’s Not What We’re Here To Celebrate’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>After the speeches commemorating the Shockley lab, Chuck Worley walked over to admire the silicon atom sculpture. Like many of the 400 or so people at the commemoration event, Worley worked for years in the semiconductor industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucked into Worley’s pocket was a worn and folded-up envelope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside was a small, silver disk — a wafer. It’s a slice of silicon used in the semiconductors that Worley worked on years ago. Worley said he’d taken it as a memento from a sign that used to hang outside Shockley’s lab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was racist and I want to forget about that,” said Worley. “That’s not what we’re here to celebrate.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

He won a 1956 Nobel Prize for his work on transistors, and the employees at his lab went on to found Fairchild Semiconductors. Fairchild spawned dozens of other companies, including eventually Intel and venture capital firms like Kleiner Perkins and Sequoia Capital. Shockley’s lab closed down, and he became a professor of electrical engineering at Stanford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his later years, Shockley made his racism and desire for eugenics increasingly public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said different races had different inherent intelligences, and he advocated for voluntary sterilization. Shockley’s racism was wrapped up in pseudoscience. It grew out of an absurd, extreme rationalist ideology where people and their characteristics were thought of as things that could be measured and quantified, reduced to numbers, and processed like bits of code.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shockley, like many in Silicon Valley then and now, was obsessed with quantification. He put his employees through a series of IQ tests to try to determine their worth. Later in his life, ranking people became about who should be sterilized instead of just who should get a job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shockley’s presentation of racism is one that is still common among white supremacists today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Figures like Jason Kessler have similarly said in interviews that intelligence is tied to race, claiming their positions have a basis in science. Shockley, like Kessler, was invited onto mainstream media programs, where he was allowed to present his racism as a viewpoint worthy of debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here he is on William F. Buckley Jr.’s Show,\u003cem> Firing Line.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/7JOIqkh2ms8'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/7JOIqkh2ms8'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003ch3>‘That’s Not What We’re Here To Celebrate’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>After the speeches commemorating the Shockley lab, Chuck Worley walked over to admire the silicon atom sculpture. Like many of the 400 or so people at the commemoration event, Worley worked for years in the semiconductor industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucked into Worley’s pocket was a worn and folded-up envelope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside was a small, silver disk — a wafer. It’s a slice of silicon used in the semiconductors that Worley worked on years ago. Worley said he’d taken it as a memento from a sign that used to hang outside Shockley’s lab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was racist and I want to forget about that,” said Worley. “That’s not what we’re here to celebrate.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

But in Silicon Valley … well, people in Silicon Valley like to “think different.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Can you name a sport played by the people who founded companies like Google, WhatsApp, SolarCity and Women Who Code?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The answer is ultimate Frisbee. (Or “ultimate flying disc” or simply “ultimate,” as Frisbee is a registered trademark.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriouspodcastinfo]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Afifa Tawil of San Jose helps organize regular ultimate games \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/MondayNightPickupUltimate/about/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Monday\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/418268218215319/about/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wednesday\u003c/a> nights at Encinal Park in Sunnyvale. What she wants to know from Bay Curious: \u003cem>Why\u003c/em> does it seem like a lot of start-up execs play ultimate Frisbee and use that to network with venture capitalists?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A little backstory\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>There’s no question ultimate is popular in Silicon Valley. You might be surprised to discover it started in \u003ca href=\"http://www.wfdf.org/history-stats/history-of-ultimate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New Jersey\u003c/a> rather than California. But California has a natural affinity for ultimate. In any given week, \u003ca href=\"http://pickupultimate.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pickupultimate.com\u003c/a> lists a couple dozen games on the Peninsula and in the South Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\u003cstrong>What is Ultimate Frisbee?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_(sport)#Rules\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ultimate\u003c/a> is the team sport version of Frisbee — and shares similarities with basketball, football and handball.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>We went to check out one of Tawil’s games to get the lay of the land. Encinal Park is your basic neighborhood park, with green grass, a baseball diamond and picnic tables. It’s also within walking distance of corporate complexes for the likes of Apple, LinkedIn and Synopsis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You see a lot of people who are well into their Silicon Valley careers playing alongside young up-and-comers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if we were hoping to break into the gilded set in Tawil’s group, we were disappointed. She did introduce me though to Andrew Zill, a chemist who works for Thermofisher Scientific. He is also owner and manager of the \u003ca href=\"https://theaudl.com/spiders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">San Jose Spiders\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a semi-professional ultimate team that plays in the \u003ca href=\"https://theaudl.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">American Ultimate Disc League\u003c/a> along with other teams like the \u003ca href=\"http://theaudl.com/flamethrowers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">San Francisco Flamethrowers\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4rq4Or4fY4]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked Zill if people approach him on or near the field, hoping to rub shoulders with someone rich and powerful, and got a big laugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think that’s necessarily people’s goal. I think it just happens,” he says. “People mostly play for fun. I think that’s for the best because you actually make a real friendly relationship with somebody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zill introduced me to \u003ca href=\"https://lsvp.com/team/peter-nieh/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Peter Nieh\u003c/a>, an ultimate-playing venture capitalist who figures he may have missed a chance to invest early in Google because he was unaware he was playing with Google co-founder \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/profile/sergey-brin/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sergey Brin\u003c/a>, who is on a variety of Forbes’ lists because he’s, well, rich and powerful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Years passed, and Nieh attended a party at one of the world’s top ranked venture capital firms, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kleinerperkins.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kleiner Perkins\u003c/a>. It was the the kind of party where you look at everybody thinking “Do I know you? Should I know you?” Nieh spotted that guy he plays ultimate with — and lo and behold, it was Brin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even though he didn’t seem to want to talk to people, I probably should have reached out to him!” Nieh says, laughing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Another time, I was standing on the line of seven players before you kick off for the first point,” he says. “I’m just fumbling around with the Frisbee, and I turn it over, and it says ‘\u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/profile/brian-acton/#636048295cfc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brian Acton\u003c/a>.’ You know, one of the co-founders of Whatsapp. I said to the guy next to me, ‘I didn’t know Brian Acton plays ultimate.’ The guy next to me says ‘Oh. He does play ultimate. He’s me.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Why ultimate?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In other parts of the business world, people schmooze on the golf course.

I did not know him. I did not know how or why the date of his death was predetermined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was told to show up the next morning at Peet’s in The Fillmore. Then I’d walk half a block with my equipment to a beautiful blue Victorian overlooking Fillmore Street where he’d lived since 1969. After climbing two flights of stairs, each step creaking with antiquity, I entered the top flat. I followed an oxygen tube strewn across the carpet.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'I look back at my life and I’ve choreographed an extraordinary dance. It’s over.

A smile stretched across his face as he greeted me. He was ready for his close up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I only met Kelly during the last two weeks of his life, but came to feel as if I had known him longer than I’ve been alive. His spirit was unrestrained. But his body was incapacitated, tethered to his oxygen concentrator and restricted to a walker and, at the end, a wheelchair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My body has given out,” he said. “You take away my medication, my oxygen, and I’ll be dead by sundown.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At 75 years old, Kelly's breathing was labored and his body wracked with arthritis. He was terminally ill with pulmonary disease. After several years of declining health, barely able to leave his apartment, he began planning his death. On May 7 of this year, Kelly Johnson died after invoking California’s aid-in-dying law — a memory I cannot erase.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/events/412308225924469/\">Screening of 'A Dance With Death'\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11686097\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11686097\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Screen-Shot-2018-08-09-at-5.18.20-PM-2-1020x574.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Screen-Shot-2018-08-09-at-5.18.20-PM-2-1020x574.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Screen-Shot-2018-08-09-at-5.18.20-PM-2-160x90.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Screen-Shot-2018-08-09-at-5.18.20-PM-2-800x450.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Screen-Shot-2018-08-09-at-5.18.20-PM-2-1200x675.png 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Screen-Shot-2018-08-09-at-5.18.20-PM-2-1920x1080.png 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Screen-Shot-2018-08-09-at-5.18.20-PM-2-1180x664.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Screen-Shot-2018-08-09-at-5.18.20-PM-2-960x540.png 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Screen-Shot-2018-08-09-at-5.18.20-PM-2-240x135.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Screen-Shot-2018-08-09-at-5.18.20-PM-2-375x211.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Screen-Shot-2018-08-09-at-5.18.20-PM-2-520x293.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A poster for the 24-minute film by Arash Malekzadeh.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A screening of a longer version of \"A Dance With Death\" will be held on \u003cstrong>Wednesday, August 15th at 7 p.m. at Landmark's Clay Theatre\u003c/strong>, followed by a discussion with filmmaker Arash Malekzadeh and Kelly Johnson's daughter Leda Meredith.

Patients must have the capacity to make medical decisions for themselves and self-administer the drug, either by eating, drinking or swallowing it. Pharmacies and physicians can opt out at any point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, about a week after Kelly passed, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11669924/california-moves-to-defend-law-allowing-life-ending-drugs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">law was temporarily halted\u003c/a> by legal challenges. On June 15, a California appeals court reinstated the End of Life Option Act while those challenges make their way through the courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kelly came to his decision on the way to Peet’s, a community hub on the corner of Fillmore and Sacramento. He \u003ca href=\"http://newfillmore.com/2017/01/02/kellys-corner/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">was a regular there\u003c/a>, having spent countless mornings and afternoons cultivating friendships over cups of coffee and conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I reached a point where people were coming and dragging me down to Peet’s, and I was just gasping for breath,” Kelly said. “There was nothing left of me.” He realized his patronage at Peet’s would soon come to a halt. “I got about three or four steps from my house and I just wanted to die,” he said. “I wanted it to be over.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a child, Kelly performed with his sister on the vaudeville circuit in Chicago as a contortionist and tap dancer. When he moved to California as an adult in the late 1960s, he and his wife started the San Francisco Dance Theater on Fillmore Street — and changed the face of Bay Area dance in the decades that followed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1980s, he shifted his focus after becoming executive director of the Berkeley Symphony, working alongside international greats such as conductor Kent Nagano, until his diminishing health pushed him toward retirement. In the final stretch of his career, he became a concert pianist, embarking on a tour of retirement communities in Northern California, playing classical piano concerts and composing original music of his own. Earlier this year, he issued a final album of ballet music he wrote and performed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11686196\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11686196 size-large\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/youngkelly-1020x776.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"487\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/youngkelly-1020x776.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/youngkelly-160x122.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/youngkelly-800x609.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/youngkelly-1200x914.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/youngkelly-1180x898.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/youngkelly-960x731.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/youngkelly-240x183.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/youngkelly-375x285.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/youngkelly-520x396.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/youngkelly.jpg 1910w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kelly Johnson in 1970. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Kelly Johnson)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I’ve managed to produce something that I’ve loved until the very end,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kelly Johnson was\u003ca href=\"https://www.kellyjohnson.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> an entertainer at heart\u003c/a>. He’d arranged countless performances throughout his life and was determined to orchestrate his own death — the grand finale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I look back at my life and I’ve choreographed an extraordinary dance,” he said. “It’s over. Strike a pose! Bring the curtain down!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I documented his final weeks, I witnessed a person truly coming to peace with the end of his life. Kelly spent his evenings in the intimate company of his friends, listening to private performances from various musical guests. The sounds of the piano and B3 organ, vocal melodies and clinking glasses floated through his living room window out into the night air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m in my home, I’ve got live music, I’ve got a lot of people,” he said. “I can go to a nursing home and I’d have a chest at the end of my bed with all my belongings in it, with someone who’s prolonging my life in misery. But you don’t have to have a black period in your life. I don’t, and I’m very fortunate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, I felt intrusive — following his final moments with a camera, recording private conversations and interactions. Yet Kelly didn’t mind. He wanted the world to hear his story and to know about the end-of-life option.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kelly acknowledged that he could let his life naturally take its course, or take his chances by quitting the medication that was keeping him alive. But he was determined to choreograph exactly how he would leave the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m happy he can go the way he wants to,” said Leda Meredith, his daughter. “What the rest of us have to deal with, as far as grieving after the fact, is not his problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On his last day, seven hours before his death, I followed Kelly on his final trip down to Peet’s. He was surrounded by his eclectic community of longtime companions and neighborhood friends, all eager to say their final goodbyes. On the wall was a newly hung portrait of him. He read from a brass plaque attached to the place where he often sat, engraved with the words “Kelly’s Corner.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11686203\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11686203\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Peets-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Peets-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Peets-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Peets-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Peets-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Peets.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Peets-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Peets-960x540.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Peets-240x135.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Peets-375x211.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Peets-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">On his last day, Kelly Johnson was surrounded by friends at his favorite spot, the Peet's in The Fillmore. \u003ccite>(Arash Malekzadeh)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“'In loving remembrance of Kelly Johnson, Mayor of Peet’s and friend to all,'” he read aloud before the emotional crowd erupted in applause.

I did not know him. I did not know how or why the date of his death was predetermined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was told to show up the next morning at Peet’s in The Fillmore. Then I’d walk half a block with my equipment to a beautiful blue Victorian overlooking Fillmore Street where he’d lived since 1969. After climbing two flights of stairs, each step creaking with antiquity, I entered the top flat. I followed an oxygen tube strewn across the carpet.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'I look back at my life and I’ve choreographed an extraordinary dance. It’s over.

A smile stretched across his face as he greeted me. He was ready for his close up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I only met Kelly during the last two weeks of his life, but came to feel as if I had known him longer than I’ve been alive. His spirit was unrestrained. But his body was incapacitated, tethered to his oxygen concentrator and restricted to a walker and, at the end, a wheelchair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My body has given out,” he said. “You take away my medication, my oxygen, and I’ll be dead by sundown.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Patients must have the capacity to make medical decisions for themselves and self-administer the drug, either by eating, drinking or swallowing it. Pharmacies and physicians can opt out at any point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, about a week after Kelly passed, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11669924/california-moves-to-defend-law-allowing-life-ending-drugs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">law was temporarily halted\u003c/a> by legal challenges. On June 15, a California appeals court reinstated the End of Life Option Act while those challenges make their way through the courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kelly came to his decision on the way to Peet’s, a community hub on the corner of Fillmore and Sacramento. He \u003ca href=\"http://newfillmore.com/2017/01/02/kellys-corner/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">was a regular there\u003c/a>, having spent countless mornings and afternoons cultivating friendships over cups of coffee and conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I reached a point where people were coming and dragging me down to Peet’s, and I was just gasping for breath,” Kelly said. “There was nothing left of me.” He realized his patronage at Peet’s would soon come to a halt. “I got about three or four steps from my house and I just wanted to die,” he said. “I wanted it to be over.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a child, Kelly performed with his sister on the vaudeville circuit in Chicago as a contortionist and tap dancer. When he moved to California as an adult in the late 1960s, he and his wife started the San Francisco Dance Theater on Fillmore Street — and changed the face of Bay Area dance in the decades that followed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the 1980s, he shifted his focus after becoming executive director of the Berkeley Symphony, working alongside international greats such as conductor Kent Nagano, until his diminishing health pushed him toward retirement. In the final stretch of his career, he became a concert pianist, embarking on a tour of retirement communities in Northern California, playing classical piano concerts and composing original music of his own. Earlier this year, he issued a final album of ballet music he wrote and performed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11686196\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11686196 size-large\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/youngkelly-1020x776.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"487\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/youngkelly-1020x776.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/youngkelly-160x122.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/youngkelly-800x609.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/youngkelly-1200x914.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/youngkelly-1180x898.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/youngkelly-960x731.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/youngkelly-240x183.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/youngkelly-375x285.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/youngkelly-520x396.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/youngkelly.jpg 1910w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kelly Johnson in 1970. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Kelly Johnson)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I’ve managed to produce something that I’ve loved until the very end,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kelly Johnson was\u003ca href=\"https://www.kellyjohnson.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> an entertainer at heart\u003c/a>. He’d arranged countless performances throughout his life and was determined to orchestrate his own death — the grand finale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I look back at my life and I’ve choreographed an extraordinary dance,” he said. “It’s over. Strike a pose! Bring the curtain down!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I documented his final weeks, I witnessed a person truly coming to peace with the end of his life. Kelly spent his evenings in the intimate company of his friends, listening to private performances from various musical guests. The sounds of the piano and B3 organ, vocal melodies and clinking glasses floated through his living room window out into the night air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m in my home, I’ve got live music, I’ve got a lot of people,” he said. “I can go to a nursing home and I’d have a chest at the end of my bed with all my belongings in it, with someone who’s prolonging my life in misery. But you don’t have to have a black period in your life. I don’t, and I’m very fortunate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At first, I felt intrusive — following his final moments with a camera, recording private conversations and interactions. Yet Kelly didn’t mind. He wanted the world to hear his story and to know about the end-of-life option.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kelly acknowledged that he could let his life naturally take its course, or take his chances by quitting the medication that was keeping him alive. But he was determined to choreograph exactly how he would leave the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m happy he can go the way he wants to,” said Leda Meredith, his daughter. “What the rest of us have to deal with, as far as grieving after the fact, is not his problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On his last day, seven hours before his death, I followed Kelly on his final trip down to Peet’s. He was surrounded by his eclectic community of longtime companions and neighborhood friends, all eager to say their final goodbyes. On the wall was a newly hung portrait of him. He read from a brass plaque attached to the place where he often sat, engraved with the words “Kelly’s Corner.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11686203\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11686203\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Peets-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Peets-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Peets-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Peets-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Peets-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Peets.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Peets-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Peets-960x540.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Peets-240x135.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Peets-375x211.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Peets-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">On his last day, Kelly Johnson was surrounded by friends at his favorite spot, the Peet's in The Fillmore. \u003ccite>(Arash Malekzadeh)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“'In loving remembrance of Kelly Johnson, Mayor of Peet’s and friend to all,'” he read aloud before the emotional crowd erupted in applause.

"content": "\u003cp>This summer, we’re hearing a lot about “white voice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take the movie ”\u003ca href=\"http://sorrytobotheryou.movie/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sorry to Bother You\u003c/a>,” in which a young black call center worker in Oakland is coached to put on an affected, WASPy accent to reel in customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This film is one of several new releases by black filmmakers, bringing larger awareness to the fact that white privilege is more than skin-deep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In “Sorry to Bother You,” director Boots Riley dubs in white actor David Cross’ high-pitched, nasal voice during the scenes where the movie’s black protagonist, played by Lakeith Stanfield, deftly wins over customers on the phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XthLQZWIshQ\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Riley says he was very careful about casting that voice. “I think if you did an internet poll over what actor people think has the whitest voice, \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Cross\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">David Cross\u003c/a> would probably be at the top,” Riley says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result is hilarious. It’s also disarming, because the filmmaker is superimposing that whitest of white voices on a black character to make a serious point about a system that forces people of color to code-switch so they can assimilate in a white-dominated culture. And that, Riley says, is messed up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whiteness is a thing that is performed, that is not inherited, and so is blackness,” Riley says. “Race is a performance. It’s one that, you know, we don’t necessarily have a choice in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This comes across in Spike Lee’s upcoming movie \u003ca href=\"http://www.focusfeatures.com/blackkklansman\">“BlacKkKlansman,”\u003c/a> where a black cop (played by John David Washington) has to suppress who he is and pretend to be white to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFc6I0rgmgY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The subject of white voice is not new, especially in the world of standup comedy. Richard Pryor was a master at it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now, with the emergence of black filmmakers like Jordan Peele and Daveed Diggs, satire around ideas that have existed in the black community for hundreds of years, like white voice, are belatedly emerging onto the big screen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a powerful way to bring attention to white privilege, says associate director of Stanford’s \u003ca href=\"https://diversityarts.stanford.edu/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Institute for Diversity in the Arts\u003c/a>, A-lan Holt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOEupm3btOs\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Your skin color you can’t change,” Holt says. “But your voice, you can manipulate to subvert systems that subjugate our existence, like the workplace and the classroom.

It’s also disarming, because the filmmaker is superimposing that whitest of white voices on a black character to make a serious point about a system that forces people of color to code-switch so they can assimilate in a white-dominated culture. And that, Riley says, is messed up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whiteness is a thing that is performed, that is not inherited, and so is blackness,” Riley says. “Race is a performance.

Spanning media far beyond comics, the convention is a place for movies and tv shows to tease fans with new trailers and panels. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 100,000 were expected to converge on the convention, which ran from July 19 through 22. Teaser images and clips were seen at the panels for “Wonder Woman 1984,” “Fantastic Beasts” and more, while shows like “Doctor Who” and “Riverdale” also gave fans much to look forward to in coming seasons. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this con, fans aren’t just attendees, they’re part of the entertainment. From group costumes that take months of coordination, to custom-made ones that require some engineering skills, the pop-culture inspired outfits are a sight to behold. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some of the highlights from this year’s con.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11681937\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/GettyImages-1002925486-1020x680.jpg\" alt=\" Cosplayers dressed as Ellie and Carl from the film 'Up' outside San Diego Comic-Con.\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11681937\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cosplayers dressed as Ellie and Carl from the film ‘Up’ outside San Diego Comic-Con. \u003ccite>(Mario Tama/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11681938\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/GettyImages-1002827660-1020x661.jpg\" alt=\"Cosplayers pose while dressed as the White Queen and Queen of Hearts outside Comic-Con on July 20, 2018 at the San Diego Convention Center.\" width=\"640\" height=\"415\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11681938\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cosplayers strike a pose while dressed as the White Queen and Queen of Hearts outside Comic-Con on July 20, 2018 at the San Diego Convention Center. \u003ccite>(Mario Tama/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11681934\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/GettyImages-1002266824-1020x680.jpg\" alt=\"A boy smiles after posing with a cosplayer dressed as Black Panther outside San Diego Comic-Con on July 19, 2018 in San Diego, California.\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11681934\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A boy smiles after posing with a cosplayer dressed as Black Panther.
