"bio": "Sandhya Dirks was the race and equity reporter at KQED. She approaches race and equity not as a beat, but as a fundamental lens for all investigative and explanatory reporting.\r\n\r\nSandhya covered policing, housing, social justice movements, and the shifting demographics of cities and suburbs.\r\n\r\nShe was the creator and co-host of the podcast American Suburb, about the transformation of suburbia into the most diverse space in American life. She was the editor for Truth Be Told, an advice show for and by people of color. \r\n\r\nHer stories about race, space, and belonging were part of KQED's So Well Spoken project, which won RNDTA's Kaleidoscope award, honoring outstanding achievements in the coverage of diversity.\r\n\r\nPrior to joining KQED in 2015, Sandhya covered the 2012 presidential election from the swing state of Iowa for Iowa Public Radio. At KPBS in San Diego, she broke the story of a sexual harassment scandal that led to the mayor's resignation.\r\n\r\nShe got her start in radio working on documentaries about Oakland that investigated the high drop-out rate in public schools and mistrust between the police and the community.\r\n\r\nSandhya lives in Oakland and believes all stories are stories about power.",

"content": "\u003cp>Mississippi hasn’t had a case of measles since 1992. West Virginia last saw measles – a highly contagious virus that kills an estimated 314 people worldwide every day – in 2009. Now, with California’s new vaccination law rolling out shot by shot, the state joins Mississippi and West Virginia to become the third in the nation to adopt stringent vaccination school entrance requirements. And medical experts say disease rates are likely to fall in California as they have in those states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a good club to be in,” said Rahul Gupta, state health officer in West Virginia, who was effusive in welcoming California – home to more than eight times the number of children under the age of 18 as Mississippi and West Virginia combined – as a public health leader in school vaccinations, a role that the two Southern states have played for decades. “What we are seeing in West Virginia is a significant decline in vaccine-preventable diseases,” he said. “We expect the same in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We haven’t had a measles case in a schoolchild in decades,” said Thomas Dobbs, state epidemiologist in Mississippi, which has the highest school vaccination rate in the nation for measles, mumps and rubella with 99.7 percent of students receiving the immunization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than a year after a measles outbreak at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure spread to 134 Californians, as well as to residents in six other states and two other countries, the new law removes the personal belief exemptions that allowed parents not to vaccinate their children in public or private schools or child care centers based on an opposition to vaccines. As in Mississippi and West Virginia, California now allows only children who have a medical reason to be excused from the mandate if they wish to attend public or private schools and child care centers. Child by child, the new vaccination requirements, which took effect July 1, are being applied to babies, toddlers and students entering public or private child care, kindergarten and 7th grade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Passing the law, known by its legislative number as Senate Bill 277, was arduous at times, as vaccination opponents traveled to Sacramento legislative hearings to voice their belief in a retracted 1998 case study that suggested a link between vaccinations and autism – a case study that the British Medical Journal declared to be “an elaborate fraud.” Public health advocates now are having a moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Policies need to be based on science, not unfounded conjecture,” Dobbs said. “I am very impressed with California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has more than 9 million children under the age of 18, compared with 737,000 children in Mississippi and 382,000 children in West Virginia, according to 2015 figures, making the impact of improved vaccination rates all that more significant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nobody – myself included – was very confident that we could accomplish this law,” said Mark Sawyer, a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Infectious Diseases and a medical school professor at UC San Diego. “Now people can see that it can be done – the legislators weighed the risks. I think other states will follow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The likelihood is very strong that the end result will be fewer cases of vaccine-preventable diseases in California,” said Arthur Reingold, professor of epidemiology at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health. Several studies have documented that the easier it is for parents to decline to immunize their children, the higher the opt-out rates are and the greater the risk of outbreaks of measles and pertussis, also known as whooping cough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the absence of a federal law requiring school children to be immunized, state governments set the standards. Every state allows children to be exempt from vaccinations if they have a medical reason, such as a compromised immune system or a severe allergy. But 47 states allow parents to choose not to vaccinate their children because of a personal or religious opposition to vaccination. A parent’s right not to vaccinate a child based on beliefs has been defeated several times in Supreme Court rulings that state there is a greater public good in widespread immunization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>West Virginia instituted its vaccination requirements in 1987, has been strengthening them ever since and has never had a religious or personal belief exemption. Mississippi set its vaccination requirements in 1972, never had a personal belief exemption and ended its religious exemption in 1979, when the state Supreme Court ruled against such exemptions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the ensuing decades, the fraudulent paper on the possible link between vaccinations and autism by Andrew Wakefield, a British doctor who was stripped of his medical license by a government review board, has sowed fear in parents and wreaked havoc on vaccination rates in Europe and, to a lesser extent, in the U.S. Both Gupta and Dobbs noted that it is far easier never to have had exemptions to vaccination requirements, or to have removed them decades ago, than to remove them in 2015 as California did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>West Virginia legislators continue to strengthen vaccination laws and in 2015 extended vaccination requirements to preschoolers. Amid complaints from a few parents that medical exemptions were being granted or denied without consistency, legislators last year created the position of state immunization officer, who is in charge of ruling whether a medical exemption is warranted. Having the state immunization officer has reduced complaints to legislators, Gupta said, “and significantly reduced criticism” of the vaccination requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California and elsewhere, non-medical exemptions have created pockets of unvaccinated children that have facilitated the spread of potentially life-threatening diseases, particularly measles and pertussis, according to a 2016 research review published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most at-risk groups for the diseases are infants who are too young to be vaccinated and individuals with compromised immune systems, Sawyer said. On July 15, a previously healthy 5-month-old San Diego infant died of pertussis, according to the San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency. On the same day, a 51-year-old San Diego man said to have underlying health issues died of complications from chicken pox, the health agency said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

I think other states will follow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The likelihood is very strong that the end result will be fewer cases of vaccine-preventable diseases in California,” said Arthur Reingold, professor of epidemiology at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health. Several studies have documented that the easier it is for parents to decline to immunize their children, the higher the opt-out rates are and the greater the risk of outbreaks of measles and pertussis, also known as whooping cough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the absence of a federal law requiring school children to be immunized, state governments set the standards. Every state allows children to be exempt from vaccinations if they have a medical reason, such as a compromised immune system or a severe allergy. But 47 states allow parents to choose not to vaccinate their children because of a personal or religious opposition to vaccination. A parent’s right not to vaccinate a child based on beliefs has been defeated several times in Supreme Court rulings that state there is a greater public good in widespread immunization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>West Virginia instituted its vaccination requirements in 1987, has been strengthening them ever since and has never had a religious or personal belief exemption. Mississippi set its vaccination requirements in 1972, never had a personal belief exemption and ended its religious exemption in 1979, when the state Supreme Court ruled against such exemptions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the ensuing decades, the fraudulent paper on the possible link between vaccinations and autism by Andrew Wakefield, a British doctor who was stripped of his medical license by a government review board, has sowed fear in parents and wreaked havoc on vaccination rates in Europe and, to a lesser extent, in the U.S. Both Gupta and Dobbs noted that it is far easier never to have had exemptions to vaccination requirements, or to have removed them decades ago, than to remove them in 2015 as California did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>West Virginia legislators continue to strengthen vaccination laws and in 2015 extended vaccination requirements to preschoolers. Amid complaints from a few parents that medical exemptions were being granted or denied without consistency, legislators last year created the position of state immunization officer, who is in charge of ruling whether a medical exemption is warranted. Having the state immunization officer has reduced complaints to legislators, Gupta said, “and significantly reduced criticism” of the vaccination requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California and elsewhere, non-medical exemptions have created pockets of unvaccinated children that have facilitated the spread of potentially life-threatening diseases, particularly measles and pertussis, according to a 2016 research review published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most at-risk groups for the diseases are infants who are too young to be vaccinated and individuals with compromised immune systems, Sawyer said. On July 15, a previously healthy 5-month-old San Diego infant died of pertussis, according to the San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency. On the same day, a 51-year-old San Diego man said to have underlying health issues died of complications from chicken pox, the health agency said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The chairs are mostly empty.

She \u003c/span>lets the thought linger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/272619227″ params=”color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false” width=”100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">She’s sitting in a corner table, on the phone with her fiance’s mother. Her fiance, Marty, was shot last weekend, no, the weekend before. Tiera is exhausted and can’t quite remember the days. She’s “lost in the time,” she says. (We’re using only Marty’s first name, to protect his privacy). \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera is tiny, bird-thin. She’s 27 and beautiful, but you see can the fatigue in her eyes. She tells her fiance’s mother she had a breakdown last night. After 11 days at the hospital, she cried and lost it, a little. She and Marty have been together 2½ years, but they got engaged the week before the shooting.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marty was shot twice during a robbery, she says. He was carrying the rent money she had just given him, another thing to worry about, but she doesn’t have time for that right now. Not while he’s fighting for his life.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The last time he spoke to her was when he called from the ambulance. It was the last time he was conscious. He told her he loved her. She told him she loved him, too. She could hear the effort in his voice. And then he faded out. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It’s not just her: She has her 3-year-old son to worry about, too. Her fiance, he’s the one her son calls his daddy.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“My son knows he’s in the hospital, and he knows Mommy’s going to take care of him.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">I\u003c/span>n the Bay Area there are 88 black men for every 100 black women, according to \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/2016/07/06/why-black-women-significantly-outnumber-black-men-in-the-bay-area/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a KQED analysis\u003c/a>. Nationwide, there are \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/04/20/upshot/missing-black-men.html\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">83 black men for every 100 black women\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The reasons for those disparities include incarceration and premature death. There is no such disparity among whites.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But in some Bay Area neighborhoods, the gap between the number of black men and women is much higher. One of those neighborhoods is in East Oakland, around the housing project known as \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/09/us/09bcoakland.html?_r=0\">Lockwood Gardens\u003c/a>, where there are 56 black men for every 100 women.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera’s dad grew up in The Gardens. She grew up just across from it, in a housing project everyone knew as The Village. Both were notorious, famous for having armed guards on the roof, part of the empire of the late Oakland drug kingpin \u003ca href=\"http://www.biography.com/people/felix-mitchell-487984\">Felix Mitchell\u003c/a>. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera was going to meet with me to talk about life in The Village and in The Gardens. But then her fiance was shot. So we are meeting at Highland Hospital.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When Tiera was growing up, her father was in prison, doing what she calls “penitentiary time.” Her mother, she says, “was sick. She had an illness, which was a drug.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11012431\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11012431\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/Tierawithherparents.jpg\" alt=\"Tiera McGill with her parents in East Oakland. \" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/Tierawithherparents.jpg 720w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/Tierawithherparents-400x533.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tiera McGill with her parents in East Oakland. \u003ccite>(Photo: Tiera McGill )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Her mom is clean now. She’s around for her daughter. But it wasn’t always like that. When Tiera was little, her older brother, Terrence, was the most stable force in her life.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera says that when her mom was using, she never left them “\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">in like drug houses or anything like that.” “She would send us to Texas,” Tiera explains, or to Denver, to places where they had relatives who could take care of them.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Sometimes she’d ride with us and sometimes she wouldn’t,” Tiera says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For three years, when Tiera was between the ages of 6 and 9 and Terrance was between the ages of 7 and 10, he would look after her as they traveled across the country on a Greyhound, by themselves, with the phone number of one of their aunts in their pockets and directions to call when they arrived.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It was just me and Terrance for a long time,” she says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Years later, Tiera was living with her mom in Texas when they got the phone call. Terrance, who had looked after her when no one else did, was dead.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">He was killed in an altercation with Oakland police. It was 2003. Tiera was 15. The city later \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/OAKLAND-Family-of-man-slain-by-police-settles-2718618.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">paid $50,000\u003c/a> to settle the family’s civil rights lawsuit. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“My brother like, I’m 27 — they killed him at 20. I feel like I haven’t lived, not a lot — just a little bit of life. And at 20, I thought he was doing a lot, and I seen him living, but really he wasn’t living,” she sighs. “He didn’t get to do anything.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">After her brother died, Tiera came back to Oakland. She went to McClymonds High School. She fell in love. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">His name was Damien. He was older, a protector like her brother had been. “He made sure I stayed going to school, he made sure I stayed going to work,” Tiera explains.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">They were together six years.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2008, he was killed.” She stops for a moment looking down at her hands. She has never stopped loving him. “It’s still hard to live with that.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Her breath catches. “It’s like I’m living it again,” she says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But she knows this isn’t the same. Her fiance, Marty, is still alive. Damien is dead.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Both Damien and Marty were shot in East Oakland. As Tiera talks, she realizes they were shot on the same street — Damian on the lower part of 76th Avenue, and her fiance further up, closer to the hills.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I just thought about that as I’m talking to you.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the world of East Oakland, 76th Avenue isn’t much different from other streets. Single-family homes lined up next to each other in small square plots, some of them are the worse for wear, boarded up or crumbling. Some of them with small gates in front, a garden, a cared-for yard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera says neither Damien nor her fiance were involved in anything that would make them a target. Yet they were shot.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Avoid the streets,” she says, shaking her head and sighing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">A\u003c/span> few years after Damien died, Tiera became pregnant. The father is still a part of their son’s life, but they were never really a couple.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera didn’t go through her pregnancy alone. She had her best friend, Robert Dell.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera met Robert at a local youth center, \u003ca href=\"http://www.youthuprising.org/\">Youth Uprising\u003c/a>, where they both worked. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera says Robert saw her as she was — sad and angry, but with a kind heart. She trusted him. She let him in. He went to Lamaze classes with her so she wouldn’t be alone.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Three years ago, she was on her way to a doctor’s appointment, in the final month of her pregnancy, when she passed 72\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">nd\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Avenue.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">She noticed it was blocked off with police caution tape. She knew Robert lived on that street, but she didn’t think much of it. He was a youth mentor, one of the ones helping other kids get off the streets. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">She learned he was dead while she sat in the waiting room at the OB-GYN’s office.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">She was 24 and had already had lost her brother, her first love, and now, her best friend.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">H\u003c/span>er son is named for all three: LaVelle Neimad Terrance Clark. LaVelle was Robert’s middle name. Neimad is Damien spelled backward. And Terrance, for her brother.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">His personality is like a little bit of all three of them — it’s so wild,” she laughs softly. Talking about her son is just about the only time she smiles right now. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“They live on in him,” she says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Perhaps the person her son has helped to live on the most is Tiera herself.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“He took a lot of anger away from me. I used to be so angry, and I used to be so mean, I didn’t care about people’s feelings, I was just so sad like all the time, I just didn’t care.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">He’s the source of healing and the source of her not inconsiderable strength.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have to be strong for him, and I have to be here for him. I cannot let him end up as a statistic. It’s not gonna happen. I have to just keep fighting for him, so he can see, ‘Mommy went through some things, Mommy’s strong,’ ” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prayer has helped, although Tiera acknowledges that God has “been throwing battles at me, he throws ‘em.” But she hasn’t lost her faith. “They say, ‘He won’t put too much on you that you cannot bear.’ You just gotta keep on getting through them.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera doesn’t think the losses she has suffered set her apart. She knows too many women, including her mother, who have had to bury the men they loved.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Look at all the men – that’s a lot of men, that we lost, that I just lost.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">If she blames anyone, sometimes she blames herself. “It’s kinda like, ‘What am I doing wrong? I’m at the age – I need to get my men up out of here.’ But it’s like,” she pauses as she considers leaving Oakland, “it’s home.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Her fiance, Marty, is home now, getting stronger every day. They are talking about moving to Modesto after they get married. Tiera just wants to be somewhere they will be safe. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera doesn’t want to give up on her city. But she wants her son to have a fighting chance.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n",

She tells her fiance’s mother she had a breakdown last night. After 11 days at the hospital, she cried and lost it, a little. She and Marty have been together 2½ years, but they got engaged the week before the shooting.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marty was shot twice during a robbery, she says. He was carrying the rent money she had just given him, another thing to worry about, but she doesn’t have time for that right now. Not while he’s fighting for his life.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The last time he spoke to her was when he called from the ambulance. It was the last time he was conscious. He told her he loved her. She told him she loved him, too. She could hear the effort in his voice. And then he faded out. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It’s not just her: She has her 3-year-old son to worry about, too. Her fiance, he’s the one her son calls his daddy.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“My son knows he’s in the hospital, and he knows Mommy’s going to take care of him.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">I\u003c/span>n the Bay Area there are 88 black men for every 100 black women, according to \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/2016/07/06/why-black-women-significantly-outnumber-black-men-in-the-bay-area/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a KQED analysis\u003c/a>.

The reasons for those disparities include incarceration and premature death. There is no such disparity among whites.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But in some Bay Area neighborhoods, the gap between the number of black men and women is much higher. One of those neighborhoods is in East Oakland, around the housing project known as \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/09/us/09bcoakland.html?_r=0\">Lockwood Gardens\u003c/a>, where there are 56 black men for every 100 women.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera’s dad grew up in The Gardens. She grew up just across from it, in a housing project everyone knew as The Village. Both were notorious, famous for having armed guards on the roof, part of the empire of the late Oakland drug kingpin \u003ca href=\"http://www.biography.com/people/felix-mitchell-487984\">Felix Mitchell\u003c/a>. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera was going to meet with me to talk about life in The Village and in The Gardens. But then her fiance was shot. So we are meeting at Highland Hospital.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When Tiera was growing up, her father was in prison, doing what she calls “penitentiary time.” Her mother, she says, “was sick. She had an illness, which was a drug.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11012431\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11012431\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/Tierawithherparents.jpg\" alt=\"Tiera McGill with her parents in East Oakland. \" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/Tierawithherparents.jpg 720w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/Tierawithherparents-400x533.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tiera McGill with her parents in East Oakland. \u003ccite>(Photo: Tiera McGill )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Her mom is clean now. She’s around for her daughter. But it wasn’t always like that. When Tiera was little, her older brother, Terrence, was the most stable force in her life.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera says that when her mom was using, she never left them “\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">in like drug houses or anything like that.” “She would send us to Texas,” Tiera explains, or to Denver, to places where they had relatives who could take care of them.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Sometimes she’d ride with us and sometimes she wouldn’t,” Tiera says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For three years, when Tiera was between the ages of 6 and 9 and Terrance was between the ages of 7 and 10, he would look after her as they traveled across the country on a Greyhound, by themselves, with the phone number of one of their aunts in their pockets and directions to call when they arrived.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It was just me and Terrance for a long time,” she says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Years later, Tiera was living with her mom in Texas when they got the phone call. Terrance, who had looked after her when no one else did, was dead.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">He was killed in an altercation with Oakland police. It was 2003. Tiera was 15. The city later \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/OAKLAND-Family-of-man-slain-by-police-settles-2718618.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">paid $50,000\u003c/a> to settle the family’s civil rights lawsuit. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“My brother like, I’m 27 — they killed him at 20. I feel like I haven’t lived, not a lot — just a little bit of life. And at 20, I thought he was doing a lot, and I seen him living, but really he wasn’t living,” she sighs. “He didn’t get to do anything.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">After her brother died, Tiera came back to Oakland. She went to McClymonds High School. She fell in love. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">His name was Damien. He was older, a protector like her brother had been. “He made sure I stayed going to school, he made sure I stayed going to work,” Tiera explains.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">They were together six years.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2008, he was killed.” She stops for a moment looking down at her hands. She has never stopped loving him. “It’s still hard to live with that.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Her breath catches. “It’s like I’m living it again,” she says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But she knows this isn’t the same. Her fiance, Marty, is still alive. Damien is dead.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Both Damien and Marty were shot in East Oakland. As Tiera talks, she realizes they were shot on the same street — Damian on the lower part of 76th Avenue, and her fiance further up, closer to the hills.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I just thought about that as I’m talking to you.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the world of East Oakland, 76th Avenue isn’t much different from other streets. Single-family homes lined up next to each other in small square plots, some of them are the worse for wear, boarded up or crumbling. Some of them with small gates in front, a garden, a cared-for yard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera says neither Damien nor her fiance were involved in anything that would make them a target. Yet they were shot.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Avoid the streets,” she says, shaking her head and sighing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">A\u003c/span> few years after Damien died, Tiera became pregnant. The father is still a part of their son’s life, but they were never really a couple.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera didn’t go through her pregnancy alone. She had her best friend, Robert Dell.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera met Robert at a local youth center, \u003ca href=\"http://www.youthuprising.org/\">Youth Uprising\u003c/a>, where they both worked. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera says Robert saw her as she was — sad and angry, but with a kind heart. She trusted him. She let him in. He went to Lamaze classes with her so she wouldn’t be alone.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Three years ago, she was on her way to a doctor’s appointment, in the final month of her pregnancy, when she passed 72\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">nd\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Avenue.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">She noticed it was blocked off with police caution tape. She knew Robert lived on that street, but she didn’t think much of it. He was a youth mentor, one of the ones helping other kids get off the streets. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">She learned he was dead while she sat in the waiting room at the OB-GYN’s office.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">She was 24 and had already had lost her brother, her first love, and now, her best friend.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">H\u003c/span>er son is named for all three: LaVelle Neimad Terrance Clark. LaVelle was Robert’s middle name. Neimad is Damien spelled backward. And Terrance, for her brother.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">His personality is like a little bit of all three of them — it’s so wild,” she laughs softly. Talking about her son is just about the only time she smiles right now. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“They live on in him,” she says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Perhaps the person her son has helped to live on the most is Tiera herself.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“He took a lot of anger away from me. I used to be so angry, and I used to be so mean, I didn’t care about people’s feelings, I was just so sad like all the time, I just didn’t care.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">He’s the source of healing and the source of her not inconsiderable strength.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have to be strong for him, and I have to be here for him. I cannot let him end up as a statistic. It’s not gonna happen. I have to just keep fighting for him, so he can see, ‘Mommy went through some things, Mommy’s strong,’ ” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prayer has helped, although Tiera acknowledges that God has “been throwing battles at me, he throws ‘em.” But she hasn’t lost her faith. “They say, ‘He won’t put too much on you that you cannot bear.’ You just gotta keep on getting through them.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiera doesn’t think the losses she has suffered set her apart. She knows too many women, including her mother, who have had to bury the men they loved.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Look at all the men – that’s a lot of men, that we lost, that I just lost.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">If she blames anyone, sometimes she blames herself. “It’s kinda like, ‘What am I doing wrong? I’m at the age – I need to get my men up out of here.’ But it’s like,” she pauses as she considers leaving Oakland, “it’s home.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Her fiance, Marty, is home now, getting stronger every day. They are talking about moving to Modesto after they get married. Tiera just wants to be somewhere they will be safe. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The goal is to give these students help applying to a Cal State campus and provide help to earn a degree after they’re enrolled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just some college exposure reduces the recidivism rate by 43 percent,” said Cal State Fullerton professor Brady Heiner, who’s overseeing the launch of Project Rebound on his campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Program officials said recidivism, the rate at which ex-convicts commit new crimes that land them back in jail, is as high as 61 percent within the first three years after a person completes his or her sentence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/272494347\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If one is not inclined or persuaded by the social justice argument in favor of expanding access to \u003ca href=\"http://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR266.html\">higher education to currently and formerly incarcerated groups\u003c/a>, the cost-benefit analysis is crystal clear,” because it's cheaper to educate a person than to house them in prison, Heiner said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each campus will start the program with about $75,000 in grant funds. Campuses hope to hire program coordinators who have served time in prison and have earned their college degrees. A person with that kind of background will serve as a role model for students and should provide insight into the stumbling blocks the formerly incarcerated face when trying to earn a degree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our idea is to let them know what kind of career that they can have, what kind of barriers there might be,” said CSU San Bernardino professor Annika Anderson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they have a sex offense they probably might want to stay away from careers that involve children, or if they have a drug offense maybe that might prohibit them from getting into certain kinds of programs associated with criminal justice,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"GOIGShDqqdcycyzG9MYFn2OdSw0KmtFc\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ex-convicts are already enrolled in the Cal State campuses, Anderson said, but officials don’t know how many because the university system doesn’t ask about prior convictions on college applications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Project Rebound staff will also pay visits to area prisons and jails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reintegration programs have been run through the Cal State system before. Claude Gonzales was helped by such a program, after serving two years in prison. He was incarcerated just after graduating from high school when he and a group of friends robbed a liquor store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of my friends hopped over the counter and grabbed the cash register. Me and another friend started grabbing money out of the register,” said Gonzales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A reintegration program run out of Cal Poly Pomona guided him to apply to the Pomona campus. He filled out the applications and financial aid forms and has sought help mostly on his own. It wasn’t easy, he said, because he had fears of being turned down and feeling out of place on a college campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you get out, the only people you can network with are the people who got you in there in the first place,” Gonzales said. \"You need to network with people who are successful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the fall he will begin his third year at the Pomona campus, studying computer information systems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to role models, it's hard to argue against Jason Bell as the Project Rebound poster child. He's been the director of the \u003ca href=\"http://asi.sfsu.edu/programs/project-rebound\">Project Rebound office at San Francisco State University \u003c/a>for 11 years. That office is serving as a model for the new offices because it’s been operating for nearly 50 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s the hands-on support and personal care for each student” that has helped hundreds of formerly incarcerated students earn their degrees, Bell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He speaks from experience when asked about the barriers for an ex-con to get a college degree.

Campuses hope to hire program coordinators who have served time in prison and have earned their college degrees. A person with that kind of background will serve as a role model for students and should provide insight into the stumbling blocks the formerly incarcerated face when trying to earn a degree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our idea is to let them know what kind of career that they can have, what kind of barriers there might be,” said CSU San Bernardino professor Annika Anderson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they have a sex offense they probably might want to stay away from careers that involve children, or if they have a drug offense maybe that might prohibit them from getting into certain kinds of programs associated with criminal justice,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ex-convicts are already enrolled in the Cal State campuses, Anderson said, but officials don’t know how many because the university system doesn’t ask about prior convictions on college applications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Project Rebound staff will also pay visits to area prisons and jails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reintegration programs have been run through the Cal State system before. Claude Gonzales was helped by such a program, after serving two years in prison. He was incarcerated just after graduating from high school when he and a group of friends robbed a liquor store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of my friends hopped over the counter and grabbed the cash register. Me and another friend started grabbing money out of the register,” said Gonzales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A reintegration program run out of Cal Poly Pomona guided him to apply to the Pomona campus. He filled out the applications and financial aid forms and has sought help mostly on his own. It wasn’t easy, he said, because he had fears of being turned down and feeling out of place on a college campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you get out, the only people you can network with are the people who got you in there in the first place,” Gonzales said. \"You need to network with people who are successful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the fall he will begin his third year at the Pomona campus, studying computer information systems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to role models, it's hard to argue against Jason Bell as the Project Rebound poster child. He's been the director of the \u003ca href=\"http://asi.sfsu.edu/programs/project-rebound\">Project Rebound office at San Francisco State University \u003c/a>for 11 years. That office is serving as a model for the new offices because it’s been operating for nearly 50 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s the hands-on support and personal care for each student” that has helped hundreds of formerly incarcerated students earn their degrees, Bell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He speaks from experience when asked about the barriers for an ex-con to get a college degree. After Bell served nine years at San Quentin State Prison for attempted murder, Project Rebound helped him find a place to live while he earned his bachelor’s degree in sociology and his master’s degree in counseling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CORRECTION: A previous version of this story said the California recidivism rate was 75 percent.

Pero, realísticamente, ¿ayudará aquella bibliotecaria más a los que aprenden inglés que un especialista en lenguas?” pregunta Ybarra.

Otra manera es mediante las sesiones semanales de consejería en grupo.

Pero el año entrante el dinero se destinará a otra posición. Por ende, Oak Ridge tendrá que valerse de otra vertiente de fondos federales para mantener en función el centro.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Me parece que el trabajo que realizamos no necesita comentario”, afirma Coburn. “Servimos a tantos estudiantes, y yo creo que somos un bien de mucho valor dentro de la escuela y la comunidad.
