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.",

Ongoing issues include price differences between medical and recreational pot and whether longtime growers are getting locked out of a more tightly regulated environment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California's growers want to avoid such scenarios. Association members say the state's medical marijuana laws are too loose to offer guidance or protection, so they have been collaborating with the drug reform groups that are crafting ballot language for a 2016 legalization campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The growers' organization says pot farms should be overseen by the state agriculture department, as vineyards are, and that any licensing system should employ a tiered approach that leaves room for small \"craft cultivators.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One sign that the growers are being heard was a two-day field trip that \u003ca href=\"http://humboldtcounty.nationbuilder.com/\" target=\"_blank\">California Cannabis Voice Humboldt\u003c/a>, an advocacy group, organized last week for two members of the state tax board, which is providing input for the drafters of the legalization initiative on how recreational weed could be taxed.

The suspect, Francis Pusok, 30, fled in a vehicle through unincorporated areas and the town of Apple Valley. He then allegedly abandoned the vehicle \"40 miles away from Hesperia in a place called Bowen Ranch,\" NBC said. He then took off on foot and eventually stole the horse, according to police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-san-bernardino-deputies-kick-man-pursuit-20150409-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">L.A.

Thirteen blows appeared to be to the head. The horse stood idly nearby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The man did not appear to move from his position lying on the ground for more than 45 minutes. He did not appear to receive medical attention while deputies stood around him during that time.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>A sheriff's spokesperson told NBC that the suspect did not appear to have a weapon.

And that was it -- that's all they had. My father, my mom, myself, my sister and my uncle lived in that space for two years.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The people in the photographs are the personification of \u003cem>gambatte,\u003c/em> a Japanese word that means \"don't give up, do your best.\" It inspired the name of the exhibition: \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiamuseum.org/gambatte\" target=\"_blank\">\"Gambatte! Legacy of an Enduring Spirit.\"\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It speaks to the spirit of (those) who were incarcerated during World War II,\" says Kitagaki, who is a photographer with the Sacramento Bee. \"And it’s how, from their inner spirit, they did not let anything hold them back, and they persevered and moved beyond the internment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>'So Many Nameless People'\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kitagaki has persevered, too. Remarkably, he had never heard of the internment until he was a teenager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My family didn’t talk about their experience being interned,\" says Kitagaki, a Bay Area native who is almost 61. \"I really didn’t find out until I learned in a high school class in 1970 when I was 16. And then I went home and basically asked my parents: What was going on? What happened? Why didn’t you talk about this?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost a decade later, he got another big surprise: His uncle mentioned that Lange -- a famed documentary photographer -- had taken a picture of Kitagaki's grandparents, father and aunt in Oakland, waiting for a bus that would bring them to an assembly center at \u003ca href=\"http://encyclopedia.densho.org/Tanforan_(detention_facility)/\" target=\"_blank\">Tanforan Racetrack\u003c/a>, where the San Bruno BART Station now stands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1984, Kitagaki visited the \u003ca href=\"http://www.archives.gov/research/alic/reference/military/japanese-internment.html\" target=\"_blank\">National Archives\u003c/a> in Washington and went through boxes and boxes of photographs taken by Lange for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfmuseum.org/hist10/relocbook.html\" target=\"_blank\">War Relocation Authority.\u003c/a> Finally, he found the one she'd shot of his family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There (were) so many faces ... looking up at me when I was flipping through the pictures,\" he says. \"And there were so many nameless people. And I really wanted to find out what happened to their lives.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2005, his quest began. He was determined to locate the people in the historic photos and photograph them again, often where the original image had been taken. He went to Japanese churches, summer bazaars and other gatherings where someone might recognize their pictures. His first subjects were his father and aunt, at the same building in Oakland where Lange had encountered them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's one of the most challenging projects of my career,\" Kitagaki says. \"I'm working with pictures that are more than 70 years old. There's barely any caption information, and almost no names. It's quite challenging to put a name with the person, and then try to track them down and see if they're alive. The other challenge is that they're Japanese, and they like to hold their emotions inside.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn't easy to get people to agree to be photographed -- and also to be interviewed at length.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They thought I was going to come in and snap a picture and be out of their hair in a second,\" Kitagaki says. \"Instead, I was using a 4x5 camera and black-and-white film, and my setups were taking longer than they thought. It might be an hour to figure out a location and have them stand for a picture.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says some of his subjects became very emotional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It did bring back memories,\" says Gladys Matsumoto Katsuki, 88, of Sacramento. \"I still wonder why all of this happened to us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course it happened to \u003ca href=\"http://www.gaic.info\" target=\"_blank\">German-Americans\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/magazine/article/A-SECRET-HISTORY-The-harassment-of-Italians-2866287.php\" target=\"_blank\">Italian-Americans,\u003c/a> too, to a much lesser extent. And it could happen again to other groups, say some internees, who are acutely mindful of how civil rights \u003ca href=\"http://www.usccr.gov/pubs/ARAB_MUSLIM_9-30-14.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">have been violated\u003c/a> in the years since 9/11.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Leaving Everything Behind\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1943, Ansel Adams ran across the 15-year-old Katsuki in \u003ca href=\"http://www.nps.gov/manz/learn/historyculture/japanese-americans-at-manzanar.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Manzanar\u003c/a> as she was walking home from school with two other girls. Her parents were farmers in Elk Grove on Feb. 19, 1942, when President \u003ca href=\"http://www.fdrlibrary.marist.edu/education/resources/bio_fdr.html\" target=\"_blank\">Franklin D. Roosevelt\u003c/a> issued \u003ca href=\"http://www.loc.gov/teachers/classroommaterials/connections/manzanar/history2.html\" target=\"_blank\">Executive Order 9066,\u003c/a> which led to the internment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When we left, the strawberries were red, ripe,\" she says. \"And we had to leave everything behind. ... It was devastating because they worked so hard to get this property – and then to have it taken away from you. When we came back, it was all gone.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She looks again at Adams' Manzanar photo. It was lunchtime, she says, and she was the one in the middle. There were often sudden winds and lots of sand, which would gust around and matte her hair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have two kids,\" she says. \"I've told them about what we went through, but they can't seem to visualize it. They just say, 'Why?' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10482637\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/04/gladys.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10482637\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/04/gladys-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Gladys Matsumoto Katsuki stands in front of a 1943 Manzanar photo by Ansel Adams, top left, where she's in the middle.

Now he's 74. Like Kitagaki, he recalls how reluctant his family was to talk about what had happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he bought his mother a computer to write her autobiography, her account of the internment took up just a few sentences. \"I said, 'Mom, there's more than that. We were there for 3½ years. There's more than that.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a long time, he tried to find Takashi Uchida, the other boy in the mess-hall photograph. It turned out that Uchida had suffered a stroke and was in a nursing home in Las Vegas. Hayashida paid a visit and presented him with a gift: a custom-made T-shirt with the Ansel Adams photo of the two of them at Manzanar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another retired engineer, 81-year-old Andrew Nozaka of Saratoga, was almost 9 when he and his family were incarcerated.

And that was it -- that's all they had. My father, my mom, myself, my sister and my uncle lived in that space for two years.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The people in the photographs are the personification of \u003cem>gambatte,\u003c/em> a Japanese word that means \"don't give up, do your best.\" It inspired the name of the exhibition: \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiamuseum.org/gambatte\" target=\"_blank\">\"Gambatte! Legacy of an Enduring Spirit.\"\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It speaks to the spirit of (those) who were incarcerated during World War II,\" says Kitagaki, who is a photographer with the Sacramento Bee. \"And it’s how, from their inner spirit, they did not let anything hold them back, and they persevered and moved beyond the internment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>'So Many Nameless People'\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kitagaki has persevered, too. Remarkably, he had never heard of the internment until he was a teenager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My family didn’t talk about their experience being interned,\" says Kitagaki, a Bay Area native who is almost 61. \"I really didn’t find out until I learned in a high school class in 1970 when I was 16. And then I went home and basically asked my parents: What was going on? What happened? Why didn’t you talk about this?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost a decade later, he got another big surprise: His uncle mentioned that Lange -- a famed documentary photographer -- had taken a picture of Kitagaki's grandparents, father and aunt in Oakland, waiting for a bus that would bring them to an assembly center at \u003ca href=\"http://encyclopedia.densho.org/Tanforan_(detention_facility)/\" target=\"_blank\">Tanforan Racetrack\u003c/a>, where the San Bruno BART Station now stands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1984, Kitagaki visited the \u003ca href=\"http://www.archives.gov/research/alic/reference/military/japanese-internment.html\" target=\"_blank\">National Archives\u003c/a> in Washington and went through boxes and boxes of photographs taken by Lange for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfmuseum.org/hist10/relocbook.html\" target=\"_blank\">War Relocation Authority.\u003c/a> Finally, he found the one she'd shot of his family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There (were) so many faces ... looking up at me when I was flipping through the pictures,\" he says. \"And there were so many nameless people. And I really wanted to find out what happened to their lives.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2005, his quest began. He was determined to locate the people in the historic photos and photograph them again, often where the original image had been taken. He went to Japanese churches, summer bazaars and other gatherings where someone might recognize their pictures. His first subjects were his father and aunt, at the same building in Oakland where Lange had encountered them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's one of the most challenging projects of my career,\" Kitagaki says. \"I'm working with pictures that are more than 70 years old. There's barely any caption information, and almost no names. It's quite challenging to put a name with the person, and then try to track them down and see if they're alive. The other challenge is that they're Japanese, and they like to hold their emotions inside.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn't easy to get people to agree to be photographed -- and also to be interviewed at length.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They thought I was going to come in and snap a picture and be out of their hair in a second,\" Kitagaki says. \"Instead, I was using a 4x5 camera and black-and-white film, and my setups were taking longer than they thought. It might be an hour to figure out a location and have them stand for a picture.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says some of his subjects became very emotional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It did bring back memories,\" says Gladys Matsumoto Katsuki, 88, of Sacramento. \"I still wonder why all of this happened to us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course it happened to \u003ca href=\"http://www.gaic.info\" target=\"_blank\">German-Americans\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/magazine/article/A-SECRET-HISTORY-The-harassment-of-Italians-2866287.php\" target=\"_blank\">Italian-Americans,\u003c/a> too, to a much lesser extent. And it could happen again to other groups, say some internees, who are acutely mindful of how civil rights \u003ca href=\"http://www.usccr.gov/pubs/ARAB_MUSLIM_9-30-14.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">have been violated\u003c/a> in the years since 9/11.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Leaving Everything Behind\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1943, Ansel Adams ran across the 15-year-old Katsuki in \u003ca href=\"http://www.nps.gov/manz/learn/historyculture/japanese-americans-at-manzanar.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Manzanar\u003c/a> as she was walking home from school with two other girls.

It was devastating because they worked so hard to get this property – and then to have it taken away from you. When we came back, it was all gone.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She looks again at Adams' Manzanar photo. It was lunchtime, she says, and she was the one in the middle. There were often sudden winds and lots of sand, which would gust around and matte her hair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have two kids,\" she says. \"I've told them about what we went through, but they can't seem to visualize it.

Like Kitagaki, he recalls how reluctant his family was to talk about what had happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he bought his mother a computer to write her autobiography, her account of the internment took up just a few sentences. \"I said, 'Mom, there's more than that. We were there for 3½ years. There's more than that.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a long time, he tried to find Takashi Uchida, the other boy in the mess-hall photograph. It turned out that Uchida had suffered a stroke and was in a nursing home in Las Vegas. Hayashida paid a visit and presented him with a gift: a custom-made T-shirt with the Ansel Adams photo of the two of them at Manzanar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another retired engineer, 81-year-old Andrew Nozaka of Saratoga, was almost 9 when he and his family were incarcerated. He still remembers the route the bus took, going past his house on Ashby Avenue in Berkeley on its way to San Bruno. That's where Lange saw them, standing in front of the grandstand. His mother, in Lange's photograph, is asking for help finding their barracks. He's holding her purse and a metal mess kit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That day was a loss of innocence,\" Nozaka says, as he stares at the photo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10482639\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/04/nozaka.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10482639\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/04/nozaka-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Andrew Nozaka visits the California Museum in Sacramento.

Andrew needed to travel over 25 miles to and from chemotherapy treatments several times a week without a car, and he was terrified to bring his immuno-compromised 2-year-old on the bus.
