The driver of the truck sped off to the police department for help, but the man died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muhammad then shot at another person and missed. He aimed at a third, killing him on the sidewalk of a neighborhood lined with tall trees. The final victim was gunned down in the parking lot of a charity building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These individuals who were chosen today did not do anything to deserve what they got,\" Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer said. \"These were unprovoked attacks by an individual that was intent on carrying out homicides today.

Hughes came home to see a body draped in a blanket on the sidewalk leading to his front door.\u003cbr>\nHe first thought the shooting was gang-related, but then he noticed the bag of groceries near the body.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This guy doesn't look like a drug guy. It looks like a guy carrying his groceries home from the store,\" Hughes said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muhammad had a criminal past and was wanted in connection with a shooting last week that killed a security guard at a Fresno motel who had responded to a disturbance. The security guard also was a white man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On what appeared to be Muhammad's Facebook page, he repeatedly posted \"#LetBlackPeopleGo\" and encouraged \"black warriors\" to \"mount up.\" A flurry of posts emerged in the past day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He wrote that his \"kill rate increases tremendously on the other side\" and also posted about \"white devils.\" On several occasions, he wrote updates that included the phrase \"Allahu Akbar,\" meaning \"God is great\" in Arabic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muhammad has a criminal history that includes arrests on weapons, drugs and false imprisonment charges and making terrorist threats. He had been associated with gangs but was not a confirmed member, police say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muhammad was charged in 2005 with possessing cocaine with intent to distribute, court records show. Federal prosecutors said at the time that he was also in possession of a 9mm semi-automatic handgun and two rifles after being convicted of a felony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He claimed insanity, and his attorney requested a psychiatric examination for his client, saying Muhammad \"appeared eccentric with some bizarre beliefs.\" A psychiatrist who examined Muhammad believed he had psychosis, Muhammad's attorney said in the court filing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also \"suffered auditory hallucinations and had at least two prior mental health hospitalizations,\" according to court documents. His attorney said that Muhammad had \"paranoia\" and thought the justice system and his defense attorney were conspiring against him, court papers said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attorney who represented Muhammad in that case did not return a call for comment Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public records list Muhammad as Cory Taylor and other aliases with addresses in Fresno and Sacramento. A woman who identified herself as Taylor's grandmother said Tuesday that the family last saw him on Easter Sunday. She hung up the phone before giving her name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities spotted Muhammad running and took him into custody. Police are looking for the revolver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police say two of the victims may have been clients of Catholic Charities, which provides a variety of services for refugees, the homeless and those for disabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Catholic Charities doesn't believe Muhammad has ties to the nonprofit, spokeswoman Teresa Dominguez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seyed Ali Ghazvini, imam of the Islamic Cultural Center of Fresno, said Muhammad was not a member of his congregation and he did not recognize him. The imam said he is consulting with other faith leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are very sorry for this to happen,\" Ghazvini said. \"We offer condolences for the victims, we pray for the victims and their families.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story has been updated and corrected to show that police say the suspect posted on social media that he dislikes white people, not that he told officers that. Also Seyed Ali Ghazvini's first name was misspelled Sayed.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

He took his wife and they stayed until the very end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The people that come around to clean up after the movie’s over, they were looking at us wondering why we were still there. I was waiting for the credits, you know, to see it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It” was the name of the gospel band The Supreme Jubilees. Sanders was the lead singer and songwriter. The title track of their self-released LP \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://lightintheattic.net/releases/1368-it-ll-all-be-over\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It’ll All Be Over”\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> played during one scene in “Moonlight.” Sanders wrote the song almost 40 years ago. He never expected this. His reaction to the credits? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Wow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D82kFc9nHUU\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years, Sanders has led a church band on his organ keyboard. He and his six siblings pretty much grew up in the Witness of Jesus Christ Church here in Southwest Fresno. After all, their dad, Marion Sanders, was the pastor for four decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was a singer, too, says Sanders. “He had a gospel quartet with his brothers, the Humble Singers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Sanders was a kid, he would watch other people play the piano. Then he’d go home and try to mimic the sound on his parents’ upright. He never had a piano lesson — Sanders learned to play by ear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11374523\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11374523\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/ChurchSign-800x761.jpg\" alt=\"The Sanders brothers grew up in The Witness of Jesus Christ Church.\" width=\"800\" height=\"761\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/ChurchSign-800x761.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/ChurchSign-160x152.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/ChurchSign-1020x971.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/ChurchSign.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/ChurchSign-1180x1123.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/ChurchSign-960x914.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/ChurchSign-240x228.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/ChurchSign-375x357.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/ChurchSign-520x495.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Sanders brothers grew up in the Witness of Jesus Christ Church. \u003ccite>(Alice Daniel/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“If you play for a Pentecostal church, you have to learn to play all types of songs in every key because there’s no structure.

I don’t need your input,’ ” Sanders says, laughing. “And so my cousin Joe was like, ‘Yeah, but we want a little more bass.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More bass than the engineer could handle. He kicked them out before The Supreme Jubilees could record the rest of the album. They took it to another studio in Visalia and after the vinyl was pressed, the band piled into Sanders’ old van and struck out for Texas. People were comparing them to the gospel group the Mighty Clouds of Joy, and they played with them and other acts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They sold their records at concerts but it wasn’t all glitz and glamour. The promoter lied about the money they’d get, Sanders says. The trips in the van with all of their equipment and clothes wore them down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Eleven to 12 of us in one motel room!” Sanders says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My older cousins wanted to keep going down South,” says Sanders. “But nooooo, we were going back to California.” The band members moved on to other things, day jobs, family.

He took his wife and they stayed until the very end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The people that come around to clean up after the movie’s over, they were looking at us wondering why we were still there. I was waiting for the credits, you know, to see it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It” was the name of the gospel band The Supreme Jubilees. Sanders was the lead singer and songwriter.

We wanted a little more bass,” says Sanders. But the engineer balked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was like, ‘I know what I’m doing. I don’t need your input,’ ” Sanders says, laughing. “And so my cousin Joe was like, ‘Yeah, but we want a little more bass.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More bass than the engineer could handle. He kicked them out before The Supreme Jubilees could record the rest of the album. They took it to another studio in Visalia and after the vinyl was pressed, the band piled into Sanders’ old van and struck out for Texas. People were comparing them to the gospel group the Mighty Clouds of Joy, and they played with them and other acts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They sold their records at concerts but it wasn’t all glitz and glamour. The promoter lied about the money they’d get, Sanders says. The trips in the van with all of their equipment and clothes wore them down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Eleven to 12 of us in one motel room!” Sanders says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My older cousins wanted to keep going down South,” says Sanders. “But nooooo, we were going back to California.” The band members moved on to other things, day jobs, family.

She helps Southeast Asian refugees acclimate to the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On this rainy day, she’s working with a dozen older Hmong men and women who find life in America really hard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yang instructs them in a crafts activity: decorating little paper gift boxes to fill with chocolate and give to a friend or relative. “It’s something to uplift them and keep them in the present moment,” she says. “And it gives them a chance to just be with each other.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yong Yang Xiong, 66, works on a red paper box at a long table littered with art supplies. Like the others here, he also goes to a weekly therapy group to talk about his problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I come here they [counselors] help me out. I’m not just by myself but in a group and everybody shares, and that helps ease up the depression,” says Yong Yang through an interpreter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11353290\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11353290 size-large\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/photo-6-1020x765.jpg\" alt=\"Counselors at the Center for New Americans lead group activities with clients suffering from depression.

The clients chose not to be in the picture. \u003ccite>(Alice Daniel/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Ghia Xiong is a psychologist with the center. He says activities and group therapy sessions provide peer support and help with depression, which is rampant in this population. Life is so different here, he says, and all the worries about money, jobs and transportation often lead to feelings of hopelessness and helplessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Xiong says life back home was much simpler. “… Just as long as you have a field to farm, and a jungle where you can go hunt and get food, and a river where you can get fish for your family,” Xiong says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back home is Laos. The Hmong knew the land well and were instrumental in helping the CIA fight its secret war against the Communists. When the long war ended, tens of thousands of Hmong were deserted. They fled on foot to refugee camps in Thailand and eventually resettled in the U.S. The second wave of refugees arrived only 13 years ago — among them was Yong Yang Xiong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ghia Xiong says there are many refugees like Yong Yang. “So now they’re carrying all this and they’re coming to therapy and we say, ‘Let’s talk about things that are really troubling to you,’ and they’re saying, ‘Do I trust you, are you sure you’re going to keep it confidential?’ I don’t know what confidentiality means. I mean that doesn’t exist in our culture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Xiong says it takes a very long time for most clients to open up even a little bit, to just scratch the surface of their sorrow. It’s almost anathema to their culture to talk about their deepest feelings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s why group therapy is the best option at first, he says, because it gives them some basic tools to talk about themselves with the support of their peers. “Many do not understand yet or are not ready for individual therapy. They may not have the necessary resources or skills to really begin exploring depression,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost every older client, most of them in their mid-50s and 60s, comes into the center with symptoms of depression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of Yong Yang Xiong’s depression comes from so much physical pain. He fought for six years in Laos.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘Many do not understand yet or are not ready for individual therapy. They may not have the necessary resources or skills to really begin exploring depression.’ \u003ccite>Ghia Xiong\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“As a petite man, I was given very heavy loads to carry for days and nights,” he says. “This is a reason why physically I’m not well now. I have a really bad back. It’s been bothering me a lot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yong Yang lived in refugee camps for 26 years before coming to Fresno. He wanted to get a job but employers said he was too old, and he couldn’t speak English.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of this stresses him out. Sometimes he’ll take an anxiety medication. “When I feel like I’m very depressed, I take the medication so it kind of like eases my mind, kind of like I’m slowly not thinking about all the stress and pain that I have, so it helps from time to time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The language barrier also makes him and other Hmong elders feel isolated. During group activities at the center, they have a chance to talk with each other about that isolation. Joua Thao, a college student who is interning here, points to a woman putting a sticker on the paper gift box she’s just made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She chose an owl because she only knows Hmong, and then her grandson only knows English, and then the only thing they both know is ‘owl,’ ” Thao says. It’s the grandmother’s way of reaching out to her grandson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the past nine years, the center has offered culturally sensitive mental health services for hundreds of refugees with depression under the \u003ca href=\"http://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/mh/Pages/MH_Prop63.aspx\">Mental Health Services Act, \u003c/a>or Proposition 63. The program is called Living Well or Kaj Siab in Hmong. Counselors say Kaj Siab means to feel better, to see a better light at the end of the tunnel, to have better self-esteem. It’s a term that makes more sense to the Hmong than mental health. Aside from therapy groups, the program also offers community gardening and wellness walks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11353229\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11353229\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/photo-4-1020x1360.jpg\" alt=\"Vong Vang Xiong fought in Laos for six years in the CIA's Secret War.

So now the center is starting to go to where people live. It just got a grant through the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdph.ca.gov/programs/Pages/Old%20-%20CaliforniaReducingDisparitiesProject.aspx\">California Reducing Disparities Project\u003c/a> to hire a program director, Melanie Vang.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Part of my role is to do recruitment, through Hmong radio, Hmong TV, or through house visits or connecting through friends and families,” Vang says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On this day, she’s\u003c/span> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">asking to visit the home of a widow she’s heard is depressed.

But the door opens and we are allowed inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pa Vang lives in this home. Pa means flower and there are artificial flowers and photos everywhere. But she can hardly see them because she’s going blind. She’s got diabetes; it’s so bad she needs dialysis. Her husband died a few years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She used to be a home health aide and an activist in the Hmong community, but now the days are long for her. Listening to Hmong folk music helps. Melanie interprets for her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By listening to the music, I was able to at least kind of like ease myself out of pain and stress and depression,” Pa says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Melanie suggests Pa come to the Fresno Center for New Americans to try out some of their services, and maybe even group therapy. Pa is receptive to the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would like to attend some of these program to help me. However, I have dialysis three times a week. And now that I have a visual problem, I cannot drive,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Melanie Vang tells her the center plans to provide some transportation for clients in the near future.

The Hmong knew the land well and were instrumental in helping the CIA fight its secret war against the Communists. When the long war ended, tens of thousands of Hmong were deserted. They fled on foot to refugee camps in Thailand and eventually resettled in the U.S. The second wave of refugees arrived only 13 years ago — among them was Yong Yang Xiong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ghia Xiong says there are many refugees like Yong Yang. “So now they’re carrying all this and they’re coming to therapy and we say, ‘Let’s talk about things that are really troubling to you,’ and they’re saying, ‘Do I trust you, are you sure you’re going to keep it confidential?’ I don’t know what confidentiality means. I mean that doesn’t exist in our culture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Xiong says it takes a very long time for most clients to open up even a little bit, to just scratch the surface of their sorrow. It’s almost anathema to their culture to talk about their deepest feelings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s why group therapy is the best option at first, he says, because it gives them some basic tools to talk about themselves with the support of their peers. “Many do not understand yet or are not ready for individual therapy. They may not have the necessary resources or skills to really begin exploring depression,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost every older client, most of them in their mid-50s and 60s, comes into the center with symptoms of depression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of Yong Yang Xiong’s depression comes from so much physical pain. He fought for six years in Laos.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘Many do not understand yet or are not ready for individual therapy. They may not have the necessary resources or skills to really begin exploring depression.’ \u003ccite>Ghia Xiong\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“As a petite man, I was given very heavy loads to carry for days and nights,” he says. “This is a reason why physically I’m not well now. I have a really bad back. It’s been bothering me a lot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yong Yang lived in refugee camps for 26 years before coming to Fresno. He wanted to get a job but employers said he was too old, and he couldn’t speak English.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of this stresses him out. Sometimes he’ll take an anxiety medication. “When I feel like I’m very depressed, I take the medication so it kind of like eases my mind, kind of like I’m slowly not thinking about all the stress and pain that I have, so it helps from time to time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The language barrier also makes him and other Hmong elders feel isolated. During group activities at the center, they have a chance to talk with each other about that isolation. Joua Thao, a college student who is interning here, points to a woman putting a sticker on the paper gift box she’s just made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She chose an owl because she only knows Hmong, and then her grandson only knows English, and then the only thing they both know is ‘owl,’ ” Thao says. It’s the grandmother’s way of reaching out to her grandson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the past nine years, the center has offered culturally sensitive mental health services for hundreds of refugees with depression under the \u003ca href=\"http://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/mh/Pages/MH_Prop63.aspx\">Mental Health Services Act, \u003c/a>or Proposition 63. The program is called Living Well or Kaj Siab in Hmong. Counselors say Kaj Siab means to feel better, to see a better light at the end of the tunnel, to have better self-esteem. It’s a term that makes more sense to the Hmong than mental health. Aside from therapy groups, the program also offers community gardening and wellness walks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11353229\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11353229\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/photo-4-1020x1360.jpg\" alt=\"Vong Vang Xiong fought in Laos for six years in the CIA's Secret War.

Ghia Xiong says depression is also rampant in these groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while the center has helped a lot of people, Xiong worries that there are many who are not seeking help or don’t even know that help exists. So now the center is starting to go to where people live. It just got a grant through the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdph.ca.gov/programs/Pages/Old%20-%20CaliforniaReducingDisparitiesProject.aspx\">California Reducing Disparities Project\u003c/a> to hire a program director, Melanie Vang.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Part of my role is to do recruitment, through Hmong radio, Hmong TV, or through house visits or connecting through friends and families,” Vang says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On this day, she’s\u003c/span> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">asking to visit the home of a widow she’s heard is depressed. There’s a branch of greenery hanging from her door.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Culturally if they have some kind of a green thing on the door, we normally have to ask them if we can go inside the house because spiritually the door is locked,” she tells me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It means the family is protecting the house from bad spirits and may not let us in. But the door opens and we are allowed inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pa Vang lives in this home. Pa means flower and there are artificial flowers and photos everywhere. But she can hardly see them because she’s going blind. She’s got diabetes; it’s so bad she needs dialysis. Her husband died a few years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She used to be a home health aide and an activist in the Hmong community, but now the days are long for her. Listening to Hmong folk music helps. Melanie interprets for her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By listening to the music, I was able to at least kind of like ease myself out of pain and stress and depression,” Pa says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Melanie suggests Pa come to the Fresno Center for New Americans to try out some of their services, and maybe even group therapy. Pa is receptive to the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would like to attend some of these program to help me. However, I have dialysis three times a week. And now that I have a visual problem, I cannot drive,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Melanie Vang tells her the center plans to provide some transportation for clients in the near future. And hopefully, that will mean one less door for her to knock on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The show billed itself as the “hippest trip in America, 60 non-stop minutes across the tracks of your mind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flashback to 1979, when the Electric Boogaloos \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkc8YduPnOM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">made their first appearance\u003c/a> dancing to the Bar-Kays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Host Don Cornelius introduces the dance crew, saying: “These very creative young men have invented a dancing style that’s becoming very popular, and it’s described as popping or boogaloo.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sammy Solomon introduces himself as “\u003ca href=\"https://tropicsofmeta.wordpress.com/2017/01/05/the-story-of-boogaloo-sam-as-told-by-izel-gaye/\">Boogaloo Sam\u003c/a>, specializing in boogaloo.” His brother, Timothy Solomon, introduces himself as “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b341AFiucAY\">Popin’ Pete\u003c/a>.” To the audience’s delight, he demonstrates his moves, his body jerking robotically or popping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Solomon brothers hail from Fresno. Turns out, popping is a dance rooted not in the Bronx or Los Angeles, but in California’s Central Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkc8YduPnOM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Electric Boogaloos were pioneers,” says Fresno State historian Sean Slusser. “They helped to popularize popping by getting on ‘Soul Train’ and working with artists like Michael Jackson.” Popin’ Pete worked with Jackson on “Thriller.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a historian, Slusser is intrigued by the genesis of popping. Bigger cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and Atlanta get a lot of credit for innovations in hip-hop. But what about smaller places like Fresno? Why aren’t hip-hop artists’ stories from these places told?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re using hip-hop the same way, right? It’s a vehicle of expression, it’s a way to kind of get through economic depression, get through all the kinds of problems we associate with cities,” says Slusser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He and his colleague, Romeo Guzman, decided an oral history project was in order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project, “\u003ca href=\"https://tropicsofmeta.wordpress.com/2017/01/05/straight-outta-fresno-hip-hop-dance-from-popping-to-b-boying-and-b-girling/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Straight Outta Fresno: Hip Hop Dance from Popping to B-Boying and B-Girling\u003c/a>,” will be archived at Fresno State as part of the university’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/FresnoStatePublicHistory/\">Valley Public History Initiative: Preserving Our Stories\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11257432\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11257432 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/20161119_134907-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"20161119_134907\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/20161119_134907-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/20161119_134907-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/20161119_134907-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/20161119_134907-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/20161119_134907-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/20161119_134907-960x540.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/20161119_134907-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/20161119_134907-375x211.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/20161119_134907-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">B-boy Goku (Charles Montgomery) dances for an audience at the Fresno State ‘What’s Popping’ event in November.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The historians and their students are hoping to build Fresno’s hip-hop narrative by interviewing anyone who identifies with the culture: graffiti artists, MCs, DJs and hip-hop dancers, including B-boys, B-girls, lockers and poppers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hip-hop in general and dancers are protective of their history,” Slusser says. “They’re amazing in the sense that they’re really into documenting ‘this is where this move came from, this is the person who originated it, here’s how it evolved, here’s how it changed over time,’ in this old-school oral history way. There’s this passing down of knowledge over dance moves, arguing over minute details.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”uyWrP2D0P8EWpVxIZOfxXnpcttsQ8O2I”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that includes popping. Its exact origins are still up for debate, Slusser says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One story that’s kind of emerged around Boogaloo Sam was that he was in church, in a Baptist church in Fresno,” says Slusser. Apparently, the dancer witnessed women catching the Holy Spirit and later mimicked those movements and spasms in his routine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there’s a competing origin story. It revolves around a kid named Tick’n Will, who danced with the Solomon brothers in Fresno and was a member of the original Boogaloo Lockers. Tick’n Will lived in Fresno’s Tulare housing project and created moves like the “old man,” imitating a man limping down the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whether it’s the church or referencing people you see day to day, that’s the beauty of hip-hop,” says Slusser. “It’s being able to take something that wasn’t meant to be a dance or wasn’t meant to be visual art and creating something new out of it. It makes perfect sense for populations that don’t have access to other resources like art and music classes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11262097\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11262097 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/DebFresno-800x947.jpg\" alt=\"Dancer Deborah McCoy gave her oral history as part of Fresno State’s “What’s Popping” event in November.\" width=\"800\" height=\"947\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/DebFresno-800x947.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/DebFresno-160x189.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/DebFresno-1020x1208.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/DebFresno.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/DebFresno-1180x1397.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/DebFresno-960x1137.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/DebFresno-240x284.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/DebFresno-375x444.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/DebFresno-520x616.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dancer Deborah McCoy gave her oral history as part of Fresno State’s ‘What’s Popping’ event in November. \u003ccite>(Valley Public History Initiative)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>All of these origin stories will be part of the oral history archive.

There were a lot of street dancers. We knew them all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCoy and her brother, Ken, were a dancing team. They traveled the state competing and winning contests everywhere they went.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I remember we danced in an Armenian church,” McCoy says. “They called us. At a church! Wow. We were like, OK. Back in the day, dance and church did not mix! I don’t care who you were, did not mix! You were going straight to hell!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCoy says her family didn’t have much money but they still managed to wear fabulous costumes. Her stepmom was a seamstress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We would go to thrift stores and buy material, so she would sew all of our clothes,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b341AFiucAY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As he records her oral history, Slusser asks her where she learned her dance styles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From the street, what you mean, what you mean where were we learning?” she says. “On the street. There was no. … Are you kidding? I have to say it like this. ‘You’re black and you’re gonna go take dance lessons?’ Come on, dude. It’s on the street. It’s right there. They were called battles. There’s no fighting and all that. You wanna fight? OK, we’re dancing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, hip-hop in Fresno evolved. In the ’90s, dance battles involved kids whose parents were refugees from Laos after the Vietnam War.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everybody talks about Fresno when it comes to B-boy and the Hmong community,” says James Vang. He grew up in a rough area in the ’90s and stayed away from gangs by breakin.’ He says Hmong B-boys made a name for themselves in Fresno and then spread out to other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So they brought that B-boy history over there to start dancing. So now you’ve got B-boys in Sacramento, Minnesota, North Carolina and Wisconsin.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP_oKLbaHRc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That history and how it influenced future generations is just one of the chapters Fresno State hopes to document next for its oral history archive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Popin’ Pete and Boogaloo Sam, they’re still dancing.

There’s this passing down of knowledge over dance moves, arguing over minute details.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that includes popping. Its exact origins are still up for debate, Slusser says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One story that’s kind of emerged around Boogaloo Sam was that he was in church, in a Baptist church in Fresno,” says Slusser. Apparently, the dancer witnessed women catching the Holy Spirit and later mimicked those movements and spasms in his routine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there’s a competing origin story. It revolves around a kid named Tick’n Will, who danced with the Solomon brothers in Fresno and was a member of the original Boogaloo Lockers. Tick’n Will lived in Fresno’s Tulare housing project and created moves like the “old man,” imitating a man limping down the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whether it’s the church or referencing people you see day to day, that’s the beauty of hip-hop,” says Slusser. “It’s being able to take something that wasn’t meant to be a dance or wasn’t meant to be visual art and creating something new out of it. It makes perfect sense for populations that don’t have access to other resources like art and music classes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11262097\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11262097 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/DebFresno-800x947.jpg\" alt=\"Dancer Deborah McCoy gave her oral history as part of Fresno State’s “What’s Popping” event in November.\" width=\"800\" height=\"947\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/DebFresno-800x947.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/DebFresno-160x189.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/DebFresno-1020x1208.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/DebFresno.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/DebFresno-1180x1397.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/DebFresno-960x1137.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/DebFresno-240x284.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/DebFresno-375x444.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/01/DebFresno-520x616.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dancer Deborah McCoy gave her oral history as part of Fresno State’s ‘What’s Popping’ event in November. \u003ccite>(Valley Public History Initiative)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>All of these origin stories will be part of the oral history archive.

In addition to the game-worn jerseys, fans could buy T-shirts declaring their loyalty to Teams Lengua, al Pastor, Carnitas and Carne Asada, or choose a cap with a jaunty taco truck or tank top in the pseudo-sarape design. And two weeks after the game, the Grizzlies added a design that parodies Donald Trump's \"Make America Great Again\" -- a red cap that promises \"Taco Trucks on Every Corner.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paul Royer had organized a group of his co-workers to come to the game. Sporting a giant foam hat in the shape of a taco, Royer said food trucks are a fundamental part of Central Valley culture. \"I'm from Bakersfield, and if you go downtown on a weekend in Bakersfield, there are food trucks everywhere. We're out here having fun -- Fresno, Bakersfield, Central Valley, this is what we do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the baseball side of the game, it also proved to be a success. The Tacos scored a walk-off in the 11th inning to send the fans home happy, and full of tacos: 34,820 of them, to be exact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And for those who overindulged and needed the next day to recover, the team \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BJOvf9BAAhc/\">provided a note to their employers \u003c/a>via Instagram, confirming the diagnosis of \"Postprandial Taco Somnolence, or, in layman’s terms, Taco Coma.

That's where Grizzlies' marketing director Sam Hansen came in -- with tacos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/281849503&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/281849503'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a successful taco-themed event last year, this year the team took it up several notches.

And the city of Fresno joined in, co-hosting the annual Taco Truck Throwdown around the ballpark's perimeter.

In addition to the game-worn jerseys, fans could buy T-shirts declaring their loyalty to Teams Lengua, al Pastor, Carnitas and Carne Asada, or choose a cap with a jaunty taco truck or tank top in the pseudo-sarape design. And two weeks after the game, the Grizzlies added a design that parodies Donald Trump's \"Make America Great Again\" -- a red cap that promises \"Taco Trucks on Every Corner.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paul Royer had organized a group of his co-workers to come to the game. Sporting a giant foam hat in the shape of a taco, Royer said food trucks are a fundamental part of Central Valley culture. \"I'm from Bakersfield, and if you go downtown on a weekend in Bakersfield, there are food trucks everywhere. We're out here having fun -- Fresno, Bakersfield, Central Valley, this is what we do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the baseball side of the game, it also proved to be a success. The Tacos scored a walk-off in the 11th inning to send the fans home happy, and full of tacos: 34,820 of them, to be exact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And for those who overindulged and needed the next day to recover, the team \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BJOvf9BAAhc/\">provided a note to their employers \u003c/a>via Instagram, confirming the diagnosis of \"Postprandial Taco Somnolence, or, in layman’s terms, Taco Coma.

But what he has to do, what he has to do at some point is to impose discipline when officers use excessive force.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez hired a former Los Angeles sheriff’s lieutenant to review Fresno’s officer-involved shootings, and found that over nine years, there were 87 incidents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11021227\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11021227\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/FresnoPDProtesters-800x551.jpg\" alt='In one protest this week, about 200 people shouted \"No Justice, No Peace\" outside the Fresno Police Department.' width=\"800\" height=\"551\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/FresnoPDProtesters-800x551.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/FresnoPDProtesters-400x275.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/FresnoPDProtesters.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/FresnoPDProtesters-1180x812.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/07/FresnoPDProtesters-960x661.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">In one protest this week, about 200 people shouted “No Justice, No Peace” outside the Fresno Police Department. \u003ccite>(Alice Daniel/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Robert Weisberg, co-director of the Stanford Criminal Justice Center, says those numbers could raise red flags, but he adds, Jerry Dyer is one of the most widely respected police chiefs in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is certainly not a chief who is insensitive to the need to train and monitor police in all the ways that reformers are calling for,” Weisberg says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Fresno has not typically been at the center of reform protests statewide, there are many local activists who have been working on police accountability issues for decades, especially in the city’s relatively small African-American community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take the Rev.
