His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"headTitle": "KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>Acting quickly and quietly, city workers early Thursday morning removed a controversial Christopher Columbus from its perch atop San Francisco's Telegraph Hill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move was ordered with little notice by Mayor London Breed, just a day before protesters had reportedly \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/FitzTheReporter/status/1273641748477116416\">planned to topple the 12-foot bronze statue\u003c/a> of the 15th century explorer and throw it off Pier 31 into the bay. The statue, which stood adjacent to Coit Tower, had already been defaced multiple times recently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was removed because it doesn’t align with San Francisco’s values or our commitment to racial justice. Doing it quickly was also a matter of public safety,” said Rachelle Axel, Director of Public & Private Partnerships for the San Francisco Arts Commission, which oversees the city's sculptures. “The statue was vandalized three times last week and similar statues across the country have been brought down by citizens during protests.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Axel said the city's quick response was an effort to preempt Friday's potential protest action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A 2-ton statue falling from its pedestal presented a grave risk to citizens,” Axel said in an email. “The statue has been safely placed in storage. We look forward to engaging the community in a meaningful conversation around next steps for the statue, and for the site.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statue's removal has long been sought by activists who say it symbolizes white supremacy in its commemoration of a historical figure who ushered in an era of genocide to North America's indigenous peoples. But those efforts have gained fierce momentum in the last three weeks amid nationwide protests over racial injustice spurred by the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kanyon Coyotewoman Sayers-Roods is a Mutsun Ohlone California Native Two-Spirit activist. They said this was a happy day for indigenous people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I understand some people are getting upset for claiming this may be an agenda for a revisionist narrative,\" they said. \"For me, the statues being erected was a revisionist narrative.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sayers-Roods added, of Columbus, \"He didn't discover anything, he's being celebrated for a mistake\" and for \"the first wave of genocide against indigenous people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"george-floyd\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statue once stood at Coit Tower, which is operated by the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Coit Tower is an emblem of the San Francisco skyline, beloved by visitors for its panoramic views. Racism has no place in that view, or in ours,” Phil Ginsburg, general manager of the Park Department, said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The removal of the statue comes just days after California legislative leaders announced their decision to remove a Columbus statue that has been the centerpiece of the state Capitol rotunda since 1883, “given the deadly impact his arrival in this hemisphere had on indigenous populations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At a time of great unrest and deep reflection both locally and nationally, we recognize that Christopher Columbus is a deeply polarizing figure in our history, and a symbol of pain and oppression to many, including and especially to indigenous people,\" said Supervisor Aaron Peskin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That marks a stark turnaround for Peskin, who represents the North Beach and Telegraph Hill neighborhoods, home to a large Italian-American community, and who has long defended the statue as an important marker of the community's heritage. Last year, when activists doused the sculpture in red paint and graffiti just before the federal Columbus Day holiday, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Columbus-statue-beside-Coit-Tower-vandalized-with-14519035.php\">Peskin told the Chronicle\u003c/a> the act was “a hateful, despicable piece of divisive vandalism.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The statue of Columbus — who was born in Genoa, Italy — was erected in 1957 to celebrate the city's Italian-American community, which have opposed previous efforts to remove it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/FitzTheReporter/status/1273644621466423296\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what statue, if any, should stand atop Telegraph Hill at the foot of Coit Tower?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sayers-Roods, the Ohlone activist, said they would be glad to see a statue of an Italian historical figure who made positive strides, but that any future decision should be collaborative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I would be for the city, the community, and the first people, the Raymatush Ohlone people, being involved in the conversation going forward,\" they said. \"It seems as though the news wants to pit indigenous people against Italian Americans. No, we just don't want to celebrate Columbus. I would joyously celebrate Italian American history for valid reasons.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco, along with a number of other U.S. cities, have also voted in recent years to eliminate Columbus Day from their calendars and replace it with a day honoring indigenous people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Statues of controversial figures have been coming down across the country as government officials rethink the impact and symbolism they have. In Kentucky, officials removed a statue of Jefferson Davis, the only president of the Confederacy, from the state Capitol. And in Virginia, the former capital of the Confederacy, Gov. Ralph Northam has announced plans to remove a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee.\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cp>Among the tens of thousands of Black Lives Matter protesters who continue to pour into the streets of cities across the country — and the world — decrying America's long history of violent, racially unjust policing, one rallying cry has gained particular traction: 'Defund the police.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what that actually means varies widely depending on who you ask, from dismantling or flat-out abolishing existing police forces to slashing their hefty budgets and diverting those funds to social service programs, which proponents say would much better serve and protect many communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Broadly speaking, 'defunding the police' entails minimizing the outsize role law enforcement has come to assume in most U.S. cities as the default responder for all matters of complaints, and delegating many of those responsibilities to unarmed social workers and other behavioral health specialists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we talk about defunding the police, what we’re saying is, ‘Invest in the resources that our communities need,'” Black Lives Matter co-founder \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/5NrRIIeNFfo\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alicia Garza said recently on NBC’s “Meet the Press.\"\u003c/a> So much police response, she added, “is directed toward quality-of-life issues, homelessness, drug addiction, domestic violence and conflict.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As local leaders scramble to institute police reforms — from \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11823629/california-legislative-leaders-back-state-sleeper-hold-ban\">banning chokeholds\u003c/a> to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11824453/state-attorney-general-calls-for-a-way-to-ban-problem-cops-other-police-reforms\">heightening accountability\u003c/a> — many activists argue those tweaks won’t ultimately fix a system they consider fundamentally unjust. Real change, they contend, can only come about through a sweeping process of tearing down police departments and rethinking public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Pricey Business\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Since the 1970s, when tough-on-crime policies took hold, most U.S. cities have \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/06/12/upshot/cities-grew-safer-police-budgets-kept-growing.html\">funneled an increasingly large share of their budgets\u003c/a> into public safety, often at the expense of social service and anti-poverty programs. And police officers have been tasked with an ever-wider range of responsibilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In most cities, spending on local police typically dwarfs investment in just about any other sector. In Oakland, for instance, \u003ca href=\"https://cao-94612.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/FY-2019-21-Adopted-Budget-Policy-Book-FINAL-WEB-VERSION.pdf\">about 20% of the city's entire budget\u003c/a> (total expenditures, not including education) — more than $318 million — goes to policing. That's nearly double the amount of any other city department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until very recently, any proposal to divest from police departments would have been dismissed by most city leaders as politically untenable. But as public pressure mounts in response to the killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police — among many other glaring recent incidents of police brutality — the idea has gained a strong foothold among a small but growing contingent of locally elected leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Case in point: In Minneapolis, the epicenter of the current wave of protests, a veto-proof majority of \u003ca href=\"https://www.mprnews.org/story/2020/06/07/vetoproof-majority-minneapolis-council-members-gives-support-dismantling-police-department\">nine City Council members\u003c/a> recently said they would move to dismantle the city's long-troubled police force, even as the mayor declined to support the effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-04/lapd-budget-cuts-garcetti-protests-explainer\">grabbed headlines\u003c/a> this month when he unveiled a proposal to take $150 million from the city's massive police budget of over $1 billion and reinvest it in jobs programs, health initiatives and other services in communities of color. Although some activists say that doesn't go anywhere far enough, it marks a significant turnaround from April, when the mayor proposed a 7% funding \u003cem>increase\u003c/em> for the police. And on Monday – in an meeting once considered unthinkable – the Los Angeles City Council \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-15/black-lives-matter-lapd-spending-peoples-budget-los-angeles-city-council\">heard from a coalition of activists\u003c/a> who presented a plan to end the city’s reliance on police officers and adopt new community safety strategies.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Lessons From a City That Disbanded the Police\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Disbanding a police department and starting from scratch is not without precedent in the U.S. The city of Camden, New Jersey did it in 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following years of unabated violent crime, the city council \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/12/camden-policing-reforms-313750\">literally shut down the police department\u003c/a> — one that had long been considered inept and corrupt — and created an entirely new non-unionized department under county control. All officers were laid off and had to reapply for their jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the city's homicide rate has plummeted, as have once-plentiful excessive force complaints, while community-police relations seem to have significantly improved. The overhaul wasn’t a panacea by any stretch — problems with police accountability and racial disparities still exist in the city — but the experiment is \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/12/camden-policing-reforms-313750\">generally considered a success\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, however, many liberal leaders wary of appearing soft on crime or of incurring the wrath of powerful police unions are walking a fine line on an inherently thorny issue, acknowledging the need for reforms while clearly remaining reluctant to support sweeping overhauls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"police-violence\"]At a recent forum in Oakland on policing and racism, Gov. Gavin Newsom \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/06/09/gov-newsom-holds-meeting-on-racism-and-system-injustices-in-oakland-visits-miss-ollies/\">tiptoed around the issue\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re calling for eliminating police, no,” he said. “If you’re talking about reimagining and taking the opportunity to look at the responsibility and role that we place on law enforcement to be social workers, mental health workers, get involved in disputes where a badge and a gun are unnecessary, then I think absolutely this is an opportunity to look at all of the above.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, city leaders are beginning to propose policing reforms of various size and scope. None, though, has yet acceded to protesters' demands to completely dismantle or defund entire departments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is the latest on what top local officials have so far proposed in the region's three largest cities, each of which has had its own troubling history of policing in Black and brown communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>San Francisco\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>SFPD budget (2019-20): \u003ca href=\"https://sfmayor.org/sites/default/files/CSF_Budget_Book_June_2019_Final_Web_REV2.pdf\">$695.7 million\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSworn officers: 2,260\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Update: On July 31, San Francisco Mayor London Breed \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11831527/sf-mayor-breeds-new-budget-would-redirect-120-million-from-police-to-citys-black-community\">unveiled a proposed budget\u003c/a> that includes pulling $120 million dollars from law enforcement agencies and putting it into programs that support the city’s largely underserved Black community. The previous month, Breed also directed the police department to no longer\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11824152/san-francisco-police-wont-respond-to-non-criminal-calls\"> respond to noncriminal complaints\u003c/a>, revise its accountability and anti-bias practices and stop using military-grade equipment.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite pressure from activists on the street, Breed made clear she has no intention of dismantling the city's police department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"San Francisco Mayor London Breed\"]'Completely dismantle? It is not something at this time that I think will serve the public.'[/pullquote]“I think it's understandable that people are feeling that way, but the fact is you have people who kill people, you have people who rob people and commit really horrible acts.

Most notably, SFPD \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11824152/san-francisco-police-wont-respond-to-non-criminal-calls\">will no longer respond to noncriminal complaints\u003c/a>, such as neighbor disputes, behavioral health crises and school discipline interventions. For calls that don't involve a threat to public safety, officers would be replaced by trained, unarmed social workers and behavioral health professionals, who Breed said are better equipped to de-escalate conflicts and limit unnecessary confrontations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11824152 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/RS5487_alt_297-1020x765.jpg']“We know that a lack of equity in our society overall leads to a lot of the problems that police are being asked to solve,” Breed said in a statement. “We are going to keep pushing for additional reforms and continue to find ways to reinvest in communities that have historically been underserved and harmed by systemic racism.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed additionally proposed strengthening police accountability and anti-bias policies, and banning the department's use of military-grade weapons. She also joined Supervisor Shamann Walton in calling to divert an unspecified amount of funding from SFPD's budget to support programs in the city's African American community as a reparation for city policies that led to “decades of disinvestment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While few details about that plan have been given, Walton \u003ca href=\"https://missionlocal.org/2020/06/san-francisco-police-chief-bill-scott-open-to-defunding-police-department/#:~:text=The%20chief%2C%20who%20oversees%20a,to%20be%20done%20%E2%80%9Cthoughtfully.%E2%80%9D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told Mission Local\u003c/a> he wanted to see “at least $25 million” redirected from the police department “if we are really trying to change some of the systemic issues oppressing Black people here in San Francisco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed's reform proposals don’t include a budget or specifics, but are rather intended as a set of guidelines for the city's Police Commission and other city agencies to map out over the coming year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott recently said he was \"open\" to defunding a portion of his own department, as long as it's done \"thoughtfully.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re at a time in policing in this country where the whole world is speaking to us and we need to hear what’s being said,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/Defund-San-Francisco-police-Chief-Bill-Scott-15328129.php\">Chief Scott said\u003c/a> during a panel hosted by the Alice B.

The city also plans to convene a committee tasked with shifting public safety resources from enforcement to prevention services, with the \u003ca href=\"https://www.oaklandca.gov/news/2020/oaklands-mid-cycle-budget-cuts-14-3-million-from-police-budget-invests-additional-50-million-to-address-racial-disparities\">eventual stated goal\u003c/a> of reducing OPD's budget by 50%.

Real change, they contend, can only come about through a sweeping process of tearing down police departments and rethinking public safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And police officers have been tasked with an ever-wider range of responsibilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In most cities, spending on local police typically dwarfs investment in just about any other sector. In Oakland, for instance, \u003ca href=\"https://cao-94612.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/FY-2019-21-Adopted-Budget-Policy-Book-FINAL-WEB-VERSION.pdf\">about 20% of the city's entire budget\u003c/a> (total expenditures, not including education) — more than $318 million — goes to policing. That's nearly double the amount of any other city department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until very recently, any proposal to divest from police departments would have been dismissed by most city leaders as politically untenable. But as public pressure mounts in response to the killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police — among many other glaring recent incidents of police brutality — the idea has gained a strong foothold among a small but growing contingent of locally elected leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Case in point: In Minneapolis, the epicenter of the current wave of protests, a veto-proof majority of \u003ca href=\"https://www.mprnews.org/story/2020/06/07/vetoproof-majority-minneapolis-council-members-gives-support-dismantling-police-department\">nine City Council members\u003c/a> recently said they would move to dismantle the city's long-troubled police force, even as the mayor declined to support the effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-04/lapd-budget-cuts-garcetti-protests-explainer\">grabbed headlines\u003c/a> this month when he unveiled a proposal to take $150 million from the city's massive police budget of over $1 billion and reinvest it in jobs programs, health initiatives and other services in communities of color. Although some activists say that doesn't go anywhere far enough, it marks a significant turnaround from April, when the mayor proposed a 7% funding \u003cem>increase\u003c/em> for the police. And on Monday – in an meeting once considered unthinkable – the Los Angeles City Council \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-15/black-lives-matter-lapd-spending-peoples-budget-los-angeles-city-council\">heard from a coalition of activists\u003c/a> who presented a plan to end the city’s reliance on police officers and adopt new community safety strategies.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Lessons From a City That Disbanded the Police\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Disbanding a police department and starting from scratch is not without precedent in the U.S. The city of Camden, New Jersey did it in 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following years of unabated violent crime, the city council \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/12/camden-policing-reforms-313750\">literally shut down the police department\u003c/a> — one that had long been considered inept and corrupt — and created an entirely new non-unionized department under county control. All officers were laid off and had to reapply for their jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the city's homicide rate has plummeted, as have once-plentiful excessive force complaints, while community-police relations seem to have significantly improved. The overhaul wasn’t a panacea by any stretch — problems with police accountability and racial disparities still exist in the city — but the experiment is \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/06/12/camden-policing-reforms-313750\">generally considered a success\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, however, many liberal leaders wary of appearing soft on crime or of incurring the wrath of powerful police unions are walking a fine line on an inherently thorny issue, acknowledging the need for reforms while clearly remaining reluctant to support sweeping overhauls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Slack said there's a lot of frustration among folks in the Central Valley when it comes to injustice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[It's] very agricultural country,” said Slack. “Topics like Black Lives Matter or topics like racial injustice are really kind of pushed to the sideline … you don't talk about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Slack pointed to the Fresno Police Department’s track record, including former police chief Jerry Dyer being \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11736095/the-chief-the-remarkable-sometimes-shocking-career-of-fresnos-top-cop\">sued multiple times\u003c/a> for discrimination. The city paid $300,000 to settle a discrimination lawsuit alleging Dyer sang the plantation song “shortnin’ bread” when referring to Black officers. The department has also been repeatedly sued by family members of people shot and killed by officers. Dyer was recently elected mayor of Fresno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"george-floyd\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Honestly, it's just such a bizarre, bizarre experience,” said Slack. “It feels like that we are literally in a police state at this point. I'm trying not to get too angry because this is such a dominating force and almost suffocating the life out of the minority groups out here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Slack said that the police presence in Fresno often feels suffocating — and is overlooked due to Fresno’s rural location. “You can't go anywhere or do anything without them there,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They're continuously getting funding. Our tax dollars are going towards that. It's a cycle that needs to just be broken,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Slack and the other organizers of the Fresno protests have issued a set of demands, including firing racist police officers and establishing a council where Black and Latinx people have a say in hiring the next police chief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/FS_NAACP/status/1267720833415254017?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Slack first noticed this absence of diversity when his family moved to the Central Valley from Virginia when he was ten years old. His mother was with the Coast Guard and was stationed in Lemoore, where only 5% of the population is Black. Slack said it was a shock to go from a place where there were many other people who looked like him, to a place where he was one of the few Black children in his school — and the only one with an afro or braids. The curriculum was different, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had learned so much about Black history growing up there and when I came out to Lemoore, it felt almost as if that had been watered down,\" he said. \"I was losing a sense of my identity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His father, a film professor, noticed his son struggling with his identity and began showing him movies that reflected the Black experience, culture and history. Slack recalls one of the first was Alex Haley's classic miniseries, \"Roots.\" “I was kind of being exposed to a different side of history than I was being taught. A more graphic version of it,” said Slack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then came Spike Lee’s biopic, \"Malcolm X,\" starring Denzel Washington — another chapter in history Slack didn’t learn about in school. Knowing he was interested in acting, Slack's father also showed him the 1963 film \"Lilies of the Field,\" starring Sydney Poitier, as an example of a Black actor of historical significance. He said those three films hold special significance for him, and watching films with his dad inspired him to become an actor and \u003ca href=\"https://www.jslackimages.com/\">photographer\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11824287\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 666px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11824287\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Joshua-Portrait.jpg\" alt=\"A portrait of photographer, actor and activist Joshua Slack.\" width=\"666\" height=\"674\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Joshua-Portrait.jpg 666w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Joshua-Portrait-160x162.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 666px) 100vw, 666px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A portrait of photographer, actor and activist Joshua Slack. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Joshua Slack)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When shelter-in-place restrictions ease, Slack said he plans to return to acting school in Los Angeles.

His mother was with the Coast Guard and was stationed in Lemoore, where only 5% of the population is Black. Slack said it was a shock to go from a place where there were many other people who looked like him, to a place where he was one of the few Black children in his school — and the only one with an afro or braids. The curriculum was different, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had learned so much about Black history growing up there and when I came out to Lemoore, it felt almost as if that had been watered down,\" he said. \"I was losing a sense of my identity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His father, a film professor, noticed his son struggling with his identity and began showing him movies that reflected the Black experience, culture and history. Slack recalls one of the first was Alex Haley's classic miniseries, \"Roots.\" “I was kind of being exposed to a different side of history than I was being taught. A more graphic version of it,” said Slack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then came Spike Lee’s biopic, \"Malcolm X,\" starring Denzel Washington — another chapter in history Slack didn’t learn about in school. Knowing he was interested in acting, Slack's father also showed him the 1963 film \"Lilies of the Field,\" starring Sydney Poitier, as an example of a Black actor of historical significance. He said those three films hold special significance for him, and watching films with his dad inspired him to become an actor and \u003ca href=\"https://www.jslackimages.com/\">photographer\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11824287\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 666px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11824287\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Joshua-Portrait.jpg\" alt=\"A portrait of photographer, actor and activist Joshua Slack.\" width=\"666\" height=\"674\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Joshua-Portrait.jpg 666w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/06/Joshua-Portrait-160x162.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 666px) 100vw, 666px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A portrait of photographer, actor and activist Joshua Slack. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Joshua Slack)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>When shelter-in-place restrictions ease, Slack said he plans to return to acting school in Los Angeles.

"info": "The MindShift podcast explores the innovations in education that are shaping how kids learn. Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
