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.",

"content": "\u003cp>Berkeley-born actor Roger Guenveur Smith is channeling the ghost of Anne Frank’s father, Otto, during a fraught time in Europe, as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine continues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In this particular international moment, what he brings to the table is extraordinary and extraordinarily vital,” he said. “It is necessary — this conversation that he has with his daughter beyond her time and beyond his time as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith, perhaps best known for his collaborations with Spike Lee (“Do The Right Thing,” “Malcolm X”), returns home for a limited run (through March 27) of his solo performance piece “Otto Frank,” which runs through March 27 at the Magic Theatre’s Fort Mason site in San Francisco. He draws on the style of his other one-man shows — which center Black historical figures such as Huey Newton and Rodney King.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith spoke with KQED morning host Brian Watt about his decision to embody Otto Frank, and how he represents contemporary issues focused on race and religion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This interview has been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Brian Watt: I read that you got the idea for this performance after visiting Anne Frank’s home in Amsterdam.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roger Guenveur Smith: I had the opportunity to go there because I was invited to do my “\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/zjauUcjAXh0\">Rodney King\u003c/a>” solo in Amsterdam. It was a place that I knew that I had to go to. I stood in line with everybody else and I was extraordinarily inspired. The image that kept coming back to me was of a man who would come back to what was his home — his improvised home after the war — knowing that he had lost his wife in the death camp, but hoping that he would be reunited with his daughters. Of course, he was not, but he was reunited with the diary that he had given to Anne for her 13th birthday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You have been involved in representing other historic figures, whether it’s collaborating with Spike Lee alongside Denzel Washington for “Malcolm X,” Huey Newton, Rodney King. So why focus on Otto Frank now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m the father of two daughters, and certainly this story moved me before I went to Amsterdam. Otto Frank is a man about whom we should know much more. I think he’s kind of an enigma, even though he lived a long and productive life as a steward of his daughter’s work. So the first dilemma [he faced] is, “Do I share this? Do I destroy this? Do I get it out there internationally as my daughter would probably like me to do?” He went with his daughter’s wishes: She desired a certain notoriety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I watched you perform “A Huey P. Newton Story” in a theater in Los Angeles. Huey Newton is a different character than Otto Frank, but I see similarities in how you built your presentations of both men. How do you get historical figures to talk about contemporary issues?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As with all of our pieces that are historically driven, we don’t want the audience to simply come to the theater and then leave the theater and say, “Wasn’t it horrible? What happened way back then?” We want our work to resonate in the present moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, I was doing \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NA79VdfySkI\">[“A Huey P. Newton Story”]\u003c/a> in New York when Biggie Smalls was murdered in Los Angeles. Everyone who came to the theater that weekend, that’s all they were thinking of. They weren’t thinking about Huey Newton. So I imagined that Huey had watched an interview of this young Biggie, Christopher Wallace, on the streets of Brooklyn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s where we take people imaginatively in the theater — just as Otto Frank talks about things that happened after he was deceased, [like] the shooting at the National Holocaust Museum. That was June 10, 2009. An 88-year-old white supremacist walked into the museum with a rifle, and a young Black security guard stepped in front of him. He was shot and killed in the process of saving untold people. I should like to think that Otto Frank was privy to that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Otto lived through the worst atrocities of World War II. How is his ghost seeing present-day Europe as Russia invades Ukraine? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He is [also] privy to what’s going on right now in Ukraine … and let’s not forget about Somalia – just as he’s privy to what happened in Charleston, Pittsburgh and Christchurch.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It was a place that I knew that I had to go to. I stood in line with everybody else and I was extraordinarily inspired. The image that kept coming back to me was of a man who would come back to what was his home — his improvised home after the war — knowing that he had lost his wife in the death camp, but hoping that he would be reunited with his daughters. Of course, he was not, but he was reunited with the diary that he had given to Anne for her 13th birthday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You have been involved in representing other historic figures, whether it’s collaborating with Spike Lee alongside Denzel Washington for “Malcolm X,” Huey Newton, Rodney King. So why focus on Otto Frank now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m the father of two daughters, and certainly this story moved me before I went to Amsterdam. Otto Frank is a man about whom we should know much more. I think he’s kind of an enigma, even though he lived a long and productive life as a steward of his daughter’s work. So the first dilemma [he faced] is, “Do I share this? Do I destroy this? Do I get it out there internationally as my daughter would probably like me to do?” He went with his daughter’s wishes: She desired a certain notoriety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I watched you perform “A Huey P. Newton Story” in a theater in Los Angeles. Huey Newton is a different character than Otto Frank, but I see similarities in how you built your presentations of both men. How do you get historical figures to talk about contemporary issues?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As with all of our pieces that are historically driven, we don’t want the audience to simply come to the theater and then leave the theater and say, “Wasn’t it horrible? What happened way back then?” We want our work to resonate in the present moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, I was doing \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NA79VdfySkI\">[“A Huey P. Newton Story”]\u003c/a> in New York when Biggie Smalls was murdered in Los Angeles. Everyone who came to the theater that weekend, that’s all they were thinking of. They weren’t thinking about Huey Newton. So I imagined that Huey had watched an interview of this young Biggie, Christopher Wallace, on the streets of Brooklyn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s where we take people imaginatively in the theater — just as Otto Frank talks about things that happened after he was deceased, [like] the shooting at the National Holocaust Museum. That was June 10, 2009. An 88-year-old white supremacist walked into the museum with a rifle, and a young Black security guard stepped in front of him. He was shot and killed in the process of saving untold people. I should like to think that Otto Frank was privy to that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Otto lived through the worst atrocities of World War II. How is his ghost seeing present-day Europe as Russia invades Ukraine? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He is [also] privy to what’s going on right now in Ukraine … and let’s not forget about Somalia – just as he’s privy to what happened in Charleston, Pittsburgh and Christchurch.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

There were 952 incidents reported — an 86 percent increase from 2016.

All reported incidents are assessed by ADL staff members for credibility by seeking independent verification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A confluence of events in 2017 led to a surge in attacks on our community — from bomb threats, cemetery desecrations, white supremacists marching in Charlottesville, and children harassing children at school,\" said CEO and National Director Jonathan A.

On college campuses, there were 204 incidents: an 89 percent increase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the first time since 2010, an incident occurred in every U.S. state. New York, California and New Jersey were states with the highest numbers of incidents, which the ADL attributes to their large Jewish populations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vandalism saw the highest increase in terms of types of incidents. There were 952 incidents reported — an 86 percent increase from 2016. The surge in anti-Semitic acts of vandalism is particularly upsetting, says the ADL, \"because it indicates that the perpetrators feel emboldened enough to break the law.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Physical assaults were down by 47 percent, from 36 instances in 2016 to 19 in 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were 1,015 incidents of harassment in 2017; 163 of these were part of a spree of\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/02/27/517539505/bomb-threats-made-against-jewish-community-centers-in-11-states\"> bomb threats made against Jewish institutions\u003c/a>. Those organizations were subject to 342 total anti-Semitic incidents in 2017 — an increase of 101 percent over the 170 incidents recorded in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ADL doesn't include instances of discrimination, such as a Jewish worker not receiving an accommodation for Rosh Hashanah, or general expressions of hateful ideologies in their audit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An \"incident\" in this audit doesn't necessarily mean a single act of anti-Semitism. For instance, 170 Jewish tombstones were overturned in a Missouri cemetery in February 2017, and the act was counted as one incident by the ADL.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This family is all family. These stones are all our stones. No matter who's here, they're my family. They're Jews who have been desecrated,\" Jody Serkes, who had family members buried in the cemetery, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/02/21/516488403/headstones-vandalized-at-jewish-cemetery-in-missouri\">told NPR last year\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know, people have permission now,\" Serkes continued, speaking on the climate of ignorance and fear she believed President Trump had allowed. \"They think in their minds their ignorance and fear is permission to be angry about anything.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An ADL \u003ca href=\"https://www.adl.org/news/press-releases/anti-semitic-incidents-surged-nearly-60-in-2017-according-to-new-adl-report\">press release\u003c/a> noted that one \"bright spot\" in this was the response of Muslims and Christians who raised thousands of dollars to help repair the damaged tombstones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we expect law enforcement officials and community members to take these incidents seriously, we must take them seriously — and report them, both to ADL and to the police,\" the press release said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

After a new police transparency law unsealed scores of internal affairs files, our reporters set out to examine these cases and the shadow world of police discipline. On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
