"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. 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.",

Get up in the morning, look in the mirror, and say to yourself, you have a responsibility. Then you’ve got to answer that. What is it?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a young university student, Smith was thinking along these lines before he qualified for the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City. In 1967, as the Mexico City Olympics approached, another athlete and activist on campus by the name of \u003ca href=\"https://www.sjsuwordstoaction.com/category/dr-harry-edwards/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harry Edwards\u003c/a> formed the Olympic Project for Human Rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group called for an athlete boycott of the games, to highlight the inequities African-American athletes faced. They wanted more black coaches. They wanted Olympic officials to restore Muhammad Ali’s heavyweight title, to disinvite South Africa and Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) from the Olympics, and to remove Avery Brundage, the controversial International Olympic Committee president, from power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The boycott failed to gain traction, but in the political moment of 1968, after two major assassinations, rolling riots and protests throughout the country, Smith and Carlos were not alone in feeling the charged political atmosphere back home demanded some kind of response, some action to capitalize on the platform they would enjoy with the world’s attention on them for the games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of athletes wore black items of clothing during the Olympics as silent, subtle protests, but Smith and Carlos had something bigger in mind. After they won the gold and bronze, respectively, for their performances in the 200-meter dash, they walked up to receive their medals wearing black scarves to symbolize lynching, as well as black socks with no shoes to symbolize poverty. As the crowd cheered, they each raised a gloved fist to the sky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch the men’s 200-meter race at the 1968 Mexico City Games, and the awards ceremony that follows.

The International Olympic Committee called the protest of black suffering in America “outrageous,” and sent the two men\u003ca href=\"https://diva.sfsu.edu/collections/sfbatv/bundles/206374\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> back to San Jose\u003c/a> the next day. Smith and Carlos received death threats, and the FBI monitored them with the label “rabble rousers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The action … was an insult to the Mexican hosts and a disgrace to the United States,” Avery Brundage, the International Olympic Committee president, wrote in a letter months later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The superstars from “Speed City,” as San Jose State was called at the time, were banned from international track and field competitions. In 1968, Tommie Smith was one of the fastest men on the planet. He set 13 world records, including the one on Oct. 16, 1968.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yV4zvaxeI94]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, attitudes towards what the men did began to change. In 1984, Smith and Carlos became emissaries for the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. They were inducted into the U.S. Track and Field Hall of Fame. And in 2005, the Associated Students of San Jose State University unveiled, in the heart of the campus, a 23-foot-tall sculpture of the two athletes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carlos told the gathering, “W\u003cb>\u003c/b>e had to do something that would be prestigious, respectable, pungent, shocking. We didn’t give the finger. We didn’t wrap the flag around our head or tie it up like a diaper. We didn’t stand there with disrespect. We stood there to say, ‘Hey man, I’m America. I’m your son and I’m wounded. I’m not wounded for me, because I’m one of your heroes. I’m in the Olympics. But I’m wounded for the race.’ […] That’s why we went to Mexico City.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11699653\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11699653\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"John Carlos and Tommie Smith stand in front of the statue memorializing their iconic Olympic moment on the San Jose State University campus.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33278_TommieCarlos_Sculpture_EPE0461-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">John Carlos and Tommie Smith stand in front of the statue memorializing their iconic Olympic moment on the San Jose State University campus. \u003ccite>(Photo: Courtesy of Josie Lepe/San Jose State University )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>He added, “I didn’t choose to be the guy in Mexico City.

After they won the gold and bronze, respectively, for their performances in the 200-meter dash, they walked up to receive their medals wearing black scarves to symbolize lynching, as well as black socks with no shoes to symbolize poverty.

Norway’s team led in medals, with 19, and Germany won more gold — nine medals — in the first week than any other country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S., meanwhile, earned eight medals by Friday, including five gold. Snowboarder Redmond “Red” Gerard, a 17-year-old who overslept on the day of his event and had to borrow a too-big jacket after he couldn’t find his own, clinched Team USA’s first gold medal last Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>North Korean figure skaters made their Olympic debut; a Tongan cross-country skier crossed the finish line after only three months of experience on snow. U.S. and Canadian women’s hockey teams scuffled. Every day, there was curling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is a look at some of the athletes, competition and other highlights of the past week in Pyeongchang. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11650810\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/gettyimages-917171378_custom-3c5eafc2dcaeadf97bd3051f265d64e57b1735f5-s1300-c85-800x511.jpg\" alt=\"Mirai Nagasu of the United States exults after landing a triple axel during the team figure skating event.

Norway’s team led in medals, with 19, and Germany won more gold — nine medals — in the first week than any other country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S., meanwhile, earned eight medals by Friday, including five gold. Snowboarder Redmond “Red” Gerard, a 17-year-old who overslept on the day of his event and had to borrow a too-big jacket after he couldn’t find his own, clinched Team USA’s first gold medal last Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>North Korean figure skaters made their Olympic debut; a Tongan cross-country skier crossed the finish line after only three months of experience on snow. U.S. and Canadian women’s hockey teams scuffled. Every day, there was curling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is a look at some of the athletes, competition and other highlights of the past week in Pyeongchang. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11650810\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/gettyimages-917171378_custom-3c5eafc2dcaeadf97bd3051f265d64e57b1735f5-s1300-c85-800x511.jpg\" alt=\"Mirai Nagasu of the United States exults after landing a triple axel during the team figure skating event.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Vice President Pence sat nearby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the parade of nations — 92 are taking part in these Olympics — American luger Erin Hamlin, a four-time Olympian, served as Team USA’s flag-bearer.

The way he brings the spins, you start to see Prince’s music happening on the ice when you see Yuzuru Hanyu skate to it. … And even at one point, he sort of takes his leg behind his head and plays it like he’s playing a guitar.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though many performances involving vocal music were a hit, Hendricks says sometimes they don’t work out so well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir are Canadian figure skaters … an amazing pair, but in their short program they have — sandwiched between ‘Oye Como Va’ and ‘Sympathy For The Devil,’ — ‘Hotel California’ by The Eagles,” Hendricks says. “It’s just so disappointing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Ma’s performance and others’, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwhRhgXDajI&t=191s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jason Brown’s\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vFOcOPq2O0&t=4s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bradie Tennell’s,\u003c/a> did catch the attention of some who expressed their approval of the policy change on Twitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When a figure skating program goes viral, there’s somebody watching that somewhere and saying, ‘hey, maybe I can try figure skating,’ And that is a huge part of the Olympics … every sport gets a little bump,” Hendricks says. “It gets some people interested in it and trying it, because they’ve saw it and they saw something in it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know if all of the young kids out there would have necessarily seen something of themselves in the Rachmaninoff, but they sure as heck would see it in the Lil Jon version.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles reached an agreement Monday with international Olympic leaders that will open the way for the city to host the 2028 Summer Games, while ceding the 2024 Games to rival Paris, officials announced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The arrangement would make L.A. a three-time Olympic city, after hosting the 1932 and 1984 Games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the agreement, the city is taking \"a major step toward bringing the Games back to our city for the first time in a generation,\" Mayor Eric Garcetti said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He called it a \"historic day for Los Angeles, for the United States\" and the Olympic movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreement follows a vote earlier this month by the International Olympic Committee to seek a deal to award the 2024 and 2028 Games. Paris is the only city left to host the 2024 Games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles City Council and U.S. Olympic Committee board of directors will consider the agreement for approval in August. If approved, the IOC, L.A. and Paris may enter a three-part agreement, clearing the way for the IOC to simultaneously award the 2024 Games to Paris and the 2028 Games to L.A. The IOC vote is scheduled for September in Lima, Peru.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In embracing what amounted to the second-place prize and an 11-year wait, L.A. will receive a financial sweetener.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"vO85B2C1oxdDPKx1tDBd90DomIVRMfKf\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the terms of the deal, the IOC will advance funds to the Los Angeles organizing committee to recognize the extended planning period and to increase youth sports programs leading up to the Games. The IOC contribution could exceed $2 billion, according to L.A. officials.
