"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.",

"content": "\u003cp>During the fall semester of 1968, the Black Student Union at what was then called San Francisco State College presented a list of 10 “non-negotiable” demands to administrators, focusing on the creation of a black studies department and increasing black access to the university. College officials did not grant the demands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the BSU, along with other student groups organized as the Third World Liberation Front, launched what would become the longest campus strike in U.S. history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 115-day strike, lasting into late March 1969, led to repeated clashes between students and the hundreds of police officers summoned to campus to impose order. More than 700 students were arrested and scores injured during the strike’s first two months. The standoff led to headline-grabbing confrontations between students on one side and Gov. Ronald Reagan and S.F. State’s acting president on the other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, the strike resulted in the creation of San Francisco State’s College of Ethnic Studies, and touched off a nationwide movement to increase minority access and representation on college campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://vimeo.com/119820421\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the 50th anniversary of the 1968 student strike, a new documentary film, \u003ca href=\"http://www.agentsofchangefilm.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\"Agents of\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://www.agentsofchangefilm.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Change,\"\u003c/a> looks back at this defining moment in U.S. history where civil rights, black power and anti-war movements converged to explore the pivotal role that black student activists played in reforming the American university system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED News spoke with \u003ca href=\"http://www.agentsofchangefilm.com/producers/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">filmmakers Frank Dawson and Abby Ginzberg\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED: The 50th anniversary is a nice round number. But looking back at the San Francisco State student strike feels particularly relevant today. Why is it important to look back at these events now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frank Dawson: We are at a critical time in our nation’s history. How we respond is clearly a defining moment. Students have power, but that power is meaningless unless it is exercised in a thoughtful, inclusive, selfless manner. Looking back, there are countless examples from the civil rights and Black Power movements in which students on college campuses across the country risked their educations, future employment and lives for causes they fiercely believed in. Their stories have barely been told, and knowing more about these stories is empowering to students today. Students can effect change, and during the past year as we have shared our film on numerous campuses, Abby and I have seen firsthand how important these historic stories can be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abby Ginzberg: It is important to reflect on the little-known history that gave rise to the creation of black and ethnic studies programs across the country in the late 1960s because many of these programs have come under attack or are being weakened through the withdrawal of funding. The most poignant example occurred at S.F. State in 2016 when the \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/24/s-f-states-historic-ethnic-studies-college-may-have-to-cut-courses-faculty/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">College of Ethnic Studies was facing cuts\u003c/a> that would have resulted in the loss of two faculty positions. What was most inspiring is there was an outcry from the student body, across all disciplines and not solely from ethnic studies majors, that demonstrated how important this program was to everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The protests were successful and the cuts were not implemented. It was obvious to me at the time that the importance of the program had burrowed deep into the DNA of the university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The S.F. State events of 1968-69 are just part of your film. You also tell the story of protests on the Cornell University campus, where you both were. Give us a brief overview of what unfolded at Cornell and how those events were tied to the S.F. State protests.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dawson: James Perkins came to Cornell as president in the early 1960s and was appalled by the minuscule number of black students at the Ithaca campus. To remedy that low enrollment, he established the Committee On Special Educational Projects (COSEP), with a responsibility to identify and enroll Negro and other ethnically underrepresented students whose secondary school performance and entrance exam scores indicated the potential for success at Cornell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 1968, that population of students included an increasing number of students from densely populated urban areas who had experienced or witnessed urban rebellion in their decaying inner-city streets and were committed to insuring that their own education would benefit their communities. Black students at Cornell increased their demands to include the establishment of a Black Studies Program, which mirrored what was happening at S.F. State and more than 1,000 college campuses across the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What was it like being on campus in the middle of what turned out to be such historic times? Did it have any lasting impacts on your lives or careers?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ginzberg: At the time, it was not obvious we were part of a historical movement. It was just a turbulent time in America and we knew we needed to raise our voices. I was part of SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) when I was a student at Cornell and was involved in the anti-war movement, as well as part of the support group for the black students before, during and after the building takeover. My commitment to fighting for justice came into focus during my time at Cornell and has influenced me throughout the rest of my life. First as a lawyer in San Francisco and then as a \u003ca href=\"http://filmsforjustice.net/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">documentary filmmaker for the past 30-plus years\u003c/a>, my work has been devoted to issues of race and social justice. I have tried to tell stories about unsung heroes such as federal judge Thelton Henderson, the first African-American lawyer in the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Justice Department; Cruz Reynoso, the first Latino appointed to the California Supreme Court, and South African anti-apartheid activist and Constitutional Court judge, Albie Sachs. These films have all aired on KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The title of the film, “Agents of Change,” captures the idea of citizens becoming politically and civically engaged. Do you see any similarities between the turbulent times of the '60s and contemporary movements like Black Lives Matter, Resistance, Women’s March, etc?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ginzberg: We are seeing renewed activism at this moment and we all have the potential to be \"agents of change.\" It is heartening to see so many young people in the streets, speaking out against anti-black, anti-women and anti-immigrant sentiments. Each generation has to find their own way of making themselves heard, and today we are seeing a resurgence of activism that is heartwarming to the those of us who have remained fighters for social change since we were in our early 20s. We hope the film will inspire people to see themselves as agents of change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is the biggest lesson that can be learned from the campus civil rights protests 50 years later? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ginzberg: The main lesson, I believe, is to not take any of these successes for granted and to understand that each generation may have to fight for these gains all over again. Black and ethnic studies programs are now taken for granted by many students on campuses around the country. Learning that they were forged in struggle by students, not only at S.F. State and Cornell but at over 1,000 campuses in the late 1960s and early 1970s, is critical to efforts to preserve them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another part of the S.F. State legacy is that in spite of the intervening 50 years, racism is still present on college campuses. Inclusion is still a distant goal, and many campuses are experiencing some of the same issues that led to the protests at S,F. State and Cornell. So in a word, we still have a long way to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.agentsofchangefilm.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Agents of Change\u003c/a> will be broadcast as part of \u003ca href=\"http://worldchannel.org/programs/episode/arf-s6-603-agents-change/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">America ReFramed\u003c/a> on Tuesday, Feb. 20, airing on KQED at 5 p.m. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

It’s another thing to kick people out that have no place to go,” Haut says. “So I ended up joining Saint Francis Homelessness Challenge to try to provide a sense of community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The transitional shelter pilot program is the beginning of a larger model that Weiss envisions scaling up to 50 transitional villages. If the program receives enough political support, she believes the project could house 1,000 people in transitional shelters complete with support services at an estimated cost of $8.7 million. However, the program depends on the participation of residents, local businesses and the city to host the shelters on their land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a backyard that’s underutilized. We can give the space,” says Impact Hub community experience manager Brandon Harrell Roybal about his arrangement with the SFHC. “It takes the willingness to see someone else’s struggle and want to help them along that journey, given the resources that you have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco has yet to sanction any homeless camp proposals or microshelter projects, but for now, Orona hopes her involvement is a step in solving the city’s homelessness crisis as the program’s first “resident-in-transition.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whatever I do … is going to be nothing but positive and something that is going to be amazing,” Orona says. “All I know is that I am smiling now because I’ll be smiling then.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

He’s documenting his training process on his \u003ca href=\"http://theblindcaptain.com/\">website\u003c/a>, where he calls himself “The Blind Captain.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How do you kayak if you can’t see?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Ustunel says the first thing is to use your other senses, which can convey lots of information. When he nears the shore, Ustunel smells plants or flowers. If it’s rained recently, the land produces an earthy scent from the soil, called petrichor. If Ustunel is out on the open water, he will sometimes sense a smell similar to watermelon. He thinks this might be a kind of seaweed scent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ustunel also uses his ears to locate people, construction or cars. These sounds mean he’s close to shore. When he’s out farther in the water, he mostly just hears birds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But to cross the Bosphorus, Ustunel will need more than just his senses. His journey will be just over 3 miles, but the strait is one of the busiest shipping channels in the world: the waters are dangerously crowded with huge freighters and tankers, alongside small ferries and fishing boats. And the currents are strong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Ustunel will need gadgets that can tell him exactly where he is and what’s around him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11626483\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11626483\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/Bosphorous-800x547.jpg\" alt=\"Ferry boats criss-cross the Bosphorus Strait off Istanbul, one of the world's busiest shipping channels.

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.
