Oakland is becoming the home to products of gentrification complaining of the heritage and culture of Blacks and people of color in Oakland.

City officials must not allow transplants to come in and silence the voices that have been Oakland for as many years as most of them have been alive.

Dialogue must begin between ALL who are concerned!

Education is Key, Ignorance is Bliss!
