African Americans

From the intersections of Martin Luther King Jr. Way and Wooley Street to Adeline and Alcatraz, Berkeley and Oakland residents took the streets for the 35th annual Berkeley Juneteenth Festival on Saturday. 

UC Berkeley researchers published a study in September showing that racial discrimination is associated with a higher risk of developing chronic illnesses such as stroke, cardiovascular disease and cancer.

According to documents obtained last week by the New York Times, President Trump is poised to redirect Department of Justice resources into investigating universities for discriminatory enrollment practices guided by affirmative action.

South Berkeley residents and city officials gathered Saturday morning for the opening of an exhibit on the city’s plans for the future of the historic Adeline Street Corridor.
