On the corner of South Park Street and West 16th in Little Rock, Arkansas, sits a bus bench.To the untrained eye, it is nothing more than some wood and concrete, but to the students at Central High School across the street, it is a reminder of the racism our country has faced.In 1957, Central became the first high school in a major U.S. city to desegregate when nine black students were escorted through crowds of white students by the National Guard so they could attend class.One of those black students, Elizabeth Eckford, was mercilessly heckled as she approached the school. So much so, that she turned away and retreated to that bus bench as a safe haven while she waited for a ride home."Even though it’s history, it didn’t happen too long ago,” said Adaja Cooper, who graduated from Central High School last year.Years after the 1957 Little Rock Nine crisis, the bus bench Eckford had sat on was removed for no particular reason. In the decades that followed, most did not bat an eye, until Cooper, a black student, was in her junior year of high school and wanted to recreate the piece of history as part of a school project known as The Memory Project.“It’s not just the story of building a bench, but the retelling of the history,” said Cooper. “It created a bond, and it’ll last for the rest of my life.”With the help of sophomore Milo Williams Thompson and history teacher George West, Cooper began pouring concrete, cutting wood, and reassembling the bench.It was not the first piece of history recreated by The Memory Project, but it was the most technical."It was supposed to be a one year project, and we couldn’t stop after we saw the experiences the students were having,” West said.By 2018, when Cooper was a senior and Williams Thompson was a junior, the bench was completed and placed on the corner once occupied by the original. For the students, it marked an achievement in craftsmanship, as well as personal growth."It’s that relationship that students begin to create, build, and experience beyond just the small universe that they arrive in,” said West. “They have a voice in the community.""We have to recognize that racism didn’t end in the 60s,” added Williams Thompson. “It’s still around and it’s still a national problem.”The Memory Project has created walking tours that supplement the ones taken by tourists at the Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site. It has also constructed plays where current students will research and portray past students who played integral roles during the 1957 desegregation, helping them become purveyors of history and change.“It’s on their shoulders to tell these stories and to become, not the voice of the past, but the action in the present,” said West. 2749

OCEANSIDE, CA (KGTV) -- There is one thing that is obvious about Oceanside, the city goes hand in hand with surfing. As it happens to be one of California's original surf towns."Oceanside still has that vibe to it. I mean this town revolves around surfing," says U.S.A. Surfing CEO Greg Cruse.U.S Olympic surfing coach Brett Simpson says he loves the surfing tradition and atmosphere you find in Oceanside."The culture is very rich. There has been a lot of years where there has been tons of shapers, the magazines, and clothing companies."So it just makes sense the U.S. Olympic Surfing team has chosen Oceanside as a training site for the Olympic games in Japan."Oceanside is a very ideal place because it mimics a lot of what we are trying to do. There are beach breaks, and it has some jetties, as well as a pier. It's very good practice for where ever we go around the globe."And the beaches also resemble the type of waves team U.S.A.will be competing on when they get to Japan next year."For us to be able to utilize something that's similar to the Olympic site, without having to travel to Japan, is going to be very helpful to our team," says Cruse.And this Sunday, Oceanside is calling on all surfers to hit the waves in support of California Surfing Day. It is the state's designated holiday to honor the history and the culture of the sport. "Obviously, every day is surfing day for me and other surfers," says Simpson. "But September 20th is a big one. You look around the last few months, and even during the stay at home orders, and surfing has become one of the more popular water sports." 1617

Oregon became the first state to decriminalize drugs like meth, cocaine and heroin this past election through Measure 110. The decision does not legalize these drugs, but supporters say it can help lead people away from jail and into treatment.“We work primarily with folks who are injecting heroin and methamphetamines,” Haven Wheelock said. She runs drug user health services at medical clinic Outside In, in Portland. “It’s really about engaging people who are using substances and helping to give them tools to be happy, healthy and hopefully survive.”One of the programs they provide is a syringe exchange service, to give users clean needles and materials to use.“I have seen for decades how our current system of criminalizing drug use and addiction has really damaged lives and harmed people I care about,” she said.That system is changing. “Most of the clients I've had the opportunity to talk to about this really have this sense of relief, honestly,” Wheelock said. “The measure effectively decriminalizes personal use amounts of substances as well as provides funding for addiction and recovery support services across the state of Oregon.”However, decriminalization is different from legalization.“Decriminalization is basically making something so that it is no longer a criminal offense if you were to do it, it is still seen as a violation,” said Christopher Campbell, an Assistant Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Portland State University. “Full blown legalization is more like there is no violation whatsoever associated with it, within certain degrees.”With decriminalization, instead of going to jail for having personal amounts of a drug on you, “you have a choice then of a 0 fine, or you take this chemical dependent screener assessment that determines if you are a good candidate for treatment,” Campbell explained.This puts the focus on treatment, not jail.“If you have fewer arrests based on possession, you're going to have fewer people in pre-trial detention,” Campbell said. “So you'll have fewer people going to prison. It’s kind of a chain reaction.”In many states across the U.S., personal use possession of drugs like these is a felony offense. Back in 2017, the Oregon governor signed a bill making it a misdemeanor.“I don't think it’s going to dramatically decrease the prison population. It might decrease it a little bit. I think the biggest one we’ve seen was felony to misdemeanor,” Campbell said.The impacts of a drug-related felony charge is something Bobby Byrd has experienced his whole life.“For the small possession of drugs,” Byrd explained. “That conviction ruined my life in a lot of ways. Kept me from getting jobs. Kept me from getting apartments.”Byrd was arrested decades ago in the 1990s.“I know this may not be able to help my past, but I don't want what happened to me to happen to anybody else in their future,” he said. “People don’t need punishment for their addiction, people need help for their addiction.”That’s exactly why he’s been vocal in his backing of Measure 110. The measure is also paving a path for easier access to treatment.“You won't have to have gotten in trouble in order to access these services,” Wheelock said.“Oregon has kind of been primed for this. We’ve been very much on this progressive slate,” Campbell said.From the first to decriminalize marijuana in 1973, to decriminalizing most other drugs, Oregon has paved the path to a lot of drug-related policy. Campbell said if it does what it intends, increase treatment and decrease use, other states may look to Oregon.“I think there's a good chance that a lot of states will be interested in this,” he said. 3669

Organizations across the country are working hard to ensure underserved communities have the medical services they need to keep them healthy this flu season.Health experts say the flu vaccine can help prevent further COVID-19 complications, leading to a major effort to expand treatment, testing and vaccine availability for low income communities. "We've taken the results of our efforts and we are working with clinicians and community leaders and patient and provider organizations to educate, to promote strategies for increasing flu vaccination by providers," said Dr. Laura Lee Hall, the President of the Center for Sustainable Healthcare Quality and Equity, which is part of the National Minority Quality Forum. She and other experts have been working over the last two years to come up with a better way to promote flu vaccination in communities of color."We should enhance efforts for flu vaccination so as to minimize the risk of serious respiratory illnesses in the population and the toll it can take in the healthcare system. We all know that COVID has disproportionately impacted people of color so they may be even at increased risk," said Dr. Hall. The group is hoping to boost flu vaccinations up to 40%.Emergency physician Dr. Kenny Banh, who is also the Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Medical Education at UCSF-Fresno, has been leading the university's mobile health and learning unit in Fresno, CA. This year, they're using million in Cares Act funds to expand COVID-19 testing and healthcare to underserved areas, in particular, communities of color."Besides the fact that it's the feel good and they deserve it and I believe everyone deserves a right to healthcare, but the reality is, it's very hard to understand for a lot of people where they're coming from. A lot of them are disenfranchised," said Dr. Banh.Dr. Banh says just opening up a clinic with free testing in an underserved community doesn't mean local people there will use it. He says many are fearful of physicians who don't speak their language or don't look like them. They can be worried about what testing implies. Hence, the major effort to serve and educate from all aspects."We offer free COVID testing but also we offer free contact tracing and social support services and other preventive health. Meaning, we’re giving out flu shots, we're doing HIV tests. We also concede for your general medical care, blood pressure, diabetes free of cost, no charges for anyone that walks through the door," said Dr. Banh.Dr. Banh adds, they have several clinics across different communities in Fresno, hoping to ultimately test 8,000 people for COVID by the end of 2020. Dr. Laura Lee Hall says not taking care of underserved communities during the pandemic can have grave implications this winter."Living in an environment where social determinants of health are really imperfect and worse than that. So, what has the result been to date? It has been shorter lives. I mean, let’s be clear. Lifespan is shorter for people of color," said Dr. Hall. Dozens of community organizations working together to provide the best healthcare possible for those who don't have access to it. 3174
