The Oakland Roots Edition
(2006-12-10)
(kalw) - What difference can one person, or one policy, make? In the city of Oakland, a person and a policy changed everything. We share the story of Lionel Wilson, Oakland's first black mayor, who made diversifying city government his top priority. Also, we review Oakland's history of redevelopment, which continues to shape the city. © Copyright 2012, kalw
