Society & Culture
The Oakland pig department has been a source of oppression and violence since its inception in 1853. Killings of unarmed civilians, terrorist style raids of homes, surveillance and criminalization of the youth- this is just the tip of the iceberg! The 10th episode of Tales Of The Town looks at some of the history surrounding OPD, and the communal fight to get them out of Oakland schools.
Desiree McSwain-Mims (Des): Organizer and Activist, a part of campaign to get OUSD out of Oakland schools.
Donna Murch: Professor of History at Rutgers University. Author of Living for the City: Migration, Education and the Rise of the Black Panther Party in Oakland, California
Michala Coates: Student organizer and activist.
