We’re also joined by Maureen Benson, former member of the Oakland Police Commission, and Rebecca Kaplan, vice mayor of Oakland.
1:34 – Former California Poet Laureate and friend of KPFA Al Young passed away in April 2021 at the age of 81. We air an interview with AI Young and Jack Foley recorded in 2002. It’s excerpted from a two-part interview we’re sending to everyone who pledges during our Spring Fund Drive.
