What People Are Saying

Renina continues to
challenge herself and
give these types of
conversations a platform
away from the classroom.
i also think she grapples
with a lot of ideas and
i love that she?s not afraid
to put that work on display.
i?m thankful.

NEW YORK BEFORE CRACK


I know that some of you doubt that such a time has ever existed. I did not even know that this book was being created until I saw the pictures from the book release party. Of course it was instant happiness as I have been fascinated with Oakland before crack…..D.C. before crack……the U.S. before Crack.

    I am from Oakland, living in New York at the moment, and I too am facinated with inner city’s before crack. I do remember life before the drug took over, and let me tell you the 105 homicides a year, the siren’s at night, and horrible attitude of the OPD were not apart of Oaklands culture, and I think that it makes me sad.

    Yeah. I know. I think that the majority of the OPD came from Concord, Sacramento, Walnut Creek…etc…
    Just to make sure they were EXTRA MEAN and racist.
