This case is the first in the history of California that A popo –a po-lice has been brought to trial for murder. Quite amazing !

Following the KPFK Local Board of the Station has a cart promoting the upcoming elections. KPFK is a community based board. I myself was Chairperson of the Local Board for 8 years and on the National Board and of course we fought for the interest of People of Color especially African People so I encourage you in the listening audience to get involve with the upcoming elections to make sure our voice is heard.
