    THE INTERPLAY OF HOUSING, EMPLOYMENT AND CIVIL RIGHTS IN THE EXPERIENCE OF SAN FRANCISCO’S AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY, 1945-1975 _________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board __________________________________________________________ in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY __________________________________________________________ by Paul T. Miller August, 2008 iii © by Paul T. Miller 2008 All Rights Reserved iv ABSTRACT Title: An African-centered History of African Americans in San Francisco, 1945-1975 Candidate's Name: Paul T. Miller Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2008 Doctoral Advisory Committee Chair: Dr. Sonja Peterson-Lewis The war industries associated with World War II brought unparalleled employment opportunities for African Americans in California's port cities. Nowhere was this more evident than in San Francisco, a city whose African American population grew by over 650% between 1940 and 1945. With this population increase also came an increase in racial discrimination directed at African Americans, primarily in the employment and housing sectors. The situation would only get worse throughout the 1950s and 1960s as manufacturing jobs moved to the East Bay where race restrictive housing policies kept African Americans from moving with them. In San Francisco, most African Americans were effectively barred from renting or buying homes in all but a few neighborhoods, neighborhoods often characterized by dilapidated structures and over-crowded conditions. Except for the well educated and lucky, employment opportunities for African Americans were open only at or near entry levels for white collar positions or in unskilled v and semi-skilled blue collar positions. Despite such challenges, San Francisco's African American population nearly doubled between 1950 and 1960.

The first part of the study proviaes a historical account of the emergence of the national compulsory attendance movement in the 19th century, and the corresponding growth of early childhood education. In the second part of the report, extensive case studies of five states (West Virginia, California, New Mexico, Ohio, and Georgia) that initiated kindergarten legislation between 1971 and 1973 are presented. Considered in each state case study are such issues as: (1) rationales that state policy makers have used to support early childhood education policy initiatives, (2) background of the reform, (3) response to proposed legislation,(4) development of the change, (5) opposition to the reform, and (6) legislative leadership necessary to effect the change. Social, political, fiscal, and research rationales of the reform legislation are discussed and compared.

    What's on Tap? San Francisco (Pdf)

    SAN FRANCISCO1 San Francisco earned a water quality and compliance grade of Poor for 2000 and 2001. Factors in this grade included the following: WHAT'S Although San Francisco’s source water is generally very well protected, the city had ON TAP? high levels of cancer-causing contaminants called total trihalomethanes, or TTHMs, by-products of the heavy use of chlorine for disinfection of its tap water. San Francisco Grading Drinking is one of the few large cities in the United States with TTHM levels still in excess of a Water in U.S. Cities new EPA tap water standard that went into effect in January 2002. San Francisco also EARLY RELEASE has potentially dangerous high spikes in the levels of these chemicals in its tap water. CALIFORNIA EDITION The city applied for and received a two-year extension from the EPA for bringing the system into compliance with this standard. The San Francisco Public Utilities October 2002 Commission (SFPUC) should not have allowed this problem to continue into 2002. The city says it is taking steps to reduce its TTHM levels by 2003, but its “solution,” a switch to chloramine disinfection, is a half-measure that will only moderately reduce TTHM levels and will not kill chlorine-resistant microbes. The EPA announced the reduced standard more than eight years ago, in July 1994, after extensive regulatory negotiations resulted in an agreement with the water industry—a process of which San Francisco was well aware.3 The final rule was issued in 1998.4 Under NRDC’s grading system, any water system that exceeds the new EPA standard for chemicals that cause cancer and potentially cause miscarriage and birth defects can receive a water quality grade no higher than Poor.

    The Legislators of California March 2011 Compiled by Alexander C. Vassar Dedicated to Jane Vassar For everything With Special Thanks To: Shane Meyers, Webmaster of JoinCalifornia.com For a friendship, a website, and a decade of trouble-shooting. Senator Robert D. Dutton, Senate Minority Leader Greg Maw, Senate Republican Policy Director For providing gainful employment that I enjoy. Gregory P. Schmidt, Secretary of the Senate Bernadette McNulty, Chief Assistant Secretary of the Senate Holly Hummelt , Senate Amending Clerk Zach Twilla, Senate Reading Clerk For an orderly house and the lists that made this book possible. E. Dotson Wilson, Assembly Chief Clerk Brian S. Ebbert, Assembly Assistant Chief Clerk Timothy Morland, Assembly Reading Clerk For excellent ideas, intriguing questions, and guidance. Jessica Billingsley, Senate Republican Floor Manager For extraordinary patience with research projects that never end. Richard Paul, Senate Republican Policy Consultant For hospitality and good friendship. Wade Teasdale, Senate Republican Policy Consultant For understanding the importance of Bradley and Dilworth. A Note from the Author An important thing to keep in mind as you read this book is that there is information missing. In the first two decades that California’s legislature existed, we had more individuals serve as legislators than we have in the last 90 years.1 Add to the massive turnover the fact that no official biographies were kept during this time and that the state capitol moved seven times during those twenty years, and you have a recipe for missing information. As an example, we only know the birthplace for about 63% of the legislators. In spite of my best efforts, there are still hundreds of legislators about whom we know almost nothing.
