As shown in Figure 4, the average 7 investment per student in 2018-2019 was $5,921. The average investment per African-American/Black student was $5,665. The good news is that per student funding has increased over the past four years – California is one of just seven states where funding had recovered to pre-Great Recession levels2 – and this increase occurs across all groups. Additionally, per-student gaps in state funding by race have narrowed over the years examined in this brief. These gaps, however, remain persistent and pernicious. In the 2018-19 academic year, the gap between per-African- American/Black student funding and per-White student funding was just over $200, compared to $241 four years prior. That gap was $175 for Latinx students relative to their White peers in 2018-19, down from $211 four years prior. Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander students have the highest per-student funding of any racial category. This result stems from the group’s over- representation among UC students – over a third of the UC’s admitted class for 2020 is Asian American,3 and as can be seen in Figure 2 above, 18 percent of AANHPI students are enrolled at a UC, compared to seven percent of African-American/Black students and five percent of Latinx students. We note that there is substantial variation in higher education enrollment patterns within the AANHPI population, though the data used for the analysis does not allow for a California is one of just more nuanced analysis.

The following fundamental resources and values have been identified for Pinnacles National Park: • Landforms and Geologic Faults Reflecting Past and Present Tectonic Forces • Scenic Views and Wild Character • Talus Caves Photo by Paul G. Johnson • Opportunities for Research and Study • Native Species and Ecological Processes Interpretive themes are often described as the key stories or concepts that visitors should understand after visiting a park—they define the most important ideas or concepts communicated to visitors about a park unit. Themes are derived from—and should reflect—park purpose, significance, resources, and values. The set of interpretive themes is complete when it provides the structure necessary for park staff to develop opportunities for visitors to explore and relate to all of the park significances and fundamental resources and values. • Over millions of years, the power of volcanism, erosion, and plate tectonics created and transformed the Pinnacles Volcanic Field into the dramatic canyons, monoliths, and rock spires seen today. The offset of the Pinnacles Volcanics from the identical Neenach Volcanics 200 miles to the south provides key evidence for the theory of plate tectonics.

  • Chapter 8 Manzanar
    CHAPTER 8 MANZANAR Introduction The Manzanar Relocation Center, initially referred to as the “Owens Valley Reception Center”, was located at about 36oo44' N latitude and 118 09'W longitude, and at about 3,900 feet elevation in east-central California’s Inyo County (Figure 8.1). Independence lay about six miles north and Lone Pine approximately ten miles south along U.S. highway 395. Los Angeles is about 225 miles to the south and Las Vegas approximately 230 miles to the southeast. The relocation center was named after Manzanar, a turn-of-the-century fruit town at the site that disappeared after the City of Los Angeles purchased its land and water. The Los Angeles Aqueduct lies about a mile to the east. The Works Progress Administration (1939, p. 517-518), on the eve of World War II, described this area as: This section of US 395 penetrates a land of contrasts–cool crests and burning lowlands, fertile agricultural regions and untamed deserts. It is a land where Indians made a last stand against the invading white man, where bandits sought refuge from early vigilante retribution; a land of fortunes–past and present–in gold, silver, tungsten, marble, soda, and borax; and a land esteemed by sportsmen because of scores of lakes and streams abounding with trout and forests alive with game. The highway follows the irregular base of the towering Sierra Nevada, past the highest peak in any of the States–Mount Whitney–at the western approach to Death Valley, the Nation’s lowest, and hottest, area. The following pages address: 1) the physical and human setting in which Manzanar was located; 2) why east central California was selected for a relocation center; 3) the structural layout of Manzanar; 4) the origins of Manzanar’s evacuees; 5) how Manzanar’s evacuees interacted with the physical and human environments of east central California; 6) relocation patterns of Manzanar’s evacuees; 7) the fate of Manzanar after closing; and 8) the impact of Manzanar on east central California some 60 years after closing.
