West Oakland, Lower Bottoms, part 2: The World We Live In
Release Date:
Our listening tour of West Oakland’s Lower Bottoms continues as we meet the volunteers at a local food pantry, a street ball legend known as ‘the greatest player never to make the NBA,’ a transplant from Compton who’s become a wilderness survival instructor, a former Tesla engineer who’s developing an affordable co-housing living space, a US Army veteran determined to help others get their military benefits, and a pastor who relies on the power of prayer to effect social change.
Special thanks this episode to field producer Ariana Proehl, KQED, and The National Endowment for the Arts.
