In this fifth installment of our COVID-19 Highlight Series, we explore the hidden fault lines cracking San Francisco's foundation, how local governments reinvented their operations overnight before the pandemic, how financial access helped communities of undocumented immigrants survive the Covid-19 pandemic, and why the city's much-debated office-to-housing conversions remain largely theoretical. We also decode the 2022 ballot propositions that put the future of affordable housing, homelessness oversight, and public libraries directly in voters' hands.

In her lecture The Long Struggle to Abolish Reproductive Slavery, Roberts traces the denial of Black womens reproductive and parenting rights to a 19th century court case that decided the offspring of enslaved persons were considered like animals, without human rights, even if they were the children of the owner himself. Stopping mistreatment of Black families was a paramount issue of the abolitionist cause and a major reason behind the 13th and 14th Amendments to the US Constitution. But the hateful attitudes continued into modern times, and are underlying the idea that state law can dictate the terms of pregnancy and parenting, now confirmed by the US Supreme Court and applicable to all women.

More of the same this week on Backbeat - except different, because you'll rarely hear anything repeated, there's just too much to play. Such as gospel from Clara Ward, jug band music from Clarence Williams, African jive on a pennywhistle from West Nkosi, a Japanese take on a classic Duke Ellington song, Eddy Arnold's first hit and a nice new one from Reid Jamieson. Backbeat is also available in a 56 and 58 minute versions in three separate files if you want breaks. I am happy to provide custom station IDs, promos and liners.
