PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS THANK YOU
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.
SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 1
18 RECOGNIZED THE MONTH OF
OCTOBER 2022 IS DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH. I
WOULD LIKE TO THANK MY
COLLEAGUES AND THE SELECT
COMMITTEE ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
FOR JOINING ME AS CO AUTHORS AND
MY COLLEAGUE FROM BALDWIN PARK
IN THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE
FOR JOINING ME AS JOINT AUTHOR.
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE SHOULD
LIGHT AND THE GREAT NEED FOR
EDUCATION AND RAISE AWARENESS
AND THE PREVALENCE OF DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE BY UNDERSTANDING THE
ROOT CAUSES OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
. WE CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND THE
INDIVIDUALIST NEEDS OF
SURVIVORS. HOWEVER DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH IS NOT
JUST ABOUT LEARNING. IT IS ALSO
ABOUT DOING THAT IS WHY IT IS SO
CRITICAL THAT WE CONTINUE TO
PRIORITIZE SUPPORT TO DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE PROGRAMS IN CALIFORNIA
, WHICH PROVIDED ESSENTIAL LIFE
SAVING SERVICES TO SURVIVORS,
THEIR FAMILIES AND THEIR
COMMUNITIES WHEN WE SUPPORT
SURVIVORS AND THEIR FAMILIES
WHEN WE GIVE THEM THE TOOLS AND
THE RESOURCES TO LEAVE THEIR
ABUSERS, WE EMPOWER THEM TO MOVE
BEYOND THE ABUSE BECAUSE THEY
ARE SO MUCH MORE THAN THEIR
ABUSE. AS POET JOHN MARK GREENE
SAID YOU ARE NOT THE DARKNESS
YOU ENDURED. YOU ARE THE LIGHT.
THEY REFUSED TO SURRENDER. AND
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE
ABUSE IS NOT JUST PHYSICAL ACTS
OR THREATS OF VIOLENCE, BUT ALSO
EMOTIONAL AND FINANCIAL ABUSE.
MANY WOMEN AND MEN SUFFER FROM
EMOTIONAL VIEWS, AND IT IS NO
LESS DESTRUCTIVE. EMOTIONAL
ABUSE CAN BE YOUR ABUSER,
CHIPPING AWAY AT YOUR FEELINGS
OF INDEPENDENCE AND SELF WORTH.
IT ALSO INCLUDES CONTROLLING
BEHAVIOR, INTIMIDATION,
ISOLATION, SHAMING, BLAMING NAME
CALLING AND YELLING. FINANCIAL
ABUSE MAY TAKE A MORE SUBTLE
FORM, BUT IT HAS THE POWER TO
APPEND A SURVIVOR'S LIFE. IT
COULD BE YOUR ABUSERS SABOTAGING
YOUR JOB STEALING FROM YOU
WITHHOLDING NECESSITIES
ORIGINALLY CONTROLLING YOUR
FINANCES. WE ALL DESERVE
RELATIONSHIPS THAT ARE FREE FROM
THE ABUSE AND VIOLENCE. WE MUST
ALL PLEDGE TO BE A VOICE FOR
SURVIVORS, NOT ONLY IN OUR WARDS
BUT IN OUR ACTIONS AND IN OUR
VOTES, THE MONTH OF OCTOBER WILL
BE THE TIME FOR CALIFORNIANS TO
ACKNOWLEDGE AND AMPLIFY THE
VOICES OF SURVIVORS. WE ALL HAVE

ACT RELATING TO PUPIL SAFETY.
SENATOR PORTANTINO. THANK YOU,
MR PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS
COLLEAGUES. I RISE TO PRESENT A
B 4 52, WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION IN CONSULTANT WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO DEVELOP
AND UPDATE UNNECESSARY
NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENT FOR
SCHOOL DISTRICTS AROUND SAFE
FIREARM STORAGE. YOU MAY RECALL
THAT IN 2019 I AUTHORED SB 1 72
, WHICH CREATED CALIFORNIA SAFE
STORAGE LAWS. AND RECENTLY
PRESIDENT BIDEN AT THE WHITE
HOUSE CALL. FOR THE COUNTRY TO
ENACT SAFE STORAGE LAWS
NATIONALLY. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT
THING TO DO TO MAKE SURE THAT
WEAPONS ARE PROPERLY STORED AND
THAT IF YOU ALLOW A WEAPON TO
FALL INTO THE WRONG HANDS,
THERE'LL BE CONSEQUENCES. AND SO
THAT WAS WHAT S B 172 DID THIS
BILL REQUIRES SCHOOL DISTRICTS
TO EDUCATE PARENTS AND FAMILIES
ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF SAFE
STORAGE? WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT?
BECAUSE 87% OF KIDS KNOW WHERE
THEIR PARENTS GUNS ARE KEPT 60%
HAVE HANDLED THEM, UH, NEW DATA
RELEASED BY THE CDC SHOWS THAT
FIREARMS WITH THE LEADING CAUSE
OF DEATH FOR CHILDREN AND TEENS
IN 2020, SO IF YOU DO NOT
PROPERLY STORE YOUR WEAPONS, THE
POTENTIAL OF THEM GETTING INTO
THE WRONG HANDS HAPPENS. WE ALSO
KNOW THAT MANY OF THE SCHOOL
SHOOTERS IN THESE TRAGIC
EXAMPLES GET THE WEAPONS FROM
EITHER THEIR HOME OR ANOTHER
FAMILY MEMBER. SO THE IDEA OF
STORING WEAPONS IS IMPORTANT IN
THE IDEA TO EDUCATE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE
OF SAFE STORAGE IS IMPORTANT. I
WANT TO COMMEND MOMS DEMAND
ACTION AND IN PARTICULAR
STUDENTS DEMAND ACTION, WHICH
HAVE BEEN CALLING FOR MORE
EDUCATION AROUND THE SAFE
STORAGE OF FIREARMS. THEIR
ADVOCACY IS CENTRAL TO THIS
EFFORT. AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK

SENATOR WIECKOWSKI. THANK YOU,
MR PRESIDENT. I RISE IN GERMAN
OF HELEN WIECKOWSKI. MY MOTHER
WHO PASSED AWAY ON SATURDAY
MORNING IN HER SLEEP SHE HAD
SUFFERED FROM DEMENTIA FOR THE
LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. PEOPLE
THAT KNOW THAT WE PUT HER INTO A
FACILITY THE LAST SEVEN MONTHS.
SHE SURVIVED FROM MY DAD, EUGENE
ANTHONY, WHO'S 95 YEARS OLD, AND
SHE HAS A TWIN SISTERS. MY AUNT
SOPHIE IN, UH, NEW JERSEY. SO
THERE'S SEVEN OF US KIDS.
THERE'S 12 GRANDCHILDREN. STEP
GRANDCHILDREN. THREE GREAT
GRANDCHILDREN. MY MOM WAS NEVER
THE PRESIDENT OF ANY CLUB OR A
CHURCH GROUP OR ROAD PUBLISHED
ANY ARTICLES? HE WAS JUST A MOM.
YOU KNOW, SHE RAISED THE SEVEN
OF US AND NEVER REALLY ASPIRED
TO BE ANYTHING BUT A MOM.
HEARING MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
TALK ABOUT HER. THERE'S THINGS
AS AN OLDER BROTHER THAT YOU
JUST NEVER CAUGHT. UM SHE MADE
IT REAL CLEAR TO THE LITTLE KIDS
THAT IF THERE WAS A, UH
CLASSMATE AT SCHOOL THAT DIDN'T
HAVE LUNCH THAT THEY WERE
SUPPOSED TO BRING THEM HOME TO
OUR HOUSE THAT THEY WOULD HAVE
SOMETHING TO EAT. I JUST DIDN'T
KNOW KNOW THAT. UM IN THE EARLY
SEVENTIES, WHEN I JUST GOT INTO
HIGH SCHOOL AFTER MY BUSH, I'S
GRANDMA PASSED AWAY. MY MOM WENT
BACK TO WORK FOR MERVYN'S
FREMONT WAS THE NUMBER TWO SCORE
STORE IN THE MERVYN'S TRILOGY.
THE FIRST ONE WAS IN, UH OR THE
EMPIRE OF MERVYN'S. SHE WAS IN
STORE NUMBER TWO. NEW MERVYN
MORRIS WOULD COME AND TAKE THEM
OUT TO LUNCH. SHE WAS IN CENTER
AISLE FOR ALL OF YOU. I'M NOT
BEING SEXIST HERE. CENTER AISLE
IS SORT OF THE AREA WHERE THEY
HAVE THE HANDBAGS, JEWELRY. THE
ACCESSORIES. YOU KNOW, IF YOU
DON'T KNOW WHAT ACCESSORIES ARE
GO ASK SOMEBODY WHO DOES BUT
THAT WAS HER. DEAL AND SHE KNEW
EVERYBODY ALL OUR FRIENDS THAT
GREW UP AND THEY WOULD GO TO MRS
WIECKOWSKI AND GET ACCESSORIZED
. I GUESS IT WAS THE ONE OF THE
I GET IN ANOTHER MEMORY THAT I
HAVE, AND I'D LIKE TO SHARE IT
WITH ALL OF YOU IS THAT, UM
MAKING SANDWICHES AND EATING
SANDWICHES IS A BIG PART OF THE,
UH WIECKOWSKI FAMILY ECOSYSTEM.
THERE WERE SEVEN OF US, SO MY
ESPECIALLY THE LITTLE ONES,
REMEMBER NINE SANDWICHES BEING
MADE THE BOYS GOT TO WITH ALL
THE GIRLS GOT ONE, AND MY MOTHER
KNEW MARY WANTED CREAM CHEESE
AND JELLY FOR SOME REASON, BUT
SHE KNEW EVERYTHING THAT FOLKS
ONE AND WHAT I DIDN'T REALIZE IS
THAT OUR FRIENDS ALL KNEW ABOUT
THOSE WIECKOWSKI SANDWICHES.
BECAUSE IF THERE WAS A MEATLOAF
LEFT OVER, I WOULD HAVE THIS
CHUNK OF MEAT LOAF AND IT WAS
WITH, YOU KNOW, LETTUCE, TOMATO
CHEESE, THE WHOLE, YOU KNOW,
ESPECIALLY SOMETHING LIKE
MEATLOAF. I'D HAVE HORSERADISH
IN IT. AND MY BROTHERS AND
SISTERS, FRIENDS. WOULD COME BY
THE HOUSE AFTER I WENT AWAY TO
COLLEGE TO HAVE ONE OF MRS
WIECKOWSKI SANDWICHES BECAUSE
THEY LIKE THEM SO MUCH, SO IF
YOU GUYS HAVE TIME IN THE NEXT
WEEK, HAVE A SANDWICH. MAYBE IF
YOU DON'T NORMALLY PUT LETTUCE
AND TOMATO OR CHEESE ON IT. HAVE
A SANDWICH. UH SHE WAS, YOU
KNOW, WE'RE GONNA MISS HER. BUT
THIS WAS HER HER TIME. SO THANK
YOU, MR PRESIDENT FOR ALLOWING
ME TO ADJOURN MEMORY OF MY
MOTHER. THANK YOU, SENATOR
MURKOWSKI AND OUR PEOPLE'S
CONDOLENCES TO A REMARKABLE
WOMAN AND WHERE SHE BRING YOUR
NAME FORWARD SO SHE COULD BE
PROPERLY MEMORIALIZED. THANK YOU
FOR THAT. NEXT UP IS OUR PRO
TEAM. SENATOR ATKINS. THANK YOU,
MR PRESIDENT, AND THAT WAS
ABSOLUTELY LOVELY. I WILL DO A
SANDWICH IN HER NOUR FOR SURE.
TO MY COLLEAGUE. BUT COLLEAGUES
I RISE TO ADJOURN A MEMORY OF
SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY AND CIVIC
LEADER JUDITH HARRIS, WHO PASSED
AWAY APRIL 22ND AT THE AGE OF
73. DUE TO THE PANDEMIC. I
HADN'T ACTUALLY SEEN JUDITH IN
SEVERAL YEARS, SO HER PASSING
CAME AS A COMPLETE SHOCK TO ME
PERSONALLY. JUDITH WAS
PASSIONATE ABOUT HER SERVICE TO
CULTURAL, EDUCATIONAL AND OTHER
CRITICAL AND IMPORTANT
INSTITUTIONS IN SAN DIEGO AND
WELL BEYOND SHE WAS A STRONG
ADVOCATE FOR LIBRARIES AND
SERVED AS CHAIR OF THE SAN DIEGO
PUBLIC LIBRARY FOUNDATION, WHERE
SHE LED THE CAMPAIGN TO RAISE
$95 MILLION IN PRIVATE FUNDS AND
$100 MILLION IN PUBLIC FUNDS TO
BUILD THE LANDMARK CENTRAL
LIBRARY IN DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO.
JUDITH WAS AN AVID SUPPORTER OF
THE ARTS. SHE SERVED ON THE SAN
DIEGO COMMISSION FOR ARTS AND
CULTURE FROM 1993 TO 2001. THE
LAST FOUR YEARS. SHE WAS THE
CHAIR. OVER THE YEARS, SHE
SERVED AS A TRUSTEE FOR MANY
CULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS,
INCLUDING THE MUSEUM OF
CONTEMPORARY ART, SAN DIEGO, LA
JOLLA PLAYHOUSE, THE SAN DIEGO
SYMPHONY FOUNDATION AND THE SAN
DIEGO FOUNDATION, WHERE SHE
CHAIRED THE INITIAL ARTS AND
CULTURE TASK FORCE. AN
INCREDIBLE FUNDRAISER. SHE AND
HER GREATEST FRIEND DAVID COPLEY
, COACH SHARED CAPITAL CAMPAIGNS
FOR KPBS, THE ANIMAL WELFARE
COMPLEX AND THE SCRIPTS CARDIAC
TICK CENTER. A LOVER OF ANIMALS
. SHE SERVED AS CHAIR OF THE SAN
DIEGO ZOO GLOBAL FOUNDATION
BOARD. SHE SERVED 15 YEARS AS A
TRUSTEE FOR THE DIANE FOSSEY
GORILLA FUND INTERNATIONAL AND
WAS BOARD CHAIR FOR THE LAST
FOUR YEARS. THE FARSI FUND WILL
HONOR HER LEGACY WITH THE
CREATION OF THE JUDITH HARRIS.
SCIENCE FELLOWSHIPS SUPPORTING
AFRICAN WOMEN PURSUING CAREERS
IN CONSERVATION AND SCIENCE.
OVER THE YEARS, SHE RECEIVED
NUMEROUS AWARDS RECOGNIZING HER
ACTIVISM AND VOLUNTEER COMMUNITY
SERVICE. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AND
CREATURES ARE THE BENEFICIARY OF
HER DEDICATION. SHE WILL BE
REMEMBERED FOR HER OUTSTANDING
LEADERSHIP. HER COMMITMENT HER
PASSION, GRACE. SERVICE AND
SUPPORT FOR CAUSES TO MAKE THE
WORLD A BETTER PLACE AS WELL AS
FOR HER FLAIR AND HER UNIQUE
SENSE OF STYLE. SHE WOULD HAVE,
UH, STOOD UP WELL, NEXT TO OUR
COLLEAGUE FROM BERKELEY IN THE
FASHION SENSE. ON A PERSONAL A
MORE PERSONAL NOTE. JUDITH AS
STYLISH AS CULTURED AS SHE WAS
AND COULD APPEAR. SHE WAS ALSO
VERY DOWN TO EARTH. MOST DON'T
KNOW THAT SHE CAME FROM
INCREDIBLY HUMBLE BEGINNINGS. BY
THE TIME SHE HAD BECOME A CIVIC
LEADER IN SAN DIEGO AND ACROSS
THE GLOBE, JUDITH KNEW WHO SHE
WAS, AND SHE KNEW WHAT HER
PURPOSE WAS. AND SHE COULD LOOK
RIGHT THROUGH YOU AND GET A
SENSE OF WHO YOU WERE. I LOVED
HER WIT AND HER WARMTH. JUDITH
IS SURVIVED BY HER HUSBAND, DR
ROBERT SINGER. HER DAUGHTER,
BLAIR HARRIS, HER BROTHER, JACK
HARRIS AND HER CATS, TIGER, LILY
AND TULIP. I WOULD ASK YOU TO
JOIN ME IN ADJOURNING IN MEMORY
OF JUDITH HARRIS. THANK YOU OUR
DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO THE
PASSING OF MISS HARRIS, AND WE
HAVE TO BRING THE NAME FORWARD
SO SHE COULD BE PROPERLY
MEMORIAL LIVES. NEXT UP IS
SENATOR PORTANTINO. COLLEAGUES
TODAY I RISE TO ADJOURN IN THE
MEMORY OF TRUE COMMUNITY
ACTIVISTS AND PUBLIC SERVICE
SERVANT. JOHN J. KENNEDY WHO
PASSED AWAY ON JULY 21ST. JOHN
WAS BORN AND RAISED IN THE
BEAUTIFUL CITY OF PASADENA BY
THE PROUD PARENTS, THOMAS AND
LEOLA KENNEDY. HE WAS THE EIGHTH
CHILD OF 10. HE HAD TWO BROTHERS
AND SEVEN SISTERS. FROM A YOUNG
AGE, HE DEDICATED HIS LIFE WORK
TO SERVING OTHERS. HE SERVED AS
STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT AT BLAIR
HIGH SCHOOL IN PASADENA AND THE
STUDENTS SENATOR AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA, WHERE HE RECEIVED
DUAL DEGREES IN INTERNATIONAL
RELATIONS AND ECONOMICS. HE
EARNED HIS J D FROM HOWARD
UNIVERSITY AND WAS THE YOUNGEST
PERSON TO SERVE AS THE PRESIDENT
OF THE PASADENA BRANCH OF THE
EP. FROM 1995 TO 1998 JOHN WAS A
CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
DEPUTY FOR RICHMOND FOR THE
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA POLICE
DEPARTMENT. FROM 2004 TO 2011
JOHN SERVED AS SEIZURE, SENIOR
PROJECT LEADER AND MANAGING
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT FOR
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AT EISON,
OVERSEEING ALL PHASES OF PROJECT
DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION
OF PROJECTS OF VARYING VERY IS
COMPLEXITIES FROM 2011 TO 2013.
JOHN WORKED WITH THE LOS ANGELES
URBAN LEAGUE AS SENIOR VICE
PRESIDENT OF DEVELOPMENT.
GOVERNMENT AND EXTERNAL AFFAIRS
, WHERE HE OVERSAW THE LEAGUE'S
INDIVIDUAL FOUNDATIONS AND
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDRAISING EFFORTS
AND SERVED AS A LIAISON FOR
FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL
GOVERNMENT AND POLICY ISSUES. HE
WAS FIRST ELECTED TO THE
PASADENA CITY COUNCIL IN 2013 IN
DISTRICT THREE DURING HIS TENURE
ON THE CITY COUNCIL CHAIRED THE
PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE, SERVED
ON THE FINANCE COMMITTEE AND WAS
ONE OF THE THREE CITY
REPRESENTATIVES TO THE BURBANK
GLENDALE PASADENA AIRPORT
AUTHORITY. HE EARNED A
REPUTATION FOR BEING A
PERSISTENT, PASSIONATE AND
PRAGMATIC POLICYMAKER ADVOCATING
FOR ISSUES SUCH AS FISCAL
INTEGRITY, PUBLIC SAFETY,
AFFORDABLE HOUSING, SOCIAL
JUSTICE AND THE ENVIRONMENT.
HE'S THE FORMER VICE MAYOR, AND
IF I CAN SAY ON A PERSONAL
LEVEL, HE HAD A BIG PRESENCE
ABOUT HIM. HE CAST A BIG SHADOW.
AND HE DEEPLY CARED ABOUT
PASADENA, HIS HOME CITY AND ITS
LEGACY GOING FORWARD. HIS FAMILY
WAS NO STRANGER TO THE WORLD OF
POLITICS, HAVING HOSTED
PRESIDENT OBAMA'S CO HOSTED
PRESIDENT OBAMA'S FIRST
CALIFORNIA EVENT AS A CAT AS HE
LAUNCHED HIS PRESIDENTIAL
CAMPAIGN. MANY PEOPLE KNOW HIS
SISTER LENA, WHO HAS BEEN
INVOLVED IN LOCAL POLITICS
WORKED FOR OUR COLLEAGUE,
SENATOR CAROL LU. FOR YEARS,
JOHN WILL SURELY BE MISSED. UM
HE HAD THAT CHARISMA THAT
PASSION AND HE LOVED PUBLIC
SERVICE. AND SO I RESPECTFULLY
ASK THIS BODY TO ADJOURN IN HIS
MEMORY. HE WILL BE MISSED IN
PASADENA BECAUSE HIS DECADES
GOING FORWARD, HE WOULD HAVE HAD
A TREMENDOUS IMPACT. SO THANK
YOU, COLLEAGUES. THANK YOU,
SENATOR POTANTINO ON THIS
ADJOURNED, SENATOR KAMLAGER.
THANK YOU. I TOO WANT TO RISE.
UM. TO SPEAK ABOUT COUNCILMAN
JOHN KENNEDY. UM HE WAS BLESSED
AND AS A RESULT, THOSE WHO KNEW
HIM WE'RE BLESSED. JOHN KENNEDY
WAS A TRUE SON OF PASADENA. HE
LOVED HIS CITY. HE TOOK PRIDE IN
HIS CITY, AND HE STRIVED TO MAKE
IT BETTER AND MORE HOSPITABLE
AND WELCOMING EACH AND EVERY DAY
FOR EVERYONE. JOHN KENNEDY WAS
KIND. HE WAS CARING. HE WAS A
HUMBLE PUBLIC SERVANT. HE WAS A
RARE BREED. UM THAT ELECTED
OFFICIAL WHO DOESN'T RUN INTO
THE SPOTLIGHT BUT QUIETLY WORKS
TO HELP CONSTITUENTS LISTENS TO
PEOPLE AND CONNECT ISSUES AND
PEOPLE TO SOLUTIONS WITHOUT
FANFARE THAT WAS COUNCILMAN JOHN
KENNEDY. HE WENT TO BLAIR HIGH
SCHOOL AND USC AND HOWARD AND
CAME BACK TO HIS HOME CITY. HE
DID SERVE THE PASADENA BRANCH OF
THE ACP, AND HE WORKED AND
SERVED IN A NUMBER OF POSITIONS
THAT ALLOWED HIM TO SUPPORT
ISSUES THAT HE CARED ABOUT.
EDUCATION SENIOR HOUSING,
COMMUNITY SAFETY, HEALTHCARE AND
WOMEN'S ISSUES, AND HE DID ALL
OF THESE THINGS WITH A SMILE. A
SMILE THAT MATCHED HIS
CHARACTER. WARM. BRIGHT AND
HONEST. HIS PASSING WAS
UNEXPECTED AND PAINFUL FOR SO
MANY OF US, WHICH IS A TRUE
TESTAMENT TO HIS EVER REACHING
LOVE FOR HUMANITY AND HIS
COMMITMENT TO KINDNESS. AS WAS
MENTIONED BY THE GOOD SENATOR
FROM BURBANK. GLENDALE. LENA
KENNEDY IS HIS SISTER, AND SHE'S
A MENTOR AND A FRIEND. TO SO
MANY OF US HERE TO SOME OF US
HERE, AND I KNOW THAT SHE'S
SUFFERING GREATLY FROM THIS
TRAGIC LOSS BECAUSE YOU KNOW
THEY WORKED TOGETHER ON MANY OF
THE ISSUES THAT THEY BOTH CARED
ABOUT, AND THAT HE WAS ABLE TO
HIGHLIGHT AS A COUNCILMAN. AND I
THINK THAT SPEAKS TO WHO HE WAS
THAT HE SHARED THIS SPACE WITH
HIS SISTER AND WITH STAKEHOLDERS
AND OTHERS TO CELEBRATE AND
ELEVATE PASADENA. IT WAS JUST
THE KIND OF PERSON THAT HE WAS,
AND HE WILL BE DEEPLY MISSED.
THANK YOU, MR KAMLAGER, SENATOR
BRADFORD. THANK YOU, MADAM
PRESIDENT AND I TO RISE AND A
GERMAN TO ADD MY VOICE TO THAT
WHICH HAS BEEN SAID BY ABOUT
JOHN KENNEDY, A DEAR FRIEND OF
MINE WHO I HAD TO PLEASURE
WORKING WITH AT SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA EDISON AND AS STATED
HE WAS ONE OF THE MOST
PASSIONATE, MOST COURAGEOUS
INDIVIDUALS THAT YOU WOULD EVER
MEET, AND YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO
BE IN A ROOM IN A DISCUSSION
WENT ON BECAUSE HE WASN'T GONNA
BROWBEAT YOU AND BERATE YOU.
HE'S GOING TO WIN YOU OVER WITH
THAT MILLION DOLLAR SMILE. NO
MATTER WHAT THE ISSUE WAS, HE
HAD A SMILE ON HIS FACE. HE
EMBODIED WHAT A SERVANT LEADER
WAS ALL ABOUT. THAT'S ALL JOHN
CARED ABOUT WAS THE RESULTS.
MANY OF US LEAVE WITH OUR TITLES
. WE LEAD WITH OUR EGOS HE LED
WITH HIS HEART. AND I'M BLESSED
TO CALL HIM A FRIEND. WE OFTEN
JOKED AND SAID WE WERE THE DANA
BOYS. HE WAS FROM PASADENA. I
WAS FROM GARDENA, AND WE ALWAYS
SHARED A GOOD LAUGH. AND EVEN
WHEN WE DIDN'T AGREE ON
SOMETHING, HE HAD A WAY OF
WINNING YOU OVER WHERE YOU SAID,
YOU KNOW, JOHN, YOU ARE RIGHT
BECAUSE HE WAS JUST THAT KIND OF
PERSON NEVER ANGRY AND AS OUR
COLLEAGUE FROM PASADENA,
GLENDALE STATED HE HAD A ARRAY
OF DEGREES. HE WORKED FOR THE
RICHMOND POLICE DEPARTMENT IN
VIRGINIA AS A ACHIEVED TO THE
POLICE CHIEF. I MEAN, THE GUY
HAD AN AMAZING BACKGROUND, BUT
HE NEVER TALKED ABOUT ANY OF
THAT. I HAD A LOT DEGREE WORKING
AT EDISON NEVER TALKED ABOUT
THAT IT WAS ALWAYS ABOUT THE
PEOPLE WAS ALWAYS ABOUT GIVING
BACK AND WHEN HE JOINED THE
URBAN LEAGUE. IT WAS AGAIN ABOUT
UP LIFTING THE COMMUNITY. SO
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT SOMEONE WHO
SERVED WITH THEIR HEART WOULDN'T
KNOW EGO. IT'S JOHN KENNEDY AND
I THINK THE NAME JOHN KENNEDY IS
FITTING, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU
TALK ABOUT PROFILES AND COURAGE
. HE EXEMPLIFIED. DADDY LIVED IN
EACH AND EVERY DAY AND I STATED
HE PROBABLY RAISED MORE FUNDS
FOR ORGANIZATIONS AND NEVER WANT
TO TAKE ANY CREDIT FOR NOT ONLY
FOR ORGANIZATIONS BUT
INDIVIDUALS WRITING FOR ELECTED
OFFICE. WELL BEFORE HE EVER
DECIDED TO RUN FOR ELECTED
OFFICE. HE WAS ALWAYS HELPING
OTHER FOLKS. AND WHEN HE GOT
ELECTED TO CITY COUNCIL, I
COULDN'T HAVE BEEN ANY PROUDER
AND I HAVE NO DOUBT EDDY CHOSEN
TO GO ON TO BE IT THE STATE
LEGISLATURE OR CONGRESS. HE
WOULD HAVE DONE THAT. AH AND
GRANTS TOWEL, BUT AGAIN HE WAS
ABOUT SERVICE AND HE'S GOING TO
BE TRULY MISSED, BUT HE WILL
NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, SENATOR BRADFORD.
SENATOR PORTANTINO. PLEASE BRING
HIS NAME FORWARD SO HE MAY BE
PROPERLY MEMORIALIZED BY THE
CALIFORNIA STATE SENATE
REMEMBERS. WE ARE NOW GOING TO
GO TO SENATOR SKINNER AND
SENATOR BRADFORD, SENATOR
SKINNER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
MEMBERS AND, UH, MADAM PRESIDENT
MEMBERS, RIGHT, STAY AND ASK YOU
TO JOIN ME IN A JOURNEY IN
MEMORY OF THE LEGENDARY
BASKETBALL STAR AND CIVIL RIGHTS
ACTIVISTS. BILL RUSSELL. NOW YOU
MIGHT BE WONDERING GIVEN THAT
BILL RUSSELL PLAYED FOR THIS
CELTICS BOSTON TEAM. AT LEAST
I'M NOT A BIG FAN OF WHY WE ARE
DOING IN A JOURNEY IN MEMORY FOR
BILL RUSSELL. WELL. HE WAS
OAKLAND. BILL RUSSELL GOT HIS
START IN BASKETBALL ON THE
PLAYGROUNDS OF WEST OAKLAND,
WHERE HE GREW UP. AND WHERE HE
LED THE CLAIMANTS HIGH SCHOOL'S
BASKETBALL TEAM TO TWO STATE
CHAMPIONSHIPS. NOW OAKLAND'S
PRODUCED A LOT OF SPORTS LEGENDS
. RICKY HENDERSON, JOE MORGUE,
UNFRIEND ROBINSON, WHO WAS BILL
RUSSELL'S TEAMMATE AT CLEMENS.
BUT BILL RUSSELL STANDS ABOVE
THEM ALL, AND IS SO FAR
OAKLAND'S GREATEST ATHLETE, AND
IT WAS AT MY CLEMENS THAT
UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISCO TOOK
NOTICE OF BILL RUSSELL AND
OFFERED HIM A SCHOLARSHIP. NO
OTHER TEAM OR EXCUSE ME. NO
OTHER COLLEGE OFFERED HIM A
SCHOLARSHIP. UM. BUT HE WAS A
LATE BLOOMER. WHEN IT CAME TO
BASKETBALL. HEWASN'T A CHILD
SPORTS PRODIGY. HE SPENT MOST OF
HIS TIME AT THE OAKLAND PUBLIC
LIBRARY, DEVOURING BOOKS ABOUT
LITERATURE AND ART. HE ONLY
BECAME A STARTER IN THE CLEMENS
WHEN HE WAS A JUNIOR YEAR. BUT
THEN UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISCO
NOTICED HIS BRILLIANCE OFFERED
HIM THAT SCHOLARSHIP. AND IT WAS
FORTUNATE THEY DID, BECAUSE ONCE
HE GOT THERE, HE TOOK IT BY
STORM, AND HE LED USF DAWNS TO A
RECORD 55 WINS IN A ROW AS THEY
WON BACK TO BACK AND SEE TO A
CHAMPIONSHIPS. HE THEN WENT ON
TO LEAD THE U. S. OLYMPIC
BASKETBALL TEAM TO A GOLD MEDAL.
IN THE 1956 GAMES, AND THEN HE
JOINED THE BOSTON CELTICS. UM.
BUT THE OTHER THING BILL RUSSELL
IS REALLY KNOWN FOR. IS HIS
ACTIVISM. HE WAS AMONG A GROUP
OF LEADING BLACK ATHLETES IN THE
SIXTIES WHO ARE CIVIL RIGHTS
ACTIVISTS THAT FOUGHT AGAINST
RACISM IN SPORTS AND IN SOCIETY
, AND THAT GROUP INCLUDED
MOHAMMED ALI, KAREEM ABDUL
JABBAR, JIM BROWN, THEY SPOKE
AGAINST THE VIETNAM WAR. THEY
SPOKE AGAINST RACISM. THEY
SUPPORTED THE CIVIL RIGHTS
MOVEMENT, AND THAT WAS
PARTICULARLY COURAGEOUS
CONSIDERING THAT RUSSELL PLAYED
FOR AND LIVED IN BOSTON, WHICH
DURING THE FIFTIES AND SIXTIES.
WAS DISPLAYED ITS RACISM PRETTY
DEMONSTRABLY THOSE FANS IN THE.
YOU KNOW WHEN GAMES WERE BEING
PLAYED, AND IN FACT, RUSSELL
DESCRIBED BOSTON AS THE MOST
SEGREGATED CITY HE HAD EVER
SEEN, AND A FLEA MARKET OF
RACISM. BUT I WILL NOW ALLOW MY
COLLEAGUE FROM GARDENA TO TALK
ABOUT THE OTHER BRILLIANCE OF MR
RUSSELL. THANK YOU. SENATOR
SKINNER, SENATOR BRADFORD. WELL,
THANK YOU. AND AS STATED HE WAS
BORN IN 1934 AND MY ROLE, UH,
LOUISIANA BUT MOVED TO
CALIFORNIA, UH, AND ALSO WAS
RAISED, UM UM, CROSS COUNTRY BUT
AGAIN, HE WAS A MAN OF
TREMENDOUS LEGACY AND LOG LIST
OF ACHIEVEMENTS, INCLUDING MANY
FIRST HE WAS THE FIRST TO WIN
THE N C DOUBLE H CHAMPIONSHIPS
AND NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BACK TO
BACK AND HE WAS ONE AMONG THE
FIRST OF HIS CLASS OF MEMBERS OF
THE NATIONAL COLLEGE BASKETBALL
HALL OF FAME. HE WAS THE FIRST
BLACK HEAD COACH IN THE N B, A
AND RED ARE, BACH INSISTED ON
HIM, SUCCEEDING HIM AS THE COACH
OF THE BOSTON CELTICS, AND HE
WAS ON A CHAMPIONSHIP. THE FIRST
TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP, I SHOULD
SAY AND THE FIRST RECIPIENT OF
THE N B A LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT
AWARDS. ON AND OFF THE COURT.-BILL RUSSELL WAS KNOWN AS A MAN
OF GREAT PRIDE, INTELLIGENCE AND
DIGNITY. A PERSONAL MODEL PASSED
DOWN TO HIM FROM HIS FATHER AND
HIS GRANDFATHER WAS A MAN HAS TO
DRAW A LINE INSIDE HIMSELF THAT
HE WON'T ALLOW ANY MAN TO CROSS.
RUSSELL'S OWN PERSONAL MODEL
BECAME IF YOU DISRESPECT THE
LINE, YOU DISRESPECT ME. HIS
LIFE AND THE LIVES OF HIS FAMILY
WAS MARKED BY CONSTANT BATTLE
AGAINST RACIAL ABUSE. AS STATED
HE WAS CONSTANTLY HARASSED IN
BOSTON AS A PLAYER DESPITE HIS
AMAZING ABILITIES. BECAUSE OF
THIS, HE WAS EXTREMELY SENSITIVE
TO ALL RACIAL PREJUDICE AND
BECAME ACTIVE IN THE BLACK POWER
MOVEMENT. BEFORE THERE WAS A
COLIN KAEPERNICK TAKING A KNEE.
IT WAS BILL RUSSELL, WHO REFUSED
TO TRAVEL AND PLAY IN A
INTERNATIONAL NATIONAL EAM. I
SAY ONCE HE WAS DENIED HOUSING
WITH THE WHITE PLAYERS, AND THEY
SET OUT AND IT ENDED THE WHOLE
TOURNAMENT BECAUSE THE AFRICAN
AMERICAN ATHLETES WERE THE
PRETTY MUCH TO CRUSH PART OF
THAT TEAM. HE COMBATED RACISM AS
A PLAYER AND AS A COACH AND EVEN
HAVING HIS HOME BROKEN INTO AND
VANDALIZED WITH RACIST GRAFFITI
AS THE COACH OF THE BOSTON
CELTICS. HIS EXPERIENCE OF
CONSTANT RACISM WITH THE BOSTON
CELTICS FANS, AND HE BECAME A
LIEN ALIENATED FROM THEM.
RUSSELL FELT THAT THE CLAIM FROM
THE FANS WAS INSINCERE. AND
HYPOCRITICAL BECAUSE OF THE
REPEATED RACIAL BIGOTRY, AND THE
FBI MAINTAINED A FOUL. ON MR
RUSSELL, WHICH DESCRIBED HIM AS
AN ARROGANT NEGRO WHO WON'T SIGN
AUTOGRAPHS FOR WHITE KIDS.
DESPITE THIS ADVERSITY, RUSSELL
WENT ON TO WIN THE NBA TITLE 11
TIMES IN 13 YEARS, HE WHEN HE
PLAYED FOR THE BOSTON CELTICS,
AND WAS AN ALL STAR 12 OF THOSE
YEARS AND WAS NBA'S MOST
VALUABLE PLAYER FIVE TIMES, HE
ONCE SAID. I DID HAVE ONE MAJOR
PROBLEM AS A PLAYER. I HAD BAD
HANDS BECAUSE I HAVE 11
CHAMPIONSHIP RINGS, BUT ONLY 10
FINGERS. HIS HIS LEGACY AND
SPORTS WILL LAST FOR GENERATIONS
, AND IT GOES WELL BEYOND
BASKETBALL IN 9 2002 NBA FINALS
, NBP WAR WAS RENAMED THE BILL
RUSSELL AND B T M B M B A FINAL
UH, MVP AWARD. HE WAS AWARDED
THE PRESIDENT BENNETT, UH,
PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF HONOR FROM
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA IN 2010.
AND AN AUGUST OF 2020, THE WEST
COAST CONFERENCE HOME OF
RUSSELL'S UNIVERSITY OF SAN
FRANCISCO, ADOPTED THE RUSSELL
RULE. NAMED AFTER HIM AND
MODELED AFTER THE NFL ROONEY
RULE, WHICH STATED THAT YOU
WOULD HAVE TO REQUIRE EACH
COLLEGE TO INCLUDE A MEMBER OF
UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITY IN
THE POOL OF THE FINAL CANDIDATES
OF EVERY ATHLETIC DIRECTORS,
SENIOR ADMINISTRATOR, HEAD COACH
AND FULL TIME ASSISTANT I WAS
HONORED TO MEET MR RUSSO ABOUT
20 YEARS AGO BECAUSE HE WAS A
REGULAR AT STAPLES CENTER. AND
HE AND HIS WIFE WOULD SIT BEHIND
THE BASKETBALL. I BELIEVE ON THE
WEST END OF THE CORD. AND BUT HE
WERE RARELY SAT DOWN. HE STOOD
IN THE TUNNEL. AND I WAS INVITED
TO COME THROUGH THE TUNNEL ONE
NIGHT AND I WAS TOTALLY
INTIMIDATED BECAUSE WE KNEW OF
HIS REPUTATION. HE WASN'T BIG ON
, YOU KNOW, GLAD HANDING, AND,
YOU KNOW, CHATTING IT UP WITH A
LOT OF FOLKS, BUT THAT NIGHT, HE
STUCK OUT OF HIS HAND. HE SHOOK
MY HAND. SOMEBODY INTRODUCED ME
AS THE COUNCIL AND HE SAYS, HEY,
THANK YOU. WE NEED ELECTED
OFFICIALS AND I WAS TOTALLY
BLOWN AWAY BY ROMAN AND I USED
TO LOOK FORWARD TO GOING TO THE
BASKETBALL GAMES. AND FOR YEARS
YOU WOULD SEE HIM STANDING OVER
IN THE TUNNEL AGAIN BECAUSE HE
DIDN'T WANT TO ATTENTION. HE LET
HIS WIFE SIT UP IN HIS SEAT, AND
HE STOOD IN THE, UH IN IT AND,
UH, TUNNEL RIGHT THERE AND WATCH
THE GAME FOR ALL FOUR QUARTERS
FOR MANY, MANY YEARS, BUT WHO
WAS A HUMBLE MAN, BUT HIS LEGACY
WILL LIVE ON AND I'M HONORED TO
SAY THAT I GOT A CHANCE TO MEET
HIM AND I KNOW HIS LEGACY WILL
LIVE ON. SO I THANK YOU FOR THIS
OPPORTUNITY AT MY COMMENTS.
THANK YOU, SENATOR BRADFORD.
SENATOR SKINNER, CENTER.
BRADFORD PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU
BRING HIS NAME FORWARD SO HE CAN
BE PROPERLY MEMORIALIZED BY THE
CALIFORNIA STATE SENATE. SENATOR
BRADFORD, I BELIEVE YOU HAVE
ANOTHER ADJOURN. THANK YOU. I
RISE NOW TO ADJOURN IN THE
MEMORY OF MICHELLE NICHOLS, WHO
PASSED AWAY ON JULY 30TH. AT THE
YOUNG AGE OF 89. SHE WAS AN
ACTRESS, SINGER, DANCER AND
GROUNDBREAKING ICON. MICHELLE
WAS BORN ON DECEMBER 28 1932 AND
ROBIN SILIN OISE. HER FATHER
WORKED IN A FACTORY AND ALSO
SERVED AS THE MAYOR AND CHIEF
MAGISTRATE OF ROBIN'S. HER
MOTHER'S WAS A HOMEMAKER. THEIR
FAMILY MOVED TO CHICAGO WHEN
NICHOLAS WAS A CHILD, WHERE SHE
STUDIED DANCE AT THE CHICAGO
BALLET. MANY WILL RECOGNIZE HER
FOR HER PERFORMANCE OF
LIEUTENANT UHURU. UM UH, ON THE
LITTLE KNOWN SCIENCE FICTION
TELEVISION SERIES CALLED
HISTORIC TRACK. SHE ASKED FOR
THAT NAME BECAUSE IT WAS A
AFRICAN NAME AND THE PRODUCERS
OF THE SHOW. INITIALLY BALKED AT
IT AND SAID NO, AND SHE INSISTED
, SHE SAYS, I'M NOT DOING IT
UNLESS I PICKED THE NAME THAT I
WANT TO WANT TO BE CALLED, AND
SHE WON OUT. UM CAST FOR THE
ROLE IN 1960 66. SHE WAS ONE OF
THE FIRST BLACK WOMAN FEATURED
IN A MAJOR TELEVISION SERIES AND
PORTRAYED HER ROLE AS THE BRIDGE
OFFICER WITH INTELLIGENCE AND
DIGNITY WHEN SHE CONSIDERED
LEAVING THE SHOW, SHE WAS
CONVINCED TO STAY ON BY NONE
OTHER THAN DR MARTIN LUTHER KING
, WHO DESCRIBED WHO ARE AS THE
FIRST NON STEREOTYPICAL ROLL
PORTRAYED BY A BLACK WOMAN IN
TELEVISION HISTORY UPWARDS, AND
THEN THEY WERE HOUSEKEEPERS AND
MAIDS AND JUST ANYTHING BUT
DIGNIFIED. DOCTOR KING WENT ON
TO SAY THAT SHE WAS WAS THE
GREATEST. HE WAS THE GREATEST
FAN AND SHE REDEFINE WHAT WAS
POSSIBLE FOR YOUNG BLACK WOMEN.
BUT. MICHELLE WAS NOT SATISFIED
WITH SIMPLY BEING AN ICON OR
ROLE MODEL. TAKING HER WORK, UH
, TO THE LITERAL STAIRS, SHE
CHANNELED HER. A STAR IS I
SHOULD SAY SHE CHANNELED HER
SUCCESS INTO VOLUNTEERING FOR
NASA TO RECRUIT DIVERSE
PERSONNEL FOR THE SPACE AGENCY.
IT WAS DURING THE DISCOVERY
SHUTTLE THAT I HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO MEET HER WHEN IT
UH WAS CAME THROUGH INGLEWOOD
AND THEN AT THE COLLEGE
EXPOSITION PARK. AND I HAD TO
HONOR TO SIT OUT TO DINNER, AND
SHE WAS A MAJOR INFLUENCE ON
DIVERSIFYING NOW SETTING
RECRUITING. BLACKOUT BLACK
ASTRONAUTS IN 1975 NICHOLAS
ESTABLISHED WOMEN IN MOTION
INCORPORATED A COMPANY THAT WAS
CREATED TO EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS
USING MUSIC AS A TEACHING TOOL,
WHICH WAS THEN EXPANDED FOR
ASTRONAUT RECRUITMENT AFTER
NICHOLS WON A GRANT FROM NASA.
HER WORK LED UH TO THOUSANDS OF
WOMEN AND MINORITIES TO SUBMIT
APPLICATIONS TO THE SPACE
PROGRAM LIKE SALLY RIDE THE
FIRST AMERICAN WOMAN IN SPACE
AND GUY BLUE FURRED, THE FIRST
BLACK AMERICAN IN SPACE. HER
ADVOCACY CHANGED THE FACE OF
STEM DISCIPLINES ACROSS THE
UNITED STATES AND STRENGTHEN THE
CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT, SHE
WROTE. AS I LEARNED TO BELIEVE
IN MY TALENT. IN MY VOICE. IT
MYSELF. I LEARNED THAT I CAN
MAKE OTHERS BETTER AS WELL AND
BELIEVE AS WELL REMEMBERS.
PLEASE JOIN ME AND, UM, A
JOURNEY AND A MEMORY OF AN
UNFORGETTABLE TRAILBLAZER
MISSING THE SHELL NICHOLS. THANK
YOU, SENATOR BRADFORD. PLEASE

MAY BE PROPERLY MEMORIALIZED BY
THE CALIFORNIA STATE SENATE. IF
