Oakland Ain't Bad

Greetings






The McClymonds 1962 Class Reunion was a great success. Leonard Gardner and I were there with our TV camera crew filming the well dressed and beautiful West Oakland people and their friends. Carol Curtis, Joe Ellis, Glen Beamon and Thomas Angelo, to name a few, were making sure that every one was having a fine time.

The West Oakland Stories were flowing as we filmed to get clips for our TV show to be scheduled on OURTV, CH 78, television station in Oakland - so many positive stories about the 40's 50's and 60's. So much encouragement for us to keep on documenting us while we are alive because we are the last of our kind.

Remember the West Oakland Stories are about the REAL Oakland Black people being shown talking about living in that period of time and making a positive difference in Oakland, the country, and the world.

Next, we will be at the Teens of the 40's, 50's and 60's on November 24, 2012 filming this dinner and dance.

Any of you who would like to be part of this historical filming development, telling your positive story about this period of time and/or just showing your face so you can be filmed and preserved for all time, so that our children, grandchildren, great great grandchildren and future generations will see and hear the real stories from us and not from some one else twisting our history.

Come to Defremery Park club house facility in the big dance hall room on February 16th 2013 at 12:30 P.M.

Please let us hear from you so that we can get even better stories from you in the DeFremery club house atmosphere.

''OAKLAND IS NOT BAD'' We are projecting a positive image of Black Oakland. The Slave System teaches us to all ways talk about how bad Black people are. So let us counterfit the Slave System and talk about all the positive things we know we did and are still doing.
