Duration 57 minutes
--- Featuring Click the Name to access the Segment below 1. Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz, Host of Women's Spaces 2. Guest: Faith Ross, President, Petaluma Blacks for Community Development ---- ---- 1. Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz: Joining me on the phone today will be Faith Ross, chair of the Petaluma Blacks for Community Development (PBCD) and a volunteer at the Petaluma Historical Library and Museum. We are going to talk about PBCD history and their event happening this Saturday on September 16th. Since today is the 22nd anniversary of the terror attack on 9/11/2001 in New York City, which is memorialized with a national holiday called Patriot Day. I will talk a bit on how humans are so prone to turn to war for their solutions and will play a Bob Dylan song of With God on Our Side, sung by Judy Collins. Poor God with so many sides of war to be on throughout the ages.
Patriot Day, holiday
observed in the United
States on September 11 to
commemorate the lives of
those who died in the 2001
terrorist attacks on the
World Trade Center in New
York City and the Pentagon
in Virginia and those who
perished when the hijacked
United Airlines Flight 93
crashed in Pennsylvania. The
holiday also recognizes
those who died attempting to
rescue people trapped by the
attacks.
By a joint resolution of the U.S. Congress on Dec. 18, 2001, September 11 was designated as Patriot Day. The resolution calls for the president of the United States to issue a yearly proclamation requesting that all U.S. flags be flown at half-staff. Further, Americans are asked to honour the dead with a moment of silence beginning at 8:46 AM, Eastern Standard Time, the time that the first airplane struck the World Trade Center, and to respect the ceremonies of remembrance when they are conducted. Prior to passage of the resolution, several other names had been proposed for the day, such as the National Day of Remembrance and the National Day of Prayer and Remembrance.

2. Our Guest, Faith
Ross, talks about the
history of Petaluma Blacks for
Community Development (PBCD).
Gloria Robinson wanted to share
Black history and culture with
the larger community
and started PBCD in 1978. The
first challenge was to encourage
other black families to join, so
she first went to schools on the
eastside of Petaluma, where many
Blacks moved to because of the
lower cost of housing. She was
able to connect with the parents
of the kids. She then put on the
first picnic, and it was
attended so well that 20
families became involved with
PBCD. In 2021 the Grapevine
Youth Leadership
program was started to encourage
youth scholastic
excellence and leadership
empowerment.
Black youth in an accredited
college in the Bay Area are
given a stipend and give back in
service projects. About our Guest: Faith Ross is currently involved in her community of Petaluma through Petaluma Blacks for Community Development (PBCD), and, Petaluma Historical Library and Museum., A native of California raised in Louisiana, Ross received a degree in Business Administration from the Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Ross retired from the Auditor/Assessor's Office at the County of Sonoma and was former member of the Sonoma County Human Rights Commission. Ross has been the curator of several successful exhibitions at the museum including “Women who fought for Civil Rights” and “The Many Faces of Petaluma – The Ethnic and Cultural Diversity of our City.” As one of the founding members of PBCD, Ross has helped to promote an understanding of Black history and culture by providing a free community Black History Program, and other events during February which is Black History Month. ----- Guest Links:
