Tonight some 70s holding in our inland valleys with clear skies, patchy fog at the coast, look for about 63 than ton the penin. The accuweather forecast showing the warmest day today. Coming up 5 to 10 degrees inland from yesterdays readings holding onto those 90s inland tomorrow and the cooling really gets going throughout next week with numbers coming down, and well be breezy at the coast. Liz . All right, lisa, thank you. We know their names, george floyd, breonna taylor, many more but now their names are living here in the bay area through art and its helping people heal in these trying times. This mural we named it the 27 hour mural for breonna because she would have been 27. She didnt make it. She was slaughtered by the louisville, kentucky, police department. We thought welllets do it in 27 hours an hour for every year that she lived on this planet well, almost lived. I want them to remember breonna and i want them to take action for her. We want them to call the d. A. In louisville, reach out to the prosecutors, call the police department. We want them to do everything we did for george floyd. It needs to be done for her. Thats what we want. The peoples conservatory our focus on black and brown youth in the east bay and surrounding area. Everything we do is sort of high level arts training with a culturally representative focus. We serve over ten schools in the east bay and about 2,000 kids. Theres nothing like art to be able to express the current times, whats happening in the world. Its artists that are able to inspire people to really take a look at what is happening in the world and want to make change, to find solutions, to be inspired to do more, to grow more. And so for me that has to start young. We start with kids as young as 5 years old. Our youth, our adults our community, everyone works on this piece. There was a lot of light on george floyd which has been amazing, hugely galvanized the world. We didnt hear much about her, enough about her. So we wanted to do our part to bring light to her. The reaction was incredible. Weve gin getting tagged on facebook and instagram by just random people who have taken a picture of this mural and because of it we actually decided to do more. So more folks have reached out and said hey we want you to do a mural in this part of oakland or that part of oakland. So were going to do it. All right, were excited about this one. Just ahead the story of Velma Williams, the perfect way to share this Independence Day as she gets ready for all right, welcome back. A pillar of building a better bay area is race and social justice and part of that is willingness to understand and learn about our countrys complicated past. New today we want to pish a happy 100th birthday to an oakland woman whose remarkable Family History can help us all do just that. This is Velma Williams and on this july fourth shes turning 100. If that isnt amazing enough listen to her Family History. Ms. Williams is a descendant of Sally Hemmings, one of Thomas Jeffersons slaves with whom he had several children. It was only in recent years she officially learned she is the great greatgranddaughter of sallys older brother peter hemmings. A few years ago she traveled to jeffersons plantation in virginia to meet other descendants of monticellos enslaved community. The last time i went there was a big reunion and id never seen so many people at a reunion, and they were people of every color, shape, complexion. They were from everywhere, and there was camaraderie and warmth and something pleasant. And it was almost spiritual because we didnt know each other and yet everybody felt close, both whites and blacks. Ms. Williams tells us shed always heard stories from relatives about descending from the Africanamerican Community and that one female in each jen ration of their family was supposed to be named sally for Sally Hemmings. Her mother she said was named sally. Although she has lived in oakland for decades theres something about virginia when she travels there that always makes her feel right at home. And shell be included in monticellos virtual commemoration online starting at 8 00. Shell be in oakland celebrating with her family today. We wish her a very happy 100th birthday. Reading about Sally Hemmings is so fascinating. It was really controversial for a long time. People didnt really believe these descendants and it was only in recent history Sally Hemmings descendants was officially recognized. And theres an exhibit on Sally Hemmings at monticello people can go visit. That is fascinating and happy birthday to them. Good morning, everyone. A Beautiful Day today with not only warmer temperatures inland but around the bay as well. 84 around the delta, mid80s in san jose. 60s at the coast with breezy winds. Low 90s are returning to the north bay around santa rosa. The accuweather seven day forecast the warmest day out of the next seven today the fourth of july.
