KQED Newsroom: CCSF's Uncertain Future and the Anderson Art Collection to Open at Stanford
City College of San Francisco's Uncertain Future
The fate of City College of San Francisco and its 77,000 students continues to hang in the balance. Faculty and students descended on Sacramento Friday to protest at a meeting of the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges. That's the body that will strip CCSF of its accreditation on July 31 if it does not extend the deadline. The ACCJC maintains that federal law prohibits it from granting an extension. Several politicians, including Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, have spoken out to defend CCSF and urge the commission to give California's largest community college more time to fully comply with accreditation standards. The commissioners say that City College fell far short of meeting 100 percent compliance when an evaluation team last checked, in spring 2013.
Guests:
• Timothy Killikelly, California Federation of Teachers, and CCSF professor of political science
• Nanette Asimov, San Francisco Chronicle education reporter
• Rafael Mandelman, CCSF Board of Trustees member
• Larry Kamer, CCSF Chancellor's Office spokesperson
Anderson Art Collection to Open at Stanford
A new Bay Area art museum will open its doors this fall at Stanford University. The Anderson Collection at Stanford will showcase some of the 20th century's most prominent and provocative American post-war greats, like Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko, along with modern California masters like Wayne Thiebaud and Richard Diebenkorn. The works are a gift from Bay Area collectors Harry and Mary Anderson — known to most people as Hunk and Moo. Thuy Vu visited the Andersons in their Bay Area home to see what it's like to live in house full of masterpieces — and why they are sharing the core of their acclaimed collection with the public.

Nuclear Tipping Point (Trailer)
visit nucleartippingpoint.org to watch the documentary.
Nuclear Tipping Point is a conversation with four men intimately involved in American diplomacy and national security over the last four decades. Former Secretary of State George Shultz, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, former Secretary of Defense Bill Perry and former Senator Sam Nunn share the personal experiences that led them to write two Wall Street Journal op-eds, in support of a world free of nuclear weapons and the steps needed to get there. Their efforts have reframed the global debate on nuclear issues and, according to the New York Times, sent waves through the global policy establishment.
Nuclear weapons today present tremendous dangers, but also an historic opportunity. U.S. leadership will be required to take the world to the next stage — to a solid consensus for reversing reliance on nuclear weapons globally as a vital contribution to preventing their proliferation into potentially dangerous hands, and ultimately ending them as a threat to the world. From The Wall Street Journal Op-ed by George Shultz, William Perry, Henry Kissinger and Sam Nunn, January, 2007
The film is introduced by General Colin Powell, narrated by Michael Douglas and includes interviews with California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. Nuclear Tipping Point was written and directed by Ben Goddard and produced by the Nuclear Security Project in an effort to raise awareness about nuclear threats and to help build support for the urgent actions needed to reduce nuclear dangers. It was produced with support from NTI's Nuclear Security Project in cooperation with Stanford University's Hoover Institution, with funding from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, Mr. and Mrs. Richard P. Anderson, Phineas Anderson and Stephen Stranahan.

Tracking Down Descendants of Slaves in the Family: The Evolution of American Racial Relations (1999)
Edward Ball (born October 8, 1959) is an American writer, a university instructor and the author of five books of non-fiction. About the book:
The Inventor and the Tycoon: A Gilded Age Murder and the Birth of Moving Pictures (Doubleday) tells the story of the partnership, during the 1870s, between California railroad magnate Leland Stanford and solitary photographer Eadweard Muybridge, who killed a man, and then went on to invent motion pictures.
Slaves in the Family is a book about the author's family, slaveowners in South Carolina for 170 years. It recounts the author's search for and meetings with African Americans whose ancestors his family once enslaved.[1] The book won the National Book Award, became a New York Times bestseller,[2] was featured on Oprah, and was translated into several languages.[3][4]
Ball's other books include a biography of a transsexual and scandal figure from the 1960s, Dawn Langley Simmons, and a history of a rich black family in the Jim Crow South, the Harlestons of South Carolina.
After graduation, Ball moved to New York City, where he worked as a freelance art critic, writing about film, art, architecture, and books. For several years, he worked as a columnist for the weekly newspaper The Village Voice.[5]
In the 1990s, he began to research his father's family, which had enslaved some 4000 people on twenty-five rice plantations in South Carolina, between the years 1698 and 1865. The family legacy, documented in several archives, led to his first book, Slaves in the Family, a bestseller that won the National Book Award for Nonfiction.[6] He lived in Charleston, South Carolina at the time.
Ball lives in Connecticut and teaches at Yale University.
Slaves in the Family (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1998) — An investigation of 175 years of slave ownership by the author's family in South Carolina.
The Sweet Hell Inside: The Rise of an Elite Black Family in the South (Morrow, 2001) — The history of the Harlestons, a prosperous black family, progeny of a white Southern slaveholder and his enslaved black cook, who rose from the ashes of the Civil War to create a dynasty in art and music during the Jazz Age.
Peninsula of Lies: A True Story of Mysterious Birth and Taboo Love (Simon & Schuster, 2004) — The life of English writer Gordon Hall, who, during the 1960s, became one of the first sex-reassignment patients, reinvented as Dawn Langley Simmons, a rich white woman, who married a black fisherman and produced a mixed-race daughter, whom she claimed was her biological child.
The Genetic Strand: Exploring a Family History Through DNA (Simon & Schuster, 2007) — The author finds a 150-year-old collection of children’s hair kept by his family during the 1800s, and turns to DNA science as a tool of family history, testing the locks of hair to reveal their genetic secrets.[7][8]
The Inventor and the Tycoon: A Gilded Age Murder and the Birth of Moving Pictures (Doubleday, 2013) — The lives of 19th-century photographer Eadweard Muybridge and railroad capitalist Leland Stanford, who came together to invent the technology of motion pictures, although not before Muybridge murdered a man who had seduced his wife.
