Issues around\nconfederacy, colonialism and slavery. Andrew Jackson was a slaveowner who killed and\nenslaved many people. Read information in attached letter, Exhibit 1. So why does Alameda\nhave a park named after Andrew Jackson. In Woody Minor's book, Alameda at Play, doesn't\nexplain why Alameda's first park was named after Andrew Jackson. Idea of Justice Park\nrenaming is to represent and reflect on past injustices that have taken place in this community.\nRock at Lincoln Park represents Native Americans. Also the injustice of forced displacement of\nJapanese community members in Alameda during WWII. Repeated mass exclusion and\nexpulsion from housing in Alameda. Would be a symbolic move toward justice. As you consider\nyour decision today to conduct a study to use information available.

I saw that\nCommissioner Tilos had concerns about the accuracy or sources of the information i shared.\nAlameda blogger Lauren Do also watched the video and wrote a blog post which included a\nfew links to sources ( https://laurendo.wordpress.com/2018/04/18/marchin-on-the-trail-of-\ntears/). I will also share them below.\n(Andrew) Jackson held hundreds of African people in captivity:\nAs you probably know, the \"Hermitage\" was Andrew Jackson's mansion and plantation. the\nofficial website of the Hermitage states:\nIn all reality, slavery was the source of Andrew Jackson's wealth.\nThe Hermitage was a 1,000 acre, self-sustaining plantation that relied completely on the labor\nof enslaved African American men, women, and children. They performed the hard labor that\nproduced The Hermitage' is cash crop, cotton. The more land Andrew Jackson accrued, the\nmore slaves he procured to work it. Thus, the Jackson family's survival was made possible by\nthe profit garnered from the crops worked by the enslaved on a daily basis.\nWhen Andrew Jackson bought The Hermitage in 1804, he owned nine enslaved African\nAmericans. Just 25 years later that number had swelled to over 100 through purchase and\nreproduction. At the time of his death in 1845, Jackson owned approximately 150 people who\nlived and worked on the property.\nConsidering how many enslaved Africans may have runaway, been sold, or died while in\ncaptivity, it is reasonable to state that \"Jackson held hundreds of African people in captivity.\"\nI\nuse the language \"enslaved Africans\" or refer to African people as being held captivity,\nopposed to calling them slaves. They were human beings that were enslaved.\nAll that said, the source is from the estate of Jackson. If there is sincere concern on the impact\nrenaming Jackson Park in Alameda will have on his descendants:\nhttps://thehermitage.com/contact-us/\nSource: Andrew Jackson's Hermitage https://thehermitage.com/learn/mansion-\ngrounds/slavery/", "path": "RecreationandParkCommission/2018-05-10.pdf"}
