Still, she got pregnant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosales was clear that she was not ready to have a baby. She wanted a medication abortion, where she’d take one pill at the clinic and a second one at home a day or two later to induce a miscarriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just wanted the intimacy of dealing with it on my own in the privacy of my own home,” she said. “And being able to cry if I wanted to cry or just being able to curl up in my bed right away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public university health centers in California do not perform abortions, but lawmakers will soon begin debate on a bill — \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB24\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SB 24\u003c/a> — that would require health centers at all 34 University of California and California State University campuses to provide medication abortions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's the second attempt at this bill, after then-Gov.

For example, Rosales was given three off-campus referrals for abortion providers by her student health center, but the first clinic she called didn’t do abortions after all, and the second didn’t take her insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time she could get an appointment at a third clinic, she was already into the second trimester of pregnancy — too late for a medication abortion, which can be done only up to 10 weeks. Rosales ended up having a surgical procedure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The doctor kept telling me to relax, to relax, and I couldn’t because it just hurt so bad,” she remembered. “I was just afraid and alone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosales graduated last year and is now advocating for the bill, working as a reproductive justice activist with the Women’s Foundation of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That group, along with a few other private donors, have agreed to pay for all the upfront equipment and training costs, namely, ultrasound equipment to determine how many weeks pregnant a woman is, and training on how to use the equipment and determine when it's safe and effective to prescribe the pills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's unclear if universities would eventually need to dip into tax dollars or student fees for ongoing costs. Critics say that’s not fair to students who oppose abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just by attending school and paying student fees, they would be paying for abortion,” said Anna Bakh, Northern California coordinator for Students for Life of America, which has 90 student groups throughout California. “That goes completely against their conscience.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>University officials testified during legislative hearings last year that not all CSU campuses and none of the UC campuses are able to bill and get reimbursed for services through state health programs, like Medi-Cal. It could be too much of an administrative or fiscal burden to establish billing systems needed to do so, they added, meaning some clinical costs, as well as security or liability costs, could fall to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Up to 519 women at public universities seek a medication abortion every month in California, according to estimates from \u003ca href=\"https://www.jahonline.org/article/S1054-139X(18)30185-X/fulltext\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a study\u003c/a> published in the Journal of Adolescent Health last summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same research found that off-campus abortion providers were an average 6 miles away from public university campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s an easy Uber ride away, said abortion opponent Anna Bakh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re questioning our legislators as to why their solution was to bring abortion onto campus, rather than providing transportation,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, the earlier version of the bill — \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB320\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SB 320\u003c/a> — was approved by the Legislature, but Brown vetoed it, citing the study on average distances students had to travel for abortions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because the services required by this bill are widely available off-campus, this bill is not necessary,” he wrote in his \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billStatusClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB320\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">veto message\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was about a month before the election, and then-candidate for governor, Gavin Newsom, said he would have supported the bill.

For example, Rosales was given three off-campus referrals for abortion providers by her student health center, but the first clinic she called didn’t do abortions after all, and the second didn’t take her insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time she could get an appointment at a third clinic, she was already into the second trimester of pregnancy — too late for a medication abortion, which can be done only up to 10 weeks. Rosales ended up having a surgical procedure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The doctor kept telling me to relax, to relax, and I couldn’t because it just hurt so bad,” she remembered. “I was just afraid and alone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosales graduated last year and is now advocating for the bill, working as a reproductive justice activist with the Women’s Foundation of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That group, along with a few other private donors, have agreed to pay for all the upfront equipment and training costs, namely, ultrasound equipment to determine how many weeks pregnant a woman is, and training on how to use the equipment and determine when it's safe and effective to prescribe the pills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's unclear if universities would eventually need to dip into tax dollars or student fees for ongoing costs. Critics say that’s not fair to students who oppose abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just by attending school and paying student fees, they would be paying for abortion,” said Anna Bakh, Northern California coordinator for Students for Life of America, which has 90 student groups throughout California. “That goes completely against their conscience.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>University officials testified during legislative hearings last year that not all CSU campuses and none of the UC campuses are able to bill and get reimbursed for services through state health programs, like Medi-Cal. It could be too much of an administrative or fiscal burden to establish billing systems needed to do so, they added, meaning some clinical costs, as well as security or liability costs, could fall to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Up to 519 women at public universities seek a medication abortion every month in California, according to estimates from \u003ca href=\"https://www.jahonline.org/article/S1054-139X(18)30185-X/fulltext\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a study\u003c/a> published in the Journal of Adolescent Health last summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same research found that off-campus abortion providers were an average 6 miles away from public university campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s an easy Uber ride away, said abortion opponent Anna Bakh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re questioning our legislators as to why their solution was to bring abortion onto campus, rather than providing transportation,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, the earlier version of the bill — \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB320\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SB 320\u003c/a> — was approved by the Legislature, but Brown vetoed it, citing the study on average distances students had to travel for abortions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because the services required by this bill are widely available off-campus, this bill is not necessary,” he wrote in his \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billStatusClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB320\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">veto message\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was about a month before the election, and then-candidate for governor, Gavin Newsom, said he would have supported the bill.

They were known as the “hulk undertakers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the dead of night, they would sail ships over valuable lots, unplug holes drilled into the ship’s keel and \u003cem>conveniently\u003c/em> lose the vessel on the spot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were actual open wars. One day the captain of the hulk undertakers was in the midst of giving a command when a wharf employee fired a shot at him. His mouth was open, he was yelling, and the bullet passed through one cheek and out the other, missing his tongue and his teeth. To the end of his days he wore a beard to cover those two scars on either side of his mouth,” says Delgado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides land, San Francisco also needed buildings. Because the city grew so rapidly and lumber was expensive to mill, many of the early buildings were constructed of canvas tents. One visitor described San Francisco as a magic lantern city at night, because the tents covering the hillsides would glow from within. While this may have been picturesque, the residents wanted more permanent structures, so they turned to the ships in the harbor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The junker ships were taken to “Rotten Row,” where Charles Hare and the local Chinese community systematically broke down hundreds of ships. The wood and metal were recycled into building materials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 200 of the nicer ships were easily turned into permanent structures. The majority were used as warehouses but other ships became hotels, offices, bars, counting houses, restaurants, auction halls, banks, cafes and a church. Even the city jail moved onto a ship once the old one became overcrowded and worn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10991250\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10991250 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/Library-of-Congress-e1466110626769-800x577.jpg\" alt=\"An illustration of early San Francisco where old ships were converted into buildings.\" width=\"800\" height=\"577\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/Library-of-Congress-e1466110626769-800x577.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/Library-of-Congress-e1466110626769-400x288.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/Library-of-Congress-e1466110626769.jpg 896w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An illustration of early San Francisco, where old ships were converted into buildings. \u003ccite>(Library of Congress)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“One of the prisoners actually was said to have taken the door off its hinges and carried it on his back to make a show and to demand that the jailer feed him because the jailer had skipped a meal,” says Delgado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As lots of water was filled and the city expanded into the Bay, many of the floating buildings found themselves surrounded by land, sitting along city streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then there were a series of fires.

One day the captain of the hulk undertakers was in the midst of giving a command when a wharf employee fired a shot at him. His mouth was open, he was yelling, and the bullet passed through one cheek and out the other, missing his tongue and his teeth. To the end of his days he wore a beard to cover those two scars on either side of his mouth,” says Delgado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides land, San Francisco also needed buildings. Because the city grew so rapidly and lumber was expensive to mill, many of the early buildings were constructed of canvas tents. One visitor described San Francisco as a magic lantern city at night, because the tents covering the hillsides would glow from within. While this may have been picturesque, the residents wanted more permanent structures, so they turned to the ships in the harbor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The junker ships were taken to “Rotten Row,” where Charles Hare and the local Chinese community systematically broke down hundreds of ships. The wood and metal were recycled into building materials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 200 of the nicer ships were easily turned into permanent structures. The majority were used as warehouses but other ships became hotels, offices, bars, counting houses, restaurants, auction halls, banks, cafes and a church. Even the city jail moved onto a ship once the old one became overcrowded and worn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10991250\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10991250 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/Library-of-Congress-e1466110626769-800x577.jpg\" alt=\"An illustration of early San Francisco where old ships were converted into buildings.\" width=\"800\" height=\"577\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/Library-of-Congress-e1466110626769-800x577.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/Library-of-Congress-e1466110626769-400x288.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/Library-of-Congress-e1466110626769.jpg 896w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An illustration of early San Francisco, where old ships were converted into buildings. \u003ccite>(Library of Congress)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“One of the prisoners actually was said to have taken the door off its hinges and carried it on his back to make a show and to demand that the jailer feed him because the jailer had skipped a meal,” says Delgado.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As lots of water was filled and the city expanded into the Bay, many of the floating buildings found themselves surrounded by land, sitting along city streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then there were a series of fires.

Kenny grew up in Lincoln Heights, which was mostly an Italian or Irish immigrant neighborhood. His family may have been the only African-American family in the neighborhood. He had wanted to go to Notre Dame, but they didn't play black players. He and Woody got recruited to UCLA as sophomores in 1937, and pretty much put UCLA football on the map for the first time. Jackie Robinson came on and played with them on the 1939 UCLA Bruin team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why was Los Angeles the place where integration happened in pro football?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ATWOOD\u003c/strong>: There was a very involved black press in L.A., with three major black newspapers. Those sportswriters pushed really hard for the team to integrate. No West Coast city had a major pro franchise until the Rams moved in 1946. They were trying to get a lease for the L.A. Coliseum. This was a moment when the black sportswriters knew they could pressure the L.A. Coliseum commission to potentially withhold a lease until the team tried out black players.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Your book traces how racial covenants were playing out in L.A. at the time. There were these racially restrictive housing covenants.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ATWOOD\u003c/strong>: At one time, it was estimated that 80 percent of the housing in Los Angeles was covered by racially restrictive housing covenants. That meant black residents, and Asian, Latino, Catholic or Jewish residents wouldn't be allowed to rent or buy in certain areas. That was playing out at the same time football was integrating. Some of Kenny and Woody's peers in the sports world, including two boxers, were told they had to leave their properties. Nat King Cole is another example of someone who was evicted because of these covenants. On the national scene, this was all playing out during a backlash after World War Two, when there was a rise in attacks and lynchings, including against black service members. A lot of these attacks happened in 1946, which was the same time Kenny and Woody were preparing to step out on the field for the L.A. Rams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In researching your book, you talked to family members, like Karin Washington Cohen, Kenny Washington's daughter. We called her up, too, and she told us some of her dad's experiences on the field. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>\"He was the target out there,\" Cohen said. \"They stepped on his hands.

He was a very good target.\"\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ATWOOD\u003c/strong>: Kenny and Woody faced hostility from just about everyone. Some fans were supportive, some were very hostile. Opposing coaches were hostile. So were opposing players. There's a scene in the book where Kenny's out of the play, and on the ground, and one of the opponents runs by him and takes a swing with his foot to kick him in the head.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What do you think Kenny Washington and Woody Strode would make of\u003c/strong> \u003cstrong>Colin Kaepernick's protests on the field today?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ATWOOD\u003c/strong>: They didn't have the luxury of protesting, in a sense, because they had to \"go along to get along,\" just to stay on the team. If they did anything like Colin did, the teams would have cut them. I think they would be supportive of the general belief, but they probably wouldn't be able to connect that well with the idea that here is a guy who can actually take that stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why have we heard so much about Jackie Robinson, yet Kenny and Woody's stories have been largely ignored?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ATWOOD\u003c/strong>: First of all, football wasn't as popular as baseball at the time. But also, Kenny and Woody's stories can't be told as tales of unabashed triumph over racism. Jackie did end up winning the World Series, did get an MVP, had a long career. Kenny and Woody were both near the ends of their career when they were signed by the Rams, because when they were at their peak, the NFL wasn't yet signing black players. They didn't have the same level of success. So what their stories do is to challenge the idea that racism was overcome when it was faced, and also the idea that if you hard enough, you can succeed, the American Dream. They tried just as hard as Jackie.
