Quarter inch. We talked about the line that could be in the north bay, and that is exactly what has happened, and it looks like things are letting up a little bit, but still like shower activity around antioch, concord, the east bay in the peninsula. The breeze will be here with the blustery day, east southeast for two days, mild on the temperatures. We dont expect that to change, and we could see mid70s if the sun pops out. The next system is not one favoring the north bay, for everybody on thursday. 60s and 70s on the temperatures. 6 01 am. Slow traffic, a lot of people driving a little bit slower, and the rain you mentioned, not major but enough to slow down the traffic. When we get to the bay bridge you can see we have the camera a little bit wet, not a major downpour but slowing people down on the bridge.

in the fall of 2006 an african-american high school student in the town of gina louisiana, asked if he could sit under a tree that traditionally had been a space reserved only for white students. the day after the student defied the tradition, three nooses appeared on the tree. shortly thereafter amid heightened racial tensions six black gina high students were arrested after a fight that left a white student with multiple bruises and a concussion. all six students were charged with attempted murder and initially faced up to 100 years in prison without parole. they would be known as. jena 6 and their plight had supporters to decry charges against the boys while noting the white boys responsible for the nooses were suspended but not charged. the movement coalesced around the issue of overincarceration of african-american men. but in the shadow of that larger question, another one quietly lingered. years after lynching had largely
