From inner city Los Angeles to redwood trees, Tina Sampay, a Cal Poly Humboldt alum, self-published, “Slauson Girl: The Journey of a Black Journalist in South Central” earlier this year. When she’s not spending time with loved ones or nature, she can be found learning and engaging with her community.

Sampay’s memoir documents her lived experiences as a Black journalist navigating white institutions, while also engaging with themes of race, power, state-sanctioned violence and the ongoing marginalization of Black women’s voices. Sampay felt that it was necessary to build Black media as a counter-narrative highlighting voices who are often silenced.

Desde el centro de la ciudad de Los Ángeles hasta los árboles de madera roja, Tina Sampay, una exalumna de Humboldt State, publicó “Slauson Girl: The Journey of a Black Journalist in South Central” a principios de este año. Cuando no está pasando tiempo con sus seres queridos o la naturaleza, se la puede encontrar aprendiendo e involucrándose con su comunidad.

Las memorias de Sampai documentan sus experiencias vividas como periodista negra navegando instituciones blancas, mientras también involucrándose con temas de raza, poder, violencia sancionada por el estado y la continua marginalización de las voces de mujeres negras. Sampay sintió que era necesario construir medios negros como contranarrativa, resaltando a las voces que son con frecuencia silenciadas.

Rick Toledo, a Cal Poly Humboldt student, was arrested Friday, March 6 at 1 a.m. by the University Police Department. He is currently being held under a Ramey warrant at the Humboldt County Correctional facility, according to the Humboldt County booking sheet.

As per the California Legislative Information, Ramey warrants allow officers to arrest individuals with probable cause without charging them with an official crime.

The booking sheet listed that Toledo was arrested for felony assault and battery, conspiracy and false imprisonment. El Leñador has not been able to verify if other students have been arrested.

This morning, on March 6 at 11 a.m. protestors began meeting at the courthouse to show their support for Toledo and demand his release.

El Leñador requested confirmation from the university for the number of students arrested due to involvement in the Nelson Hall sit-in. They said they could not provide that information due to the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). El Leñador was unable to verify what led to Toledo’s arrest and if it was in connection with the sit-in.
