HERSTORY MADE: Keisha Lance Bottoms Becomes America's First Black Woman Elected Governor

From California’s historic gubernatorial victory to stunning Democratic wins in traditionally Republican states, the 2026 midterm elections reshape the political landscape and return control of Congress to Democrats.

Keisha Lance Bottoms

By WSS News Staff

History was made in Georgia on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, as former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms accomplished what no Black woman had ever achieved in the United States: winning an election to become governor of a state. Bottoms defeated Republican businessman Rick Jackson in Georgia's highly anticipated gubernatorial election, becoming not only the state's first woman governor but also the first Black woman elected to lead any of the nation's 50 states. Her victory represents a monumental achievement in American political history, breaking a barrier that had remained intact since the nation's founding 250 years ago. For Black women who have spent generations organizing communities, leading political movements, mobilizing voters and fighting for repre sentation, Bottoms' victory carries a significance extending far beyond Georgia's borders. It also marks a dramatic political shift in the Peach State, ending more than two decades of Republican control of the governor's office. The Associated Press called the race for Bottoms

California Big-City Mayors Want At Least $1 Billion In State Funding to Fight Homelessness

The bipartisan California Big City Mayors coalition called on the next governor and Legislature to guarantee at least $1 billion annually in homelessness funding, expand mental health treatment and rein in litigation costs straining municipal budgets during an Oct. 30 summit at Riverside City Hall. With affordable housing at the forefront of their agenda, the mayors also endorsed Proposition 1, an $11.25 billion housing bond on the Nov. 3 ballot, emphasizing the need for sustained state investment to address California’s housing and homelessness crises. The 13-city coalition represents nearly 11 million residents and advocates for stronger state-local partnerships on housing, public safety and economic development. California’s affordability gap underscores the urgency. According to the California Association of Realtors, just 19% of households could afford the state’s median-priced single-family home, costing nearly $895,000, in the third

Honoring Dolores Huerta: California Salutes the Life and Leadership of Labor and Civil Rights Icon

By Tanu Henry | California Black Media

Day of the Dead Arts Fest: A Night of Culture, Art and Community

Folklórico dancers fill the courtyard with color at the Day of the Dead Arts Fest 2022 at San Bernardino County Museum, as families gather beneath strands of papel picado to celebrate the tradition.

Dee Slade remembers Dolores Huerta not simply as a civil rights icon, but as a neighbor, collaborator and friend who never hesitated to answer another community’s call for justice. “What an amazing woman she was,” said Slade, executive director of the African American Network of Kern County. “She consistently put others before herself and she tirelessly advocated for civil rights for all groups with a strong focus on women's rights.” The two women lived in the same Bakersfield neighborhood and joined forces to challenge the disproportionate suspension and expulsion of Black students in Kern County schools. Slade recalled Huerta calling her about the alarming disciplinary rates, then convening advocates at the first and only African American art gallery in Kern County to organize a response. “Let's join forces,” Huerta told her, according to Slade. Their campaign, Slade recalled, helped secure changes. “We won,” Slade said. For Slade, that solidarity defined the woman she affectionately called “my Dolores.” Huerta, whose relentless organizing transformed American labor and civil rights, died October 28 of cancer at her Bakersfield home, surrounded by family. She was 96. Her passing prompted an outpouring of grief, gratitude and renewed determination to continue her work.

Third Annual Inland Film Festival Celebrates Local Filmmakers

When the Olympic flame is lit in Dakar on October 31, Senegal will become the first African country to host an Olympic event. Nearly 3,000 athletes from 206 countries will compete at the Youth Olympics under the motto “Africa Welcomes, Dakar Celebrates.” Organizers have promised to greet them with teranga, a word that refers to the Senegalese tradition of hospitality, sharing and generosity. On September 24, Senegal’s President

Bassirou

Diomaye Faye told the UN General Assembly: “By welcoming the world’s youth, Senegal will be hosting much more than just a sporting competition.” He said hosting the Youth Olympic Games shows “our differences [are] a strength, our diversity a richness, and our common humanity the foundation of peace.” These lofty values are, however, in stark contrast to a law adopted in March that provides for a 10-year maximum prison term for consensual same-sex conduct and punishes “promotion” of homosexuality, or financial or other support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people and organizations.

A new Human Rights Watch report documents rights abuses under the amended law, including mass arrests, forced HIV testing, barriers to accessing legal representation, and degrading detention conditions.

SAN BERNARDINO, CA — From a comedy set in Moreno Valley to a documentary by a Fontana high school student, Inland Empire stories took center stage at the third annual Inland Film Festival. Produced by Arts Connection, the Arts Council of San Bernardino County, the 2026 festival featured 71 films, nearly 60 per cent of them made by Inland Empire filmmakers.

The celebration began September 4, when more than 80 filmmakers gathered at KVCR Public Media for the Nominee Reveal and Mixer. Christian De Leon Gonzalez set his short comedy You Got a Light? in familiar Moreno Valley locations. Fontana student film maker Adriana Garcia explored the pressures young athletes face in Pressure To Perform. Lizbeth Calleja and Mayra Cortez told a multigenerational story set in a Hemet mobile home community in Tú y Yo, and Colton animator Adriannah Quiroz drew on music and years-old storyboards for I Thought of This One in My Car. On October 17, audiences had five theaters to explore at Regal San Bernardino, with a lineup spanning animation, documentaries, experimental films, music videos, narrative films, student productions and series pilots. The festival picked up in Fontana on October 23 with the free Storytellers Summit at Steelworkers’ Auditorium. A keynote, industry panel, and hands-on workshops gave students, emerging filmmak ers, and working creatives time to sharpen their skills, swap ideas, and meet others making films in the Inland Empire.

BLUE WAVE 2026: California Makes History as Democrats Sweep Elections

The American political landscape underwent a dramatic transformation on Tuesday, November 3, as voters delivered a historic series of Democratic victories that will reshape Washington, state governments and the direction of the country for years to come. From California to Texas, South Carolina, Georgia and beyond, Democratic candidates secured victories that few would have imagined just two years ago. In one of the most consequential midterm elections in recent history, Democrats captured control of both the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate, while making significant gains in governor's races and state legislatures. For California, the election brought its own historic milestone, with former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra winning the governorship and becoming the state's first Latino elected governor. Although some races and ballot measures remain undecided as votes continue to be counted, the larger political message is unmistakable: Americans voted for change, and Democrats will enter 2027 with considerably more power. California Makes History: Xavier Becerra Elected Governor

California voters made history by electing Democrat Xavier Becerra as the state's next governor, succeeding outgoing Governor Gavin Newsom. Becerra defeated Republican Steve Hilton, a conservative commentator and ally of President Donald Trump, in a decisive victory that further reinforces California's standing as a Democratic stronghold. With approximately 62% of the expected vote counted in the Associated Press tally available Wednesday evening, Becerra had secured approximately 64% of the vote, compared with Hilton's 36%. Becerra's election is particularly significant for California's La tino community. He becomes the first Latino elected governor of California, a milestone in a state where Latinos represent a substantial portion of the population and have played an increasingly important role in shaping its political and cultural identity. A former California attorney general, congressman and member of President Joe Biden's Cabinet, Becerra brings decades of government experience to Sacramento.
