We, the journalism class at East Oakland Community High School, have created this site to:
Represent ourselves and the East Oakland Community. We will do this by submitting pictures, articles, essays, and poems by students in this class and in the school. We also want to provide help to the community (counseling) for drug addiction and family problems. Finally we want to show how students work to help the community at EOCHS.

We are here because of our need to represent ourselves. Through journalistic writing we will reclaim our voices in our everyday lives and the world in which we use them. This class and blog exist so we have a space where we can report on our own realities. We claim to be “Speakin In Tongues”, in honor of a letter written by Gloria Anzaldua, a letter that challenges each of us to reclaim our voices in the master discourse. Our stories are a means of survival we gift to future generations.
