Also accompanying the Oakland mayors delegation was a group of
black and Latino teenagers called "TEAM" who sang, danced, read poetry
and did an exhibit of Kapuera for the more than 100 invited guests.
Prompted by Oakland wheelchair activists Jane Jackson, who originated
Oaklands first "friendship declaration" with Santiago in 1994, and
led by young Puerto Rican-American Khalil Jacobs, the teenage group
made a strong impression on their Cuban hosts, who commented on
the importance of young people carrying this relationship on in the
future. Jerry Brown urged Santiago leaders to help provide art,dance
and music teachers for a new charter school he will be opening in
Oakland next June.
