- Maudelle_Shirek abstract "Maudelle Shirek (born June 18, 1911- died April 11, 2013) is a former Vice Mayor and eight term City Council member the City of Berkeley, California.Shirek was born in Jefferson, Arkansas and grew up on a farm, the granddaughter of slaves. She moved to Berkeley in the 1940s and immediately gained a reputation for her dedication to civil rights issues. She married Brownlee Shirek and worked as office manager for the Co-op Credit Union. She was active in the anti-war movement, was a staunch union supporter, founded two Berkeley senior centers, championed HIV/AIDS awareness, and helped organize the Free Mandela movement. She was one of the first elected officials in the United States to advocate for a needle exchange program. She was also instrumental in creating multiple City Commissions, including the Berkeley Commission on Labor. These Commissions are made up of Berkeley residents, who play a role in City policy-making.At the end of her tenure, she was one of the oldest elected officials in the State of California. In 2005, Berkeley sought to name the Berkeley main post office after Shirek, but the attempt was defeated in Congress due to Republican opposition led by Iowa Congressman Steve King, who took issue with her connection to Oakland's Niebyl-Proctor Marxist Library and her support for the release of Mumia Abu-Jamal. In 2007, the Berkeley City Council renamed City Hall in her honor. A San Francisco Chronicle article referred to Shirek as "the godmother of East Bay progressive politics."".
