lincoln wasn't a true abolitionist and on wednesday they compiled a list of more than 40 schools. >> i'm thinking about the slave and thinking about how they would feel right now. >> reporter: but wilson cong, a 2005 graduate of lincoln high school says he's hoping the board instead finds way to acknowledge each figure for both their feats and faults. >> why don't we take that as a lesson learned and teach an extra course on civil rights, on things they did back then in that time period, what happened back then that was uncomfortable to the students because that's when i learn about the history of america. >> history is a tricky thing. it's usually seen in a rearview mirror and in this case the road they've decided to go down is going to be possibly a bumpy one. >> reporter: phil mater first reported on this in july. a meeting about name suggestions will be held in november. i'm amanda del castillo, abc 7 news. being asked to be some of the

some of the purchases are based on necessity. >> more people are replacing their appliances because, frankly, they're getting more use than they used to get. >> reporter: the life-span for most appliances is just 7 or 8 years. and if you're working from home you're opening the fridge 20 times more per day. you might be cooking more at home. that's all going to affect the need for repairs. there is a backlog in repair services. >> many appliances are back ordered. we have the benefit of having a large selection. >> reporter: other stores report they're selling floor models to desperate buyers who can't wait. those appliances like washers and driers and ovens have contributed to a 9% increase in the cargo coming over from asia in the last few months into the port of oakland. on many days ships have to anchor because berths aren't immediately available. >> you're even seeing the shortages in some cases of very

prosaic things like the trailers you put the container on. so while we have this surge it may take a little longer to get your cargo. >> reporter: retailers suggest being flexible about the brand and the features on a home appliance to score one quickly. >> we would anticipate a lot more remote workers and a continuing demand. >> reporter: extremely high demand is projected for the next 6 to 8 months. in the east bay i'm leslie brinkly, abc 7 news. >> and part of our effort to build a better bay area includes how the economy is really changing during the pandemic. in the midst of it all two black sisters in the south bay are opening their own business. nirvana soul is the first black owned coffee shop in downtown san jose. it opens inside the weston san jose. they finalized their loan shortly after covid-19 hit. they chronicled their journey on social media taking their followers through all the changes as they gear up to open their doors. >> from the very beginning we

said we wanted to build this business with people around here in this community. we want to be transparent about how we were doing it, the roadblocks we were facing and how we were overcoming those roadblocks. >> nirvana soul opens at 9:00 this morning. the walls of the coffee shop features work from local artists. all right, lisa, a lot of people are trying to get fans if you haven't already gotten one, and it's going to be hot so hopefully people are able to find something to keep cool. >> it's going to be a prolonged extension of our heat. in fact, our inland valleys will see triple digits probably through thursday. the rest of us -- maybe around the bay come tuesday or wednesday. that's iffy and we're looking at a red flag warning to begin tonight. we still have that onshore flow warning keeping temperatures at the coast, comfortable in the 60s. but the fog not really out there. there are a few patches, but live doppler 7 showing you there it is very sketch at the best.

so as we look at a couple of numbers here around the bay area temperatures are pretty mild. talking mid and upper 60s, so it is pretty mild in the north bay, and elsewhere numbers are going to be coming up quickly today. into this heat as we get into later on your saturday night. so the winds have already shifted. north bay here you can see the clouds and the rain. we should be so lucky, right, up in oregon and seattle. 59 in san jose, and as we look at our 24 hour temperature change 14 degrees warmer in santa rosa. a little cooler over into the east bay, but the winds are already out of the north. mt. diablo about 23 miles an our. our forecast highlights increasing wind and fire danger. heat wave into early next week. and those skies are going to get a little smokier. what we've had in the sierra

nevada that's all going to be pushing our way. moderate air quality through our east bay today and then in the days ahead as our temperatures warm, the winds kick up, this will change and we'll see less of that blue sky. let's take you through the next several days with the wind by tonight overnight we're looking at 20 mile an hour gusts. if you can follow the color contour and you can see much stronger they get, they back up a tiny bit as we get into early sunday but another wave with strong winds sunday into monday, and the advisory is up until about 11:00. let's check out the relative humidity, how that declines. 81% in the city. by later on today about 30% in concord, and along the coast we're still doing pretty good. but here's your sunday morning. we recover 60% to 70%. look at your sunday afternoon. we're at 17% out in the east bay at 19% in fremont by 4:00 tomorrow, 10% santa rosa and going to get even dryer into

monday perhaps with some records. a few high clouds from time to time. and you'll get that sea breeze with mid and upper 60s at the coast so should feel pretty good today. 75 downtown, up in the north bay look for 89 santa rosa. 87 for you in napa. near east bay a warm one today in oakland at 80. a nice afternoon though in union settee feeling pretty good at 81. wish we could just leave it there, but as we head inland pleasanton 90. and monday looks to be the hottest day, still gusty offshore winds. 104 out towards antioch, and by tuesday even though you see the numbers drop off a bit at the coast and around the bay no relief inland until perhaps the end of the week. so really take it easy out there, but today should be kind of nice out there. >> sounds good. enjoy it while we can.

just ahead after monthsfose starting to open their doors, so we're going t hey, my twitter is blowing up! dear jack box, bring back the spicy chicken strips, still waiting for the spicy chicken strips, so many about spicy chicken strips. wow, i hear you. so i'm bringing back my juicy 100% all-white meat spicy chicken strips combo for only $5.99! but today there's a combination of two immunotherapies you can take first. one that could mean... a chance to live longer. opdivo plus yervoy is for adults newly diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread and that tests positive for pd-l1 and does not have an abnormal egfr or alk gene. it's the first and only approved chemo-free combination of two immunotherapies that works together in different ways to harness the power of the immune system. opdivo plus yervoy equals a chance for more days. more nights. more beautiful weekends. more ugly sweaters. more small outings.
