By Thomas Peele, Chauncey Bailey Project

A look at those involved in the Chauncey Bailey case:

— Your Black Muslim Bakery: Founded in the early 1970s by Yusuf Bey, the bakery flourished for decades in Oakland, spinning off several bakery outlets as well as a school, day care center and other community organizations from its headquarters at 5832 San Pablo Ave. Yusuf Bey is the father of Yusuf Bey IV and more than 40 other children. He organized the bakery on principles of African-American empowerment and defiance and he preached a fiery blend self-reliance and racial superiority and separation. After Yusuf Bey’s death in 2003, a power struggle ensued among the remaining bakery leadership, and the bakery fell into financial difficulty, eventually filing for bankruptcy. It is now dissolved.

— Chauncey Bailey: Editor of the Oakland Post, Bailey, 57, was killed in downtown Oakland on Aug. 2, 2007, on his way to work. Bailey had been working on stories about the bakery’s financial troubles and internal power struggle.
