For the women who now run famed Oakland restaurant Everett & Jones BBQ, Mother's Day is both busy and bittersweet.
OAKLAND -- This Mother's Day was bittersweet for the women who run the famed restaurant Everett & Jones BBQ in Oakland. Their mother, Dorothy King died from breast cancer in March 2021.
"This year, with all the texts and e-mails and -- I'm just, like, 'I don't have my mom.' It's been pretty hard today," said daughter and co-owner White. "To my mom this meant everything. She loved the live music, she loved to have this space where people could gather and get together and do their political thing, she was a homeless advocate," White said.
King met with powerful leaders including President Barack Obama in Oakland and basketball stars Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant. The walls of the restaurant are decorated with photos showing King with celebrities, athletes and influential figures.
